As part of Capricorn’s ongoing commitment to supporting our Members, we’re issuing a one-off interim Trade Rebate of up to $15.7 million to eligible Members, returned as Capricorn Rewards Points based on Member’s Trade Account spend over the past nine months.
What is the interim Trade Rebate?
A Trade Rebate is one of the ways Capricorn may return value to Members. The Interim Trade Rebate is a discretionary benefit being provided to eligible Members at the determination of the Capricorn Board.
How does the interim Trade Rebate work?
-
Automatic and easy: There’s nothing you need to do. Capricorn will automatically calculate your rebate based on your eligible Trade Account spend.
-
Proportional to your spend: Your rebate is based on how much you’ve spent using your Capricorn Trade Account between 1 July 2025 and 31 March 2026.
-
Paid as Rewards Points: Your rebate is paid out as additional Rewards Points, which you’ll see on your Capricorn Trade Account May statement (issued in June 2026).
-
Flexible to use when it suits you: There’s no pressure to use your Rewards Points straight away - you can redeem them when it works best for you and your business.
How can you use your interim Trade Rebate Rewards Points?
Your Rewards Points are designed to be flexible, so you can choose what’s most valuable to you:
- Invest back into your business: Redeem points for tools, workshop equipment or office supplies.
- Pay off your Trade Account: Use Rewards Points to pay your Trade Account.
