Heineken is doing a promotion for 2026, where you can submit for a $20 rebate if you buy a 12 pack of Heineken, Dos Equis, or Tecate and spend $75 on groceries. In most parts of the United States, a 12 pack will cost less than $20, so this is actually a moneymaker. In Colorado where I live, I can usually get the beer for $12+tax, so I make ~$7 each month. They've run this promotion for the last few years, but you do need to submit for the updated 2026 rebate (you'll see on their page).

F.A.Q.
Q. How long does it take to submit the rebate and how long does it take to get the money?
It takes me 3-5 minutes to submit the rebate. In 2023, it was all done on the phone and it was quicker.
I usually get the money in about a month. I've never not gotten a payment and I've been doing this for 2 years.
Q. How do I qualify for the rebate?
Save your receipt from the beer purchase as well as the grocery or gas purchase if applicable. You'll upload a photo of these to the rebate site. Personally, I highlight the relevant information (beer purchase, location, date, etc.), but I'm not sure that's required.
Q. How often can I submit?
Once per month. e.g. If you're doing the grocery rebate, then both the grocery receipt and the beer receipt (can be the same receipt) must be from the month you're submitting for.
Q. If I pay less than $20 for the beer and submit for the $20 grocery rebate, will I get a smaller payout?
No! I always get a $20 payout and have never submitted a receipt with a beer purchase over $15.99.
Q. Can I submit for the grocery rebate and the gas rebate and the other smaller rebates each month?
Yes! But your beer purchase must be separate. e.g. You can't submit the same 12 pack for groceries and for gas and get $35 from one 12 pack.
Q. Can I submit for all three brands (Dos Equis, Heineken, Tecate) each month?
Yes! Just use a different grocery or gas receipt for each one.
Q. I don't drink beer or like this brand, should I still do this?
Yes! It's free money! Where I live 5 minutes each month gives me $7. Give away the beer or pour it down the drain.
Q. Which 12-packs count?
If it says Tecate, Heineken, or Dos Equis on it, then it counts. I sometimes get the non-alcoholic Heineken 12-pack and that counts. I've gotten the light version of Heineken and Tecate as well as the ambar version of Dos Equis and all have counted.
Q. I lost my receipt, am I screwed?
No! I do grocery pickup or forget to get a receipt and print the grocery receipt (or just keep it in digital format) and submit that regularly.

I've copied this text from the site:
"Product must be purchased between January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026"
But I agree with you that the system before was better. In 2023 or 2024 it was on the phone and the payout was a few days later instead of a month later.
