Chitchat Unable to use the $300 climate voucher

[sbfuncle]

Recently I went to purchase water heater when the old heater not heating properly.
And realised all the listed participating shops are not accepting the voucher for water heater, when the website stated water heater as one of the voucher usable item.

I asked the shop assistant why..
All the shop gave the same answer - you can use it for fridge, aircon dc fan etc but not water heater. I then showed them that water heater is listed in the climate voucher website. And they told me - I don't know, you can try other shops but here cannot use.
I went to fairprice, courts and best denki and all 3 not accepting it. Wtf

You can consider this if you really can't get your water heater.

If we look closely on how the scheme is designed - yes it is indeed a scam.

It has denominations of $2 $5 $10 yet only big ticket items can be used.
They just wanted to entice and scam greedy sinkies to use it.

I believe if I report it to NEA, I will get the same answer I.e you can use it to buy aircon fridge etc.
The only thing that I can tell them back will be
Then remove the fucking water heater from your approved list.

Actually on my way to the shops, I had already thinking to myself, NEA so good meh can let me use $300 to buy something about $200 and still having a balance of $100 which can be used for the installation charge of $60-70 for a heater.

Yah, that's what I notice too, so I am waiting for the climate voucher retailer to roll out new batch of products. If no choice, going to expire, then I will end up with other brands.

Nevermind lah, don't buy water heater. Our weather is generally very hot, water is cool and nice. On cooler days when the water is slightly more chilled, just take short showers. Save water.
