There is a limit of 9,000 claims on this promotion, putting its face value at up to $1.8 million.
According to this promotion’s rules, Panasonic must receive details of the electricity account and receive claims within 20 days of purchase.
Consumers can check how many claims remain by texting ‘Air’ to 0419 581 455. At the time of publishing 8,988 claims remained.
