A method for reducing latency in product rebate eligibility, the method comprising:

• parsing and normalizing customer and rebate data from one or more utility companies to form normalized customer data and normalized rebate data;
• applying, via a rules engine, persistent utility rebate rules to the normalized rebate data to generate rebate profiles, wherein the rebate profiles include a plurality of rebate eligibilities for a plurality of redemption scenarios, and wherein each rebate profile is not customer-specific;
• and then
• querying, via the rules engine, the rebate profiles for ones of the rebate profiles corresponding to a customer identification;
• applying, via the rules engine, runtime rebate rules to the ones of the rebate profiles to identify one or more customer-specific rebates;
• and
• applying one of the one or more customer-specific rebates to a customer's purchase.
