Bayer PLUS FAQs

No, those currently enrolled in Bayer PLUS will not have to re-enroll each year. Your membership will automatically carry over to the new program year.

No, Bayer Plus rewards will not roll over from year to year. For instance, rewards earned in Program Year 2021 between September 1, 2020, and August 31, 2021, expire on April 30, 2022, and your account balance will be reset to $0. Purchases during Program Year 2022 between September 1, 2021, and August 31, 2022, expire on April 30, 2023, and your account balance will be reset to $0.

To qualify for redemption, your rewards balance must be at least $1,500 for Bayer PLUS Rewards, $500 for Bayer PLUS Potato, or $500 for Bayer PLUS Southern Fruit and Vegetable.

If you have redeemed all Available Rewards, that amount will show $0 while the Total Rewards keeps track of how much you have earned in the program altogether. If you have Available Rewards, 50% of that may be requested starting May 1, 2021. You will still see Total Rewards until the other 50% is unlocked during the 100% timeframe. 100% of rewards may be requested starting November 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022.

If you have not redeemed any rewards and Available Rewards is $0 while you have an amount in your Total Rewards, you have not reached the minimum required for redemption. Your rewards must be at least $1,500 for Bayer PLUS Rewards, $500 for Bayer PLUS Potato, or $500 for Bayer PLUS Southern Fruit and Vegetable.

Bayer PLUS Rewards is designed to reward growers that use multiple products on an acre. Due to the individual agronomic needs of growers and the need to standardize the reward calculations across all program members, it is assumed that all eligible products purchased are used on the same acre even if they may be used on different fields in real life. 

There are three (3) incentive categories that utilize “Matched Acres” as part of the rewards calculations: 

• Product Portfolio
• Roundup^® Brand Agricultural Herbicides
• XtendiMax^® 

Earning rewards within the Roundup Brand Agricultural Herbicides and XtendiMax incentive categories:

The Roundup Brand Agricultural Herbicides and XtendiMax incentive categories were designed to reward members for using a residual herbicide product along with these most popular herbicide products. You can think of "Matched Acres" as earning rewards on the acres with both a Product Portfolio herbicide AND either Roundup or XtendiMax herbicides on the acre, too. Rewards are calculated based on the number of "Matched Acres" of eligible herbicides to the Roundup Brand Agricultural Herbicide or XtendiMax acres. Note that the same Product Portfolio herbicide can be matched for Roundup and XtendiMax earnings. Without purchasing a Product Portfolio herbicide, members will NOT earn on Roundup or XtendiMax purchases.

To qualify for cash-back redemption for Bayer PLUS Rewards your rewards must be at least $1,500.

Overview:

There has been a mid-year update to the 2022 Bayer PLUS Rewards program. Growers who have or will purchase XtendiMax^® Herbicide with VaporGrip^® Technology* and a qualifying Product Portfolio Incentive herbicide during the eligible purchase period (9/1/21 – 8/30/22) will no longer be required to purchase a Roundup^® Brand Agricultural Herbicide to qualify to earn rewards. This program update can reassure growers of our commitment to XtendiMax herbicide and the XtendFlex^® platform to offer growers application flexibility in their fight against weeds.

*XtendiMax^® Herbicide with VaporGrip^® Technology must be used with VaporGrip^® Xtra Agent (or an approved equivalent vapor-reducing agent).

Product Portfolio Incentives:

We’ve added a new incentive tier to the Product Portfolio Incentive category. In this program year, you are now eligible to earn rewards on up to 6 products.

Partner Product Incentives:

This year, growers who have qualified for either Product Portfolio Incentive or Roundup^® Brand Agricultural Herbicide Incentive first, can now unlock Valent products the same way as the agronomic add-ons, and they calculate the same way, meaning not limited to matching acres.

Loyalty Rewards:

Growers who qualify for Bayer PLUS Rewards can earn an additional 10% on their rewards dollars by sending all (or a portion) of their check to a Bayer retailer of their choice. To qualify growers must meet the $1,500 rewards minimum and select a dollar amount in the portal redemption screen that is over $500.

Two Ways to Unlock to Earn:

There are now two ways to unlock to earn. The first way to unlock your Bayer PLUS Rewards is to buy two or more eligible products in the Product Portfolio Incentives category. The second way is to buy a Roundup^® Brand Agricultural Herbicide AND one or more eligible herbicides in the Product Incentives Category.
