Scout Alarm’s own site names no first responder discount, and the pages that load show no group pricing of any kind. What does exist is cash back through MaxRebates, which carries Scout Alarm with a named offer for online purchases.
Scout Alarm sells do-it-yourself wifi home security. Its home page lists a hub, door panel, access sensor, motion sensor, video doorbell, HD camera, keypad, water sensor, glass break sensor and door lock, and its tagline is “No contracts, no hardwiring, no hassle.” The system works with Amazon Alexa, Hue, IFTTT, Google Assistant, Lifx, First Alert, Kwikset and Yale. If you work shifts, the page makes one point you’ll recognize: with a DIY system there’s “no need to miss work to let strangers into your home or apartment.”
How To Get The Scout Alarm First Responder Discount
There’s no first responder discount to claim. Scout Alarm’s home page carries no first responder, military or discount-program text, and the addresses where such a page would live, /military and /first-responders, each return the site’s own 404 page, the same one you get for an address that doesn’t exist. Scout’s knowledge base is the one place left to check, and it didn’t render for this post, so an article in there can’t be ruled out.
The route that does exist is MaxRebates, which lists Scout Alarm as an online-purchase store. Here’s how it works:
- Create a free MaxRebates account if you don’t have one.
- Search for Scout Alarm in MaxRebates’ stores and open its page.
- Choose Shop Now so MaxRebates sends you to Scout’s site, then shop the way you normally would.
- Afterward, check your MaxRebates account to confirm the order tracked.
What Scout Alarm’s Own Pages Show
Scout’s home page shows an email sign-up offer on a first order. It isn’t tied to a job or a group, and it isn’t a first responder program. Its support links lead to an FAQ and live chat page and a knowledge base, which is where a question about group pricing would go.
Returns And Warranty, Which Affect Your Cash Back
Scout’s home page says it offers a 60-day return policy for all hardware purchased at www.scoutalarm.com, with a prepaid return label and a full refund once the return is received. It also says it offers a 3-year warranty on all devices. That return window matters for cash back, because MaxRebates says “Returning or canceling part or all of your orders may void Cash Back earnings.” If you’re likely to send something back, wait to see how the first sensors work before you count the cash back as yours.
What To Watch With The Cash Back
This post doesn’t print a figure, because MaxRebates changes its rates. Check the number on MaxRebates’ Scout Alarm page the day you order. MaxRebates says “The Cash Back earnings are based on the final purchase amount, excluding tax, shipping and the amount saved through coupons.” It also says “Coupon codes from other sites than MaxRebates may void Cash Back earnings” and “All Cash Back rates are subject to change and at the merchant’s discretion.” So start from MaxRebates every time, and skip codes you picked up elsewhere unless you’ve checked what they do to your cash back.
Q&A
Q: Does Scout Alarm have a first responder discount?
A: None of the Scout pages read names one. Its /military and /first-responders addresses return a 404 page, and its knowledge base didn’t render, so that one surface is unread.
Q: How do I get money back on a Scout Alarm order?
A: Open Scout Alarm’s page on MaxRebates, choose Shop Now, and place the order in that visit. Then check that it tracked.
Q: Can I return Scout hardware?
A: Scout says it offers a 60-day return policy on hardware bought at scoutalarm.com, with a prepaid label and a full refund once the return arrives. MaxRebates says a return may void the cash back.
Q: What does the warranty cover?
A: Scout says it offers a 3-year warranty on all devices.
Q: Is the cash back rate fixed?
A: No. MaxRebates says all Cash Back rates are subject to change and at the merchant’s discretion.
Q: Which security brand does give first responders a discount?
A: SimpliSafe runs a program that names police, fire and EMT. It’s covered on our SimpliSafe first responder discount page.
