This is the first time in many years that State Farm has sent me a Rebate Check; probably 15 to 20-years… A while back I asked why I was no longer receiving rebate checks, “Corporate” sent me a very “nice letter” thanking me for my years as a loyal customer and stated that they were “issuing” those rebates in the form of reduced rates… I replied that issuing a distinct rebate check provides a far more tangible acknowledgment of the credit, whereas simply reducing a premium bill masks the benefit without clearly recognizing the rate reduction. Especially since I do not recall ever having any year’s premium less than the previous year’s premium… But you know what they say about looking a gift horse in the mouth… I’ll cash this check and drive merrily on my way… ![IMG_20260822_172446931_HDR](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/5/1/517029e5ceb4ec42d813f4cd8657dca7b14e2c83.jpeg) ---

I also just received a dividend check from them. I was a loyal customer for decades until an unfortunate incident in 2024 where I was a victim of a negligent neighbors fire and I incurred 10k in damages. State Farm paid my claim but did nothing to go after the responsible party. I now have a fire claim on my record and my rates went up. I have since switched companies to another which is probably no better, but its the principle of the matter. ---

Had them since 1968. In minnesota they paid out like 30% more than they took in so no rebates. After hail they bought me a new roof same as 13 yesrs ago. I paid more and went with a class 4 this time and they gave me a $400 premium reduction. ---

I had SF for 20+ years, home&auto, one not at fault auto claim. Then SF decided I lived too close to the ocean! I now have a different company. Received a divided, they applied it to my next bill.
