Sign up for Rush Hour Rewards and manage participation

You’ll need 2 things to sign up for Rush Hour Rewards.

• An account with an energy partner participating in one of our energy saving programs
• A Nest thermostat added to an account in the Google Home app or Nest app

You’ll typically get an email to sign up for Rush Hour Rewards a few days after you install your thermostat and connect it to an account in the Home or Nest app. You can also search for Rush Hour Rewards programs in your area and sign up anytime.

Once you submit your application to join a Rush Hour Rewards program, your energy partner  will review your application and reach out when you’ve been accepted. This process can take up to weeks.

Home app

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. Tap Settings .
3. Under Nest services & support, tap Subscriptions .
4. Tap Rebates & rewards .
5. Follow the rest of the onscreen prompts to enroll in programs that are available to you.

Nest app

1. Open the Nest app tap Settings Rebates and rewards.

Simply change the temperature on your thermostat to stop participating in the Rush Hour event. You’ll stay enrolled in Rush Hour Rewards, and your thermostat will participate in the next Rush Hour event. If you repeatedly stop participation in the events, you may lose out on some program incentives depending on your energy provider’s participation requirements. Please check your program requirements for details.

When you’ve successfully opted out of an event, the Nest Leaf  is removed from your Nest thermostat’s display and the app. “Rush Hour” will stay on the screen until the event ends, even if you’ve successfully opted out.

If you’re currently enrolled in Rush Hour Rewards and you want to unenroll, you may get in touch with our support team by visiting the Google Nest Contact Us  page. Once you unenroll, your thermostat will no longer participate in Rush Hour events.
