Figuring the early bird gets the worm, Sears, HHGregg and several bay area Lowe's will open by 6 a.m. Friday to woo hordes drawn to cash in on Florida's appliance rebates. The Lowe's in St. Petersburg opens even earlier at 5:30 a.m., and the chain is tacking on an extra 10 percent discount to the 20 percent rebates offered on six types of Energy Star appliances.

Beginning at 11 a.m. EST today Florida began offering shoppers a chance to reserve their rebate by receiving a "priority number" through www.rebates.com/florida. However, shoppers must buy first before applying for a number. That means many Florida retailers got an early start on the day so consumers could be back at their computers once the state's online system went live.

Florida has $17.6 million in rebate money to dole out as 20 percent discounts to buyers of six types of Energy Star rated appliances. The estimated 68,000 who qualify also can get $75 per appliance for properly junking the energy pigs being replaced.

Daybreak openings are among several strategies appliance retailers plan to snare their share of sales. Several promise added sale prices making total savings up to 40 percent. A few will write up advance orders, but not execute them until Friday. All are bulking up to handle crowds.
