^Got Mine less then a month? Looks like your dealership was slacking.

I got mine a couple of day ago

<<Just like the topic says, Mercedes sent me a leather wallet, a personal vehicle information card to keep handy in it and a $25.00 gift certificate to Saks Fifth Avenue. Did anyone else get one?>>

Mine came yesterday, two months to the day since delivery. The nearest Saks store is 175 miles away so..........

Now l'm waiting for the MBUSA $1500 gift card which is going to buy me the wood trimmed steering wheel, among other things.

did you guys know that u were getting the mbusa gift cards? cuz there was no mention of it to me.

and i financed my car through MB as well. i hope i get it too!

but somehow they linked the auto loan to my bank (bank of america).. does that mean that it's not through mercedes financial?

I received a letter but no survey in my email. So you only get a gift if you fill out the survey about the dealership?

I recieved the same gift too at two month period from when i bought the car.

**Update**
Got these in the mail last week. That's 1 month after we took delivery.

I received a Mercedes Benz umbrella from the dealership. I wonder if Benz Canada has these cool gifts for their customers. :S

I got mine last week. I purchased my C300 at the end of October so I think it took about two months. Along with conglats letter, it includes $25 Saks gift card, owner's card, and leather id wallet. Too tiny but still happy to get it.

I think he means the MB Club gift card for $1,500. If you've been a Club member uninterrupted for 2 years then send them proof of your purchase of an eligible MB (the W204 is eligible), the Club sends you a gift card for $1,500 redeemable at any MB dealership for parts, service or accessories. Pretty good deal

I got a black leather notebook title "A History of Passion by Mercedes Benz". that all.... no key chain, no gift certificate... still waiting for my survey to come....tsk..tsk...tsk...

**UPDATE 2**
Woo hoo! I got this in the mail the other day. That's about 1.5 months after vehicle in service date.

if anyone wants to sell that card holder w/ the cleear window on one side i'll buy it as mine is getting loose and cards are slipping out...

pm me if u are intrested in parting w/ it

i got the same wallet and saks card. 3 months after purchase. better late then never.

They sell it from the Collection too, I think it's like $20.

As you can see, our American friends pay much less for their cars and get great gifts.

In Canada they overcharge us by $ 10,000.00 and they expect a gift from the customer.

I think after they made you a great deal there is no need for a gift. I am satisfied, but I can tell you that my wife really appreciates getting a gift. It creates much good will with her.

I don't think there is a similar standard here and we deal mostly with factory owned stores and they feel it is an honour for you that they even sell you one of their cars.

I find that over many years, I can say that purchasing a car from MB is the most unpleasant part of the MB ownership experience. Mostly, when I take delivery, the dealership is angry and I am angry driving away. Only when the purchase experience fades into the background, do I enjoy my car.

Yep - I also received my wallet and $25 Saks card 2 months after purchasing my S600 in September... As they say.... it is not the amount but the thought that counts.... Good on Benz!

I wonder if BMW or Lexus gives any kind of gift after purchase?

2 months today and still no gift....been needing a new wallet for a while now...

do u have a part #? cause i can't find it.....

hey guys ...

im not exactly sure where the little wallet mb sent me but ill be sure to look for it .....though not tonight and perhaps i can easily mail it to one of you ?? im not using it though the saks gift card has been used i can part with the wallet. PM me if interested. Happy New Year everyone ....

I'll have to look later. If you are looking at the Collection on the website, it sucks, and I think it is incomplete. The print version had it I think.

I think the whole gift thing is strictly up to the dealer. I'm sure some dealers subscribed to the program and other didn't. I got a very nice leather wallet, leather calender/organizer, and an AMG key chain when I bought my C32 from MB of Westchester. But when I bought the S-Class from my local dealership, all I got was a chain.

FINALLY! I received mine in the mail yesterday. It took 2 months.

Nope, owned both a ES300 and an M3 and nada. But then again I haven't gotten anything yet from MB.
