Do only "owners," get these and not those who lease?

Not that I worry about the wallet much, since it is leather, and I'm a vegetarian. ha

Got mine yesterday.

I wonder is these gifts are dealer sponsored?
Since they seem to be random at best, perhaps the dealer initiates the activity.

It's really quite useless, what with the nearest Saks store being 175 miles away.

Must be. I took delivery in October and still haven't received anything.

Can it be used for Saks web site or catalog purchases?

I just got something else from them - a nice logo ink pen. There was a note that said it was for completing a survey. Didn't expect to get anything else.

I got mine late last week.

I received the wallet and gift card a few weeks ago. Then I received the marble pen last week for completing the phone survey. Luckily there is a Saks at the nearest mall and the pen is nice. It will fit in the "drawer" in the dash of the E350. Sunglasses are too big for the drawer.

<<I got the same thing for my cls550, and should most likely be getting this same gift for the c350, lol.>>

The generosity of MBUSA is very touching. Buy a car and we send you a little something. Very little something.

Last week Fedex delivered to Porsche owners across the US a box containing an 80% replica of the Porschestrasse street sign outside the Leipzig plant. I am impressed.

That's where the Cayenne is built and the Carrera GT was produced. The upcoming 4-door will come from there also.

I haven't spent any money with Porsche in a looong time.

I got a couple key Mercedes chains (with the dealership engraved one the back) when I took delivery. I received the wallet with a Saks gift card and owner's card inside of it almost about a month and a half after I took delivery.
Though the wallet seems really cheap and not something I would use (likewise any typical Mercedes owner) and the $25 gift card is rather petty (I used it on a $300 online purchase on a couple shirts), it's better than nothing and the offer was appreciated.

I don't really care for freebies with the dealership's name on it as it's free marketing for the dealership. Though I was expecting more swag I paid full sticker and these Mercedes accessories under $100 such as fleece wear, valve stem caps, travel bags, etc. and these things cost very little in terms of their cost. I got much more (and more exspensive) freebies and useful gifts when I bought my Acura.

The wallet/gift card most likely is not a dealer sponsored gift, as the accompying letter is signed by the president/CEO and the literature describes the owner's card, owners online feature, roadside assistant, customer service, and other Mercedes ownership feature/perks.

Looks like the only consistent MB gift is the credit card holder (I wouldn't call it a wallet) + $25 Saks gift card. Otherwise your mileage various dependent on dealer. I got the 2 key fobs also, thank goodness without the dealer's name engraved. Also got a gift basket from the dealership, signed by the sales manager.

<<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>>

It's one year membership, not two, and cars delivered before 1/2/08 are not getting one.

So says MBUSA.

pmb600

Lol, a typical Mercedes owner wouldn't like the card case? I think it's pretty nice looking and useful. I actually ended up switching to it from my good wallet. It's just small and easy to carry.

micropower99

I got that **** too, so stupid how us canadians get screwed overr and over, first with the over pricing then with us having to have to wait over 3 months to get any type of w204. *******s lol

Baron Samedi

Not too bitter are we?

RLE

<<Baron Samedi;Not too bitter are we?>>

Pissed off is the word. $1500 is nothing to sniff at.

BTW, is Baron a name or a title?

mac911

Yeah thats awesome. I sure wish I had known about the Mercedes Club thing, if I could have predicted it and joined a year before I got my car. ha-ha!!!

Do they do this every year, or is this the first time ever?

It began it 2007 and the '08s were excluded, then. So those club members who took delivery of '08 C-Classes in '07 are out of luck.

I needed an alias when I started playing Call of Duty (a WWII first person shooter video “game”) online and Baron Samedi seemed appropriate. I’ve used it ever since.
