Smile Member of USAA? Incentive on New Mercedes'

Not sure how many people know about this so i'm throwing it out there, as the dealerships probably won't jump to tell you about it.

So i just posted this in the S class forum also. My parents have used this incentive multiple times when they've purchased they're Mercedes.

Basically, If your a member of USAA you get an incentive (money offer) off the price of your negotiated car. The dealership has to log in and print a certificate, but all dealerships honor the system. We're getting a S63 in the next few weeks/month so we've looked into the current incentives for that also.

Current Incentives that I know of:

C Class $1,500
S Class $4,500

I can find out about the others if your looking into a different model, I think we have a printout laying around the house somewhere. Good luck!

When I bought my 2008 C300, I received a $1500 AMEX gift card because of my MBCA membership. Gift card, not a check. The more you spend, the bigger the amount.

That was from MBUSA, not the dealer.

The USAA incentive varies from time to time.

A few months ago, you could get $3,500 off of the C equipped with P2 and auto trans for a 2010 model.

I was totally oblivious about being eligible for USAA when I bought my 2008 C300 in Sept of 2007. Money left on the table is how I look at it. I'll know better next time.

I highly recommend others to look into their eligibility for USAA if they're in the market for a car.

And if you had been a member of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America (MBCA) you could have had another $1500.

Can that $1,500 be added to other incentives?

In most cases, you can't compound incentives.
