Package from AMG

As I expected, I got a package yesterday includes some AMG history and one CD. The funny thing is that it also includes a $100 department store gift card!!! I just handed it to my wife and she was really happy about it..At the same time, I just asked if I can do some mod to my car.. like K1...
I think it's a great strategy designed by AMG, help husband to spend extra money on the car...Thanks!

I've seen a few threads about this already. Is it just a US offer? Have any non-US owners received anything? I certainly haven't (in Canada).

Yes, Canadian owners also get the same package, sans $100 gift card. We also get enrollment into the "One AMG" membership which I'm unclear as to what it actually means, aside from authorizing MB Canada to bombard us with even more marketing materials.

When I got my E55, AMG sent me a nice leather wallet to keep my AMG card in. But for the C63, nothing.

Damn I've been waiting for this for the past few months and haven't gotten anything yet. Have they stopped giving these out? I bought back in Aug/Sept.

You’re not wrong, though to be fair it’s not just AMG’s. All vehicles here cost a mint both local and imports. An example is the Pontiac G8 & GXP, it’s the same as our local Commodore with a different front bar to give it the Pontiac look. It’s was manufactured here in Australia and exported to the USA and sold for around $10,000 cheaper than we could buy it locally. Stamp duties and sales taxes are a killer here. Also a number of manufacturers do provide a detail range of gifts to soften the blow, such as watches, clothing, golf supplies and so on. Though I’d much prefer no gifts and a cheaper price for the car.

I should add I also received 2 x AMG key rings, an elongated duplication of the AMG badge, 4½ inches long x ¼ inch wide. Understandably they were never taken out of their holding cases, I didn’t want to impale one into my leg if I sat down whilst it was in my trouser pocket.

I got this as well! It was very nice! I bought my C63 a couple of months ago and it came in the mail maybe 4-5 weeks after the purchase. Great DVD, $100 to Saks Fifth, some cool literature, etc.

I got champagne, some floor mats and a magazine! Also got a MB zippo as a gift, since dealer is a friend of the family.

Very nice lighter, but made me think if it is politically correct, as a corporate policy, to encourage smoking... was thinking about that while smoking a cigar... haha
