I got that too. Didn't really check it out but it seemed to be a result of me registering on the mbusa site?

Got one with my 05 E last Feb and another with my 06 ML500 in Sept. Never registered on the site and I believe its triggered by the dealer submitting a sale report.

Triggered by dealer. They actually are fairly nice. I think that this year's blanket was more desirable, though...

I paid well below invoice for my previous ’03 E320 and got free key chains and a blanket from MBUSA, also got a free windshield sunshade and MB all-weather mats from that dealer. Paid invoice for CLS - so far I received the gift mentioned from MBUSA and this dealer gave free key chains, a floor cargo net for the trunk, and one free navigation update when released.

Interesting, as stated earlier on this thread I had received the leather portfolio and just today I received a blue lambswool Mercedes blanket via Fed Ex. This was re my E class which will be 1 year old end of Jan.

I believe that these "gifts" are triggered by the dealer who is charged for a portion of the item. Some dealers elect not to participate in these programs. If you are in South Jersy you either dealt with Cherry Hill (which I can't stand) or Precision who is a low volume dealer.

Yup, got mine too, quite nice. I use it for my automotive documents such as insurance, registration and a photocopy of the title..

Chalk one in MBUSA's good customer service column.

No gifts, just monthly invoices and surveys

It would be nice to receive a surprise though.

Have all of you bought your casrs brand new from the dealer or any of you bought it used from private party and still got the gifts?
I didn't get jack, but maybe because i'm not in their system, i bought mine first 03' E in July, and still no blankie for me.

My Wallet gift came from MB Credit shortly after I got the car. My Blanket came at my 1 year anniversary. The blanket appears to be from a "Fulfilment House" because the selling MB dealer subscribed to a gifting service for all its new car purchasers, and not from MBUSA for all customers...

My selling dealer also gave me 2 Key Chains, which are sold thru "The Collection" catalogue and the dealer's own parts department at the time of my delivery.
