Mercedes-Benz Club of America (MBCA)
Is membership worth it? I joined BMW CCA - before my order fell through due to lack of dealer allotment (lost my taste for BMW after that debacle!).
Perusing the site it looks like there are some decent benefits. 1 year vs. 3 year membership advantages?

I enjoy the magazine and won 2nd place in the membership drawing last year, so Im partial. I just do the annual. I think they give you some discounts on a Mercedes purchase from a dealer.

I like the magazine and raffles (never won...sigh) and the DC area club is pretty active. It's nice to see cars you don't see too much on the road anymore, like pagodas, 80's S-classes, etc.

I wish I had known about it sooner (got my GLC two months ago). They appear to have a pretty healthy incentive for GLC leases and purchases ($1500) but it says you have to use it at the time of delivery. Honestly I rarely see MBCA mentioned anywhere (even here) while the BMW club seems to get mentioned a lot on various car and deal forums. I still ended up joining recently but we'll see if the magazine and parts discounts (among other little perks) will make the $55 worth it or not.

3. Who is eligible to participate in this program? A. All MBCA members are eligible to participate in the Member Rebate Program. B. Buyers must be members when purchasing or leasing a new Mercedes. C. There is no waiting period for eligibility. Once the prospective buyer joins the club, they are immediately eligible for the program.
I was able to use USAA as well but the incentive wasn't as high when I got my GLC.

Just received welcome letter - but members must print own membership card, it is not provided. I'd already printed mine on cardboard stock and laminated it. Surprised they just don't provide a card for membership
I did get a static cling logo for Mercedes-Benz Club of America to apply to a window.
Has anyone taken a picture of the membership logo on their vehicle. Can't apply here yet till my windows are tinted.
