Free stuff from benz?
Simple thread, what kind of free stuff has Ma Benz sent you? You can't claim warranty repairs as free stuff. I mean like bribes for good surveys and stuff.
One day shortly after purchase I got a fancy leather thingy. I guess its for business cards and stuff. I have no idea what the hell its really for, unless its a really huge wallet.
They also sent me a SUPER nice wool blanket, with MB embroidered on it.
A couple of postcards, and I sent off and got that free poster with the card that comes in the warranty info book. It was creased when I got it...
Anyhow, thats what I have been given for being a customer.
As a technician I have scored a nice jacket, some leather luggage (love it!), a few snap on tools gift certificates, and some other odds and ends. I also get all the headaches and stress I can handle for free!!!

Received lots of promotional stuff from both my dealer and MB. The MB stuff is sent at the behest of the dealer at his cost.

a nice pat in the back. i submitted the evaluation form and said that they should at least hand out a key chain with the mercedes keys to the car. seems kinda cheap for MB to hand you two loose keys with a rubberband.

Got some nice key chains over the years and a coffee mug or two. I also got the leather thing that Saturnstyl got. Oh, and a pen or two. But after 12 Benz cars you'd think I could score a ticket to the MB factory to pick up the next one!

I don't think this came as a result of our owning two Mercedes-Benz vehicles. My suspicion is that the mailing came because of a card we fill out at a charity event, where Mercedes-Benz was a co-sponsor.

I have received keychains and mugs as well as gift certificates for $25. I just got another gift certificate last week that I will put toward my oil change.
