A $500 gas card was offered to owners of W163's if they traded up to a W164 within certain time constraints. It is not dealer specific. A letter went out to the W163 owners to explain this offer.

Still waiting. According to MBUSA, it can be up to 12 weeks from when the dealer submits the bill of sale to MBUSA. Well, it's been 10 weeks and 2 days for me.

Will do--I had my salesperson check to make sure they sent in the bill of sale last week. It was sent 7/20. I didn't want to wait 12 weeks then find they'd never done it!

Well, yesterday, 11 weeks and 1 day after my dealer sent in my bill of sale, I get a call from MBUSA asking if I've received my gas card. Nooo, I say. "Oh, we thought you had received it." Grrrr. So, they promise they will look into it and have it to me within 2 weeks. Why should this take so long?

I was just about to email you to see if you had gotten your card yet. With all the mail problems we have going on here in the South Mississippi, I was a little worried that mine had gotten lost with all other mail missing. For once I'm glad its a little delayed but will check in to more this week. Mine was sent in about week after yours.

Gas card update

I purchased my ML on July 6, and the dealer sent in my bill of sale confirmation July 20. So, as of today, it's been 15 weeks since MBUSA received documentation.

I spoke with a supervisor in the Consumer Promotions department today and she apologized for the delay and said I would definitely receive it within the next 2 weeks. I'll believe it when I see it.

Funny how they can take a program that is supposed to produce positive feelings and make it do just the opposite.
