Acura gift card - Do you have one?

I got a postcard yesterday that I will be receiving a $100 gift card in the mail. Has anyone else received the same offer?

I didn't have to do anything. I might use it on a Comptech flywheel.

Amazing! It doesn't seem dealer-specific at all does it. like it came just from your dealer?

Also, could it be a 3 year present for owning your TSX? The earliest cars are about 3 years old now, right? I know you were an early adopter JTso but I don't know everyone's chronology here.

That's cool, JTso. I'll keep an eye out for it. Hopefully the only criteria for getting one is TSX ownership Maybe an Icebox is in my future.

I'd like to figure out how you guys got on this list. I could use a $100 myself (who couldn't?)

I just get "discounts" for $25.00 oil changes..

Which is lame because my Honda dealer is much closer, charges 20 and washes my car better

Did you guys finance or lease?

When I had my scion - everyone who financed received a $50 gift card.

I leased the TSX, so havent seen anything yet.

I also didn't get anything from those money-grubbing low-lifes. I can't believe a car company would go day after day without sending me cash. Jerks.


I didn't get any gift cards from GM or Ford either. Guess I'll never buy a car from those cheap bastards.

Notice on the postcard, it's still ironic that if Acura wants to distance themselves from Honda, why does the marketing manager still put "American Honda Motor Co"?

Btw, I never get anything from Acura themselves, just service coupons and reminders from the Acura dealers where I get my car serviced at.

LOL! The pen I got. It came with the manual and that pseudo-leather pouch that came with the car.

Maybe JTso rates higher than the rest of us TSX owners

Maybe because I've never brought my car in for service and this is how they try to lure me in.

Hey, your family hasn't owned 7 Acuras either.

Plus, this is my 3rd Acura and 2nd TSX. I feel like I've sent them enough money to deserve a little something back.

It is most likely because you provided a referral to the dealer. My daughter received a card for referring me (even though she bought a used non-Acura from them).

3 year present eh? Perhaps I should be on the lookout in July.

Last time I was in the service department for my first oil change on the car the woman at the service desk gave me a gift bag that included a body wash, lotion and bath salts and a small towel with the Acura logo on it. I was a little surprised, then insulted!!! Were they trying to tell me something about my hygiene!!
I can't imagine that is the best gift bag they could give out and that its appropriate to a car dealership. It was very strange. I'd much rather have the $100 gift card instead!

Actually, maybe it was a comment about your sexuality as opposed to your hygiene...

I didn't get a gift card, but I got "new owners" bag with a hat, detail kit and a bunch of random stuff with the dealer's logo on it. Not to mention they gave me a 1G ipod nano as well.

You wanna swap the nano for my bath products? I haven't opened them yet. They are still wrapped up nicely in the gift bag they gave me !!!

I just received the gift card today! However, I have to use it by the end of August 2006. Time to look for things to buy.

I got one of these in the mail and I have never provided a referral. I was a little surprised to say the least that Acura would do something like this. Don't know what I'm going to get yet - I try to stay away from the dealer. I have to use it by Aug 31 or it expires.
