Do rebates stack?

Hello all, I am close to purchasing a new RDX and I am new to the Acura world. I am active duty military and my wife just graduated with her masters. Does Acura allow you to stack the military and recent college graduate rebates on the same purchase? I am getting mixed results from the dealers I have spoken to and would like to reach out to the community to see if anyone else has experience doing this. Thank you for your time.

They've stacked in the past. You may want to call Acura corporate and get the word straight from the horse's mouth.

But - don't forget that you want to negotiate the price before you even mention any rebates.

Once you have the price you want, you say "I also qualify for the military and grad discount, so please reduce the price by $$$"

Never go into the dealership in uniform, if they ask you what you do, say "I work with avionics" err "I play golf" (AF), "I dig ditches" (USMC), etc, Otherwise they'll say "we already figured that discount in.

Make sure that you have that price o a signed purchase order before you say "oh damn, I forgot that I qualify for these two discounts, so you'll need to redo the paperwork please"

If you say it before you get it on paper, then they'll say "ohh, we can't do that" "we've already figured that in" or some other BS to get you to fold.

Me, I've waited until I'm in the F&I office to bring up military discounts.
