Hey guys, having reading a few of these threads: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/another-gift-acura-724561/

I finally thought to myself that it is not really fair for some people to receive gifts and some don't. I have already purchased 3 Acura vehicles within the last 10 years and didn't received anything from corporate. So I took a chance and went to the Acura site and submit a comment or more like a dissatisfaction letter telling that I never received any gifts in the mail. Well, apparantly they do care because a month or so after my submission, I received a box from Acura today containing the 2 silver mugs.

 

Nice! They are definitely some sweet mugs. Now Acura is going to wonder why the hell they are all the sudden getting 500 requests for free mugs. Hopefully everyone else can get down on this too.

 

The wine glasses are nice too, but I'd rather have the mugs for traveling. Great work on your part

 

squeaky wheel gets the grease

 

i have 4 acuras in my family, just wondering, i never bought it from the acura dealership, all private dealers, does that still count? lol

 

LOL......no

Wish it did though.

 

uhm where on the acura site did you lodge the comment?

 

I got my travel mugs a few months ago, and I didn't have to complain to get em.

 

Sheesh, I never get anything. hahaha... We have like 5 Acuras in the family and still nothing. I mean I didn't buy all 5 but I wonder if I just bring that up that maybe they will send me some cool mugs. Those mugs are sweet!

PEACE!

 

I purchased my TL in December '08, and just a week ago, they emailed a promotion for half price off the second night at any W hotel nationwide, free upgrade to any room of choice, and use of a 7-passenger 2009 RDX for the duration of the trip. Me and the wife are planning our first anniversary around this promo...lol

 

Go to acura.com and go to client services and choose feedback.

 

I didn't think I would've gotten anything. I just send them a comment just to see if they were going to respond. I think I even told them to call me if they needed to contact me. So give it a try, I think anyone who buys an acura are entitled to get something from them.

 

I'm on it-I'll give it a try for sure.

I just did it-let's see if this works.

 

LOL! I think Acura will be getting a lot of ppl requesting these. Good luck everyone! The mugs looks great.

 

oh wow... they look sick.

 

I'm wondering if this applies to new car purchases only??? I bought mine slightly used, but certified, from an Acura dealer so I might try anyway.

 

do we know if the mugs are paid for by Acura corporate, or if they are paid for by the local dealer? Everyone I've talked to who has purchased from my dealer has received mugs. the mugs all come from the same address, but I wonder if the dealers are the ones who must initiate it.

btw - don't everyone complain or they may just cancel the whole gift program.

 

Sent out.. who knows if it works!

 

I think it's more for recent purchases. I bought my TL new and never got anything.

 

i just submitted to see what happens...

i have owned 4 Acuras (2 bought used and 2 brand new) and to be honest the after purchase experience really sucks... i never got a follow-up call to see how the car is doing or received any gifts...

i bought a used Lexus this past Feb... 2 months after i purchased, the dealer called me to check on how things were, and a week later i got a gift in the mail... keychains, and a coupon for a family portrait at a local photographer... it took me by surprise because i was never used to receiving gifts...

but it makes sense... it give the customer a sense of appreciation for their purchase. Acura should be a bit more consistent with this if they want to win more customers, and especially if they are supposed to be 'entry-level luxury' brands.

 

Just did it - let's see if it works. Oh yeah, I didn't buy from an Acura dealer so who knows lol

 

I got a similar email. Here is a copy:

haha acura is gonna get like 100 of these email now

 

What is the wording you guys are using to request these mugs?

 

I said something stupid lol basically that I want one. I'm sure you can do it professionally but I just came out and said it

 

What a bunch of AZ whores! Acura will be lombarded with people wanting mugs now. Hey, I knew this is going to happen when I posted this thread. I hope everyone will get something outta of this. But let's not get greedy especially the people who actually gotten gifts already.

 

Inquired about the amazing mugs.......

 

That's it. Word for word.

 

So i emailed acura and it took them exactly 1 week to respond.

here is their email:

I got the same email. I wonder what the substitute is????

 

See how we are all 'free' gift whores here I'm going to assume that Acura is coming up with a NEW gift.

Maybe a personalized flaming bag of poo!

I mean really .. you all want a mug? Don't you all have enough of them already?

 

I got the same e-mail yesterday!

 

Dang those mugs are so nice I would probably actually just buy them. Any idea where I could purchase those?

I know my dealership sales some like those. You may want to check yours........

 

I got a 1 year anniversary of ownership card in the mail last week.

lol

 

Hehe, soon they'll start sending packs of peanuts with ACURA logo instead.

 

+2

I might send them my info, maybe get something lol

 

I'm not holding my breath, but it did say, "we will try to provide you with a substitute item."
