Acura coffee mug

Has anyone else received their free coffee mug yet? I got this thing in the mail today with no paperwork what so ever? I did not order it or ask for it, it simply showed up? The label on the box said Returns department Acura 1226 N Michael Dr. STE D Wood Dale, IL 60191 It's nice, but I don't drink coffee, anyone want to buy it? LOL.

very nice mug, i would buy it but i don't really use them in general. i found them to be too much of a hassle to bring around with me and i don't drink enough to make one useful.

I got them as well. Nice gift from Acura. If you don't want them, sell them on Ebay.

I just got it last week. There was a tiny piece of paper inside that said "Thank you for your recent purchase from myacura.com"... I got my car in November. The salesmen gave me a plastic mug and key chains at the time of purchase. So I guess this is an added bonus. Those you got it, did you register at myacura.com? I think that's how you get it.

Bought my TL middle of last November; got mugs last week.
They were at the house when I got home the day I had a major discussion about my dissatisfaction with service at my local dealer... thought at first it was some peace offering!

^ yes, when you offer something for sale in the main forums, it is off topic.

I just got mine today (both mugs). I use a similar mug every day, and it will immediately be replaced by this =)

Anyone know if this is dishwasher safe?

I just received in the mail the same mug with the same return address. I purchased the car in January.

Our dealer gave us two of them when we took delivery of the car, along with a high-dollar golf shirt. However, ours are a funky copper color.

BTW, I've seen other aluminum mugs like these at Wal-Mart for $3 that er actually better - the lids screw on rather than being a press fit, and they aren't as likely to leak around the lid. But the ones we got do keep the coffee hot.

I prefer styrofoam, though - when you're through you just chuck it - these you have to wash.

Acura has been sending out mugs/wine glasses this past year as part of an ownership campaign. I remember reading about this earlier in the year, we received the packet of information on how the program was to work but I don't remember the specifics. Acura plans to keep in touch with owners throughout a 3-5 year period hoping to retain repeat business.
It looked like a pretty cool program but they only had so many gifts to mail out, I think they will be sending out different items throughout the program.
