Thanks OP. I registered, printed the page,but didn't see details of if I have to mail something in after test drive or if the dealer gives you the gift card. Any Idea how this one works?

I printed the email received after I viewed the video and signed up for the test drive offer on the site. The email has your code number for the offer. I then took the printout to my local dealer. He took me into his office, where he pulled out a letter from the company which gave details of how to validate the offer. He typed in a particular URL, then logged onto the site, and there as a link which took him to this particular program and allowed him to enter the code number from my printout. After entering my code number, my information that I'd entered online appeared, he checked some confirmation boxes, added his name, hit enter, and that was it. Easy and simple. He printed off a copy of the "completed" confirmation page for me and one for him to keep as well. So some dealers do keep up with this stuff and do know how to handle the promotions.

IMO, that doesn't sound so easy and simple, because this requires full cooperation from the dealership associates, they must have the knowledge about this protocol and they must do all the work like typing stuff into the system, ..., I mean, come on, this is not like asking them to simply sign on a piece of paper.

nice post OP...can't wait to give it a shot

thanks OP, will give it a shot.

I wonder if they'll be willing to validate that for you without taking the test drive. I hate to waste the sales person's time if I'm not buying the car. Based upon the confirmation setup, you have to take the actual test drive.

Last time I was int he Buick dealership, the salesman was a n00b! He didn't even bothered walking toward me. I had to approach him and get that thing signed. I highly doubt they know how to use a computer. Not even going to try this time. Thanks tho!

Took this Buick certificate to the local dealer in Los Angeles yesterday and did test drive.

They have no idea how to process the certificate for fulfillment and told me to call the salesman back in 2-3 days about this offer.

Any intelligent dealer in SoCal area?

Any intelligent dealer in SoCal area? perfect example of how time can be wasted. word of advice: if you do actually have to take an actual test drive make sure the sales people know how to fulfill the reward.
