Got my $500
Got my $500 in the mail yesterday -- Didn't see anybody post yet. AmEx gift card with 500 "points". Did mention that if used for gas you need to pay in person -- not at the pump.
edit: forgot to mention -- it needs to be used in the next 6 months or it expires.

There's a law in California, and maybe US-wide that a gift card cannot expire. In other words, someone paid cash to obtain cash value and it can never run out. Not like coupons that have no intrinsic cash value.
Nevertheless, I will have no problem using up the $500 in a few weeks. Window tinting, here I come!

Guys,
Buy your groceries with it, lunch, dinner, a lifetime supply of toliet paper, whatever.
I can't imagine anyone who just bought a $30K car doesn't spend $500 per month on stuff much less $500 over 6 months.

Really people, are you trying to tell me that you can't find some way to spend $500 in 6 months?!? Use it to buy your groceries, and take the corresponding cash out of your household budget, if it's that big of a deal to you.

Last week I received my "free 4 years of service" letter and today I received my $500 card. The card expires May 2004. I don't think it'll last much more than 1 or 2 months now that xmas is so rapidly approaching.
The card came with a letter that explains the terms and conditions - none of which seem unreasonable.
The "free service" letter is all that's needed until the service card arrives. Just show it to the dealer and they will honor it.
It looks as if the "free" service is worth anywhere from $600 to $1200 depending on the schedule you use and the friendliness of the dealership, etc. Considering that you also get a free loaner car while the car is in service, that ups the value for those that can take advantage of it.

Got my card today, but watch out! It comes in a very non-descript envelope which simply says "Requested Information Enclosed". Looked to me like junk mail but I opened it anyway. I could have easily thrown it into the junk mail pile. I'm sure glad I opened this "junk mail". :D

Didn't I see you got the Borla exhaust? Could you have waited and paid for that with the card?

I got my letter last week, just in time to take it in and get it serviced since I just turned 3200. Hoping the card will come this week, the bikes in for service and tires. 475. Maybe I'll buy a CD or something with the remainder.
