Any of you guys receive this in the mail?

"Stop in and take a qualified test drive in any of our Nissan line-up and NissanNowEvent.ca will give you a $200 gift certificate. No strings attached. No purchase necessary."

Sounds too good to be true :dunno:

Yea...is this $200 off the car or actual cash? Mazda has a $50 gas card right now for test driving their vehicles.

Advantage Ford had the same deal the other week. A $200 Visa giftcard for a test drive. I booked my appointement, and then ditched it because I hate Advantage Ford, so I can't tell you if it's legit or not.

I want to make sure I have their marketing strategy figured out here.

You go in and take a test drive and want to buy the vehicle.
The salesman tells you to go home and wait 6-8 weeks for a gift certificate to arrive in the mail
Come back in 2 months to buy it.

:dunno: That doesn't make sense.

went for the $25 card at Suzuki about a month ago and they reneged on the deal as soon as me and a friend walked in. "You guys here for the gas card? we're not doing it". IMO Most of these deals are scams you don't find out about until you actually go there and try to collect

$25 seems more reasonable, but $200? :eek: Any Beyond guys work at Nissan?
I wonder if the sales people are expecting a lot of people to come in with no interest of buying or leasing a car just to get the gift card, I don't want them flipping out on me for wasting their time

You mean South Deerfoot Suzuki was lying and scamming? I don't believe you, they are a very reputable dealership, just search Beyond for reviews!

It says:

_______, bring in this voucher in order to receive your $200 Gift Card with your qualified test drive!*

There's a "*" next to it, I wonder what it means. I hope it just means you have to be qualified to purchase the vehicle, such as a credit check or something.

I just did the test drive tonight, not cause I wanted the $200 but because I'm actually considering a Nissan. To get the $200, you have to apply and qualify for a credit approval on one of their cars. And the $200 is just a gift certificate to some crappy website full of crappy things (cook books, board games, cheap jewelry, etc...)
