Last night I received via US mail a thank you letter from my dealer for buying the Hummer H2. Attached to the thank you letter was a card that stated in bold, red letters:
"Redeem For Free Tank Of Gas", or something to that effect.
I thought, wow! a free tank of gas! I will run it till empty, and then redeem my card for free gas! (Just filled up at COSTCO @ 247.9)
Then I started to read the small print on the card, under the bold, red letters(the small print is never good news), "Bring in your GM Survey, uncompleted, and receive a free tank of gas."
What would you do? Take the gas, or take the GM survey?

Take the gas then write GM a letter along with a copy of the letter that you received and see if that is Kosher.

That **** pisses me off. All the dealer is trying to do is get your blank survey from you and fill it out themselves with 100% satisfaction.
If you were going to put anything other than perfect on it, I'd tell them to suck it.

If you think their service was flawless, there's no conflict. If not, make a photocopy of the survey. Fill it out honestly. Drop it in the mail. Next day or two, take the original to the dealer and collect your free tank. Then go home and wait for the fun to begin!  |

tower...AWESOME idea!!!!
I would do that...f' them both!  If you can't make an exact photocopy for any reason ( paper is different, etc.. ) give the dealer back the original and send GM the photocopy along w/ a copy of the original letter ( photocopy it for your records ) and your honest opinion of your experience w/ the dealership...and your honest opinion of this situation...don't elude to giving the dealership the blank card and getting the gas...let the crocks square off w/ the mother ship on their own |

Blackmail them for 7 tanks of gas.
Then send in the copy.

I have overheard dealers talking about offering customers $100 for their "completed" surveys...

Forget the whole damn thing---dealers are crooks and we all know it, no matter how much they smile.
Waste no no more of your life over a tank of gas. Life is short. Go have fun or use the time to make more money or spend it with your family.

hart- I cant believe they want your uncompleted survey for a tank of gas , thats unbeleivable.
I'd send a letter back to the owner of the dealership and tell him , You'll buy him a tank of gas if you can bang his old lady in the piss fenders.

Hart...I notice they say "bring" it in. I'm wondering if they want you to complete it in their presence to answer any questions/complaints/etc you may have? It could just be their proactive way of staying on top of customer satisfaction. Not saying it is but you might want to take it in and see what happens. Then you can decide whether or not to take some of the other actions suggested here.

At our store if you bring in a completely satisfied survey we will give you a free tank. I don't know my feelings on this, but I can say things are alot better around the dealership when CSI ratings rae up!

LV: Good question. I was looking it over last night, and the exact wording is ""...bring in your Blank survey..."". I don't really know...
I will not sell my soul for 2.47 a gallon !!
(however, I will keep the card/servey handy just in case gas hits 3 bucks a gallon ) |

I wansn't aware that Bush could run for another term in 2008. Maybe you haven't got to that part of the social studies book yet.
