VW TDI goodwill package: Offers $500 Visa cards & $500 dealer credits to TDI owners

[woodentoy]

Used mine for two services and still had $140 left on it so I bought a jacket and two flashlights from VW Gear. About $1.25 left, they can have it.

I checked my VW dealer card balance at vwgoodwillpackage.com. The site states the card expires 11/30/2016.

Thanks, I checked and mine is the same. I'll spend that balance next week.

A few weeks ago my car was broken into and the only thing they found/stole was the Goodwill card. I called up VW, they shipped me a new card for $5 off my current balance and EXTENDED THE DUE DATE BY 1 YEAR. Picture for proof.


Your welcome! If anyone has a hookup on a Subaru Ambassador discount, I will call it even.

After no success with one VW dealer, another was able to order non-VW sized rubber from a "3rd party" vendor. So, truck is all set. $500 credit is toast.

I post to encourage others to check other dealerships, if ones stonewalling you can't provide. Sad thing was, many are having a "Buy 3 get 1 free" tire special. Eligibility for that applies only to VW sizing.

I've done all kinds of size jumping, plus sizing, etc., but no way was a Toureg tire (255/60) going to be tall enough for a Chevy (265/70).

Bought my wife some tires for her 2008 Honda pilot. Also got an inspection for it. Buy 3 get 1 free tire deal paid off. Plus my local VW dealer had an extra $100 if I used $500 with them.

I negotiated a price of $170 per tire installed for 235/70/16 Michelin Defenders. (Actually made them $127.50 each installed with buy 3 get 1 free) Total was $598.17.

Amazing deal considering these tires are $155 each on Tire Rack before shipping and installation - http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Defender+LTX+M%2FS&partnum=37TR6DLTXOWLXL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Honda&autoYear=2008&autoModel=Pilot%20EX%202WD&autoModClar=

My wallet is somewhere in Indiana on the side of the road with a partially used dealer card. Anyone is welcomed to use it.

Not sure if I can get it replaced.

I have just over $300 left on my dealer/service card which is to expire Dec 2016, I asked my local VW dealer if I could prepay for the 40K service which I'll probably need sometime this spring. They gave me a one year extension to be used there. And since I plan on keeping my TDI till they make me turn it in, I'll easily use the $$$ there.

Asked my dealer if I could prepay or purchase a gift card for their facility, they said nope..

Obviously every dealership can have different policies. The fact is that any VW dealer can accept this card for any purchase. To them it is just a pre-paid debit card. However, it is pretty clear that some dealers are more flexible than others. I have no idea why they would choose to turn down your money. Try a different dealership, if possible (or maybe even a different person at the same dealership).

Have Fun!

Spent my VW $$ on an APR tune to my '13 Golf TDI. Best investment that I've made! Absolute blast to drive and still get great MPG!

I'm looking for tires also. I called 3 VW dealers, all could get the 265/60/18 I'm looking for in their tire catalog, but brands were limited - BFG, Toyo, Goodyear, Hankook. None could get Nitto I'd like.

If I don't get tires, a full interior/exterior detail will probably eat the $500.

If you can't find anything you want right now, just call VW at the 800 number and say you lost the card. They will extend the date a year (to 11/17) and deduct $5 from the balance. Pretty cheap solution.
No problems here, I spent the biggest part of the card on the 3-year brake flush and the materials for the 40K service earlier this year, then DIY'd the service. This morning, I had the 50K oil change done at the dealer. Had $86 on the card, the OC came to $88....pretty close, card gone.

I know that my dealer VISA expires in November, but don't know the exact date, whether it extends through to the end of the month or what. I don't particularly want to look through the previous 3K posts, so, anybody know?

May be a stupid question, but does the card have an expiration date on it?

I believe credit cards with expiration dates are usually good through the last day of the month, but I think the dealer cards have specific dates, right?

 

[TexKlein]

You can check online of you want to really know. It also tells you the balance. Web address is on the back of the card.

I just used the last $52 on my card, seems a rabbit chewed through the wiring to my oil sensor, bummer!

I had a weed laying up against the bell housing, with ants marching up and down.

Sure enough, clutch won't release.

I am still looking to buy a couple of cards to save on some service which i need to get done...if anyone is trying to sell theirs, i am ok to buy it.

I have one with slightly over $300.

 

[mattbookpro]

I have one with the full $500. Don't you have to be there in person to use the card? If I don't have to be there in person, I'm definitely willing to sell. Daddy needs a new GoPro.

Meant to quote you in my post above. Have you used someone else's card before? I was under the impression they had to be present.

 

[bizzle]

You have to activate it in person and they have to manually swipe the card.
But if it's activated someone else can use it in person according to my dealership.
I bought a monopoly set with the remainder of my money.

Thanks for the info. Mine are definitely activated- just cashed out the black card via Amazon gift card. The White dealership card has $495 on it and I'd definitely take $400 for it if anyone's looking

Edit: Just called VW and "lost" my card so I could extend it for one year. $5 deducted from the balance for this.

How long did it take to get the replacement card? I just did the same and they said 3-6 weeks.

They stated 6 weeks on the phone, I got it in less than 2 weeks.

my local Audi 'ship says they "can't" accept my loyalty card... apparently they don't care to have new customers!

any other places i can spend this thing? ECS Tuning? iD Parts?

Bought $500 worth of coats and knit hats on VW Drive Gear through local dealer for local charity.

Is your dealer card a VW or an Audi card?
