No, I didn't. From the looks of it, it seems to be an automated e-mail from Synergy Marketing which was probably the company that was handling the Chevy/Macy's promo.

My Macy's $50 gift card arrived. Came in a USPS flat rate priority mail envelope. Inside was a generic Macy's gift card. Wee, more online shopping. ^

Just got the email indicating the Macy's GC arrival date. I'd suggest to folks who have crossed the 6-week mark to ring up Chevy. That seems to have worked for me.

I'm going to use it by considering it as a $50 off for a Braun electric shaver. What do you plan to use it for?

OT: The model had been malingering for a while. It badly needed a refresh vice another decade+ of minor facelifts. OTOH, for the money (which I'm still not willing to plunk down), there's still 10+ more fun / better value rides out there, with scant Big 3 representation at the top of the field. If anything, the latest redesign keeps an adrift model at least somewhat relevant, though I'd agree the Corvette's glory days are very much over.
But if someone offered me another $50 GC to test drive it, I'm in...

$25 gift card VW or Mercedes Benz YMMV
Folks are reporting on Slickdeals that this works on both VW and Mercedes Benz dealer websites. The pop up will offer a $25 gift card for accepting a test drive (choice out of 3...Taget, Mastercard or Starbucks). No dealer near me is offering this.
go to vw.com or mercedesbenz.com usa
select locate dealer
click thru the go to dealer website (don't schedule a test drive or anything)
select new model
pop up
go to vw.com or mercedesbenz.com usa
select locate dealer
click thru the go to dealer website (don't schedule a test drive or anything)
select new model
pop up

Thanks! It worked for me for VW for two of my nearest dealers in LA. Can't seem to get Mercedes to work.

Works for Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles. ^
No luck with Mercedes Benz though.
I chose the prepaid MasterCard option. Why go with Starbucks or Target gift card when the Visa is good at both of them plus everywhere else?

...or, another angle is that you can easily re-gift the Starbucks and Target GCs, while some folks still think a Visa card comes across as odd.
And like the other folks, VW worked while MB did not via Firefox and Safari.
Also caught that T&Cs state it's one per household, not per person.
