Received this via email today:

"Thank you for test driving a Cadillac vehicle during the Cadillac Spring Event. In appreciation for your interest, you will soon receive a $100 Cadillac Visa Prepaid Card."

Happy to see that everything was processed correctly.

My card came the day after I received that email.

FWIW, I didn't have a non-GM vehicle that was newer than 2004. Used my 2000 Ford Truck and still got the $100 VGC. Already spent it at WM a week ago.

Also did not need to test drive any car either. They just took down the registration information of the old vehicle, and my name/address. In and out of there within 10 minutes.

That was the overriding message you got from my post?

At any rate, yes... I guess it was unnecessary to add this supplimental detail.

I test drove a Cadillac yesterday. I mentioned that I had seen the promo on the Kelly Blue Book site. Very pleasant drive in the vehicle and nice salesman. Surprised that the gas mileage of the SUV was similar to my Toyota RAV4. Just twice the price.

They really want me to test drive the K900. I haven't seen this particular promo yet, but their other email promotions are sure trying to entice me. Unfortunately, the car was ripped by just about every credible review.

I am thinking that maybe you did something to generate this email. Did you previously see a webpage/solicitation where you gave your name, address and email (register)? That seems to be the way these things often work.

Have you gone in to do the test drive?

I just went to http://socialmail.com/chevrolet/newsletters and there were two choices. One was one the left was a test drive for the Chevy Suburban TD and the one on the right was for the Chevy Tahoe TD. The latter was already expired, so just posted the link for the active one.

Doesn't seem like any sign up for an e-mail is necessary to activate this link. It seems to be a page where anyone can view this newsletter offer and subscribe to it if they want to.

I will go do the TD today at my nearest Chevy dealer and post back with results.

I did this a few years ago at a Burlington, MA (USA) mall. I didn't even need to drive, and whichever company it was gave participants a $30 Simon (shopping center company) gift certificate.

Thanks for the info. I hope you post what happens on your test drive. At some point in time they will probably need your name, address, etc. Generally on the test drives I have done you register online and provide all the details and then it generates the invitation to the test drive. So, I would be interested what the dealer needs to plug in on this promotion.
