Hi! I have four extra test drive cards for the W Hotel - Acura promo. If you think you can use them by 10/15/2012 - pm me your address and I will send them out tomorrow. I am in Chicagoland.
Got them at thw W hotel in the Loop. Then I went to the Acura dealership in Naperville and got the dealer sticker, no problem, no test drive.

While not in the market for a new vehicle right now, when we are, I will be at least visiting another brand in the dealer chain I visited today for the Acura test drive. When I was greeted by a salesman, I explained what I wanted, and he asked the sales manager about the stickers. They couldn't find them, and offered to call me with a code. I left, figuring I'd never hear from them, and was already making plans to visit another dealer. A few minutes later, they did call, with a code from a sticker. I promptly requested my gift card, and have received the confirmation email!

Thanks EmilNomel! I got the card and was successful at Acura and registered it online and decided to take the Starwood pts.
Update: ALL claimed.

Unfortunately, none near the in the West Coast as rival Bass Pro Shops tends to be the market leader in this neck of the woods.
OTOH, are Cabela's gift cards usable online? If so, it might be worth it if you do a lot of outdoorsman shopping (I could use a nice fishing reel!). ^

Went and did it, very easy for a $50 gift card for a retailer which has no stores in CA. Will use it to buy a Shimano fishing reel online. Thanks!

What answers did you give for the questions regarding both contact, e-mail, and purchase timeframe?

I completed one for Mr. Kipper and one for me.
I'm pondering asking my parents if they'll do this, in part because I wouldn't complain about an extra $100 in Cabela's gift cards. Answers I gave were 3-6 months or some such, emails from Chevy, no to dealer contact.

Easy Peasy at Chevy
It was pouring in Chicago today, and the Chevy salesman was happy I didn't want to take a test drive. He typed in my info from the form i printed out, and I received a confirmation email within the hour.
On the form, I said 1-3 months, no to dealer call, yes to email. I think it was a popup offer.
Now I have completed the trifecta of no-drive test drives mentioned on the last pages. I am curious to see who actually sends me a gift card!

There was no pop up. It was above where the form had been once you submitted the form.

This is what appears. I did one for myself. No cigar. I then did one for a relative. Cigar. Not sure why. My answers were the same as kipper, except 7-12 months and e-mails from Cabela ok. I don't remember if I said ok to Cabela e-mails or not for the unsuccessful attempt. I used the same computer. The unsuccessful attempt was last week. The successful attempt was today.
