Thanks for the heads up. I will be near Valencia mid Jan, hopefully it will still be available.

For 1,000 miles? Sorry, not worth my time. Remember when Jaguar offered 10,000 BA miles for a test drive?

Not as tempting as the 10k mile Buick op from 10 years back but, hey, this is a Mercedes so that should count for something. Still funny though...10k for a Buick and 1k for a Benz.

that just tells ya the effort it will take to sell a Buick vs a Benz ^

This says "Limited Time." Does anyone know how long the offer is good for?

Well... the closest for me is in Valencia, CA !

I'm certainly not going there for 1000 miles. Rather going for dinner and earn a few delicious miles that way (literally).

What a stupid promo. At least Ford and GM had the sense to include all locations when they gave away $75 and $100 visa and amex cards. This will just piss off people like me who are 300 miles from the nearest location.
