BMW Ultimate Benefits Card

wazzza · 06-24-2014, 01:38 PM

So I received the BMW Ultimate Benefits Card in the mail as a Thank You last week. It mentions some discounts and benefits on the brochure but I was wondering if anyone has some real experience using it. Is it useful at all, or just something that feels special but isn't worth much at all?

Thanks!

I have not used mine yet... but I was impressed with the packaging it came in.

Like an idiot I actually tried to open the paper tray the card was in convinced there was something in there because there was no way in the world they would actually do all that just to send the card.

The one that came with my Macan was less packaging and more goodies, believe it or not. That said I feel like literally everything on the car was an option so I am sure I accidentally checked the box for "enhanced welcome package"

wazzza · 06-24-2014, 02:43 PM

Haha ... sounds as I expected. Can't imagine going to a restaurant, getting the check and asking for a discount because I drive a new BMW. Seems like it should be the other way round

It is kind of crazy how much free shit wealthy people get.

You can see the benefits "partners" via the BMW owner's circle on their web site. The card serves no purpose.

I'm with those who said it's a waste. Pure pandering.

Audi just sent a one year anniversary card for our Q5. Guess I don't have to get my girlfriend an anniversary card now, lol. Thanks Audi! Maybe this shit does serve a purpose.

Hahahaha. Now you planted the idea in Porsche's head....

DanG · 06-25-2014, 03:18 PM

They charge extra for everything and double if you want stuff left off! It's mildly intimidating and annoying at first but honestly I'd prefer as much a la carte customization as possible. This package bullshit where you have to spend $3k on stuff you don't want to get one item you'll use drives me crazy.

mjposner · 06-25-2014, 08:37 PM

Did anyone read the letter....

phoenixbmwlife · 06-25-2014, 09:09 PM

I somehow feel left out since I didn't get one. Even though I know its a waste of paper LOL

Oh it hasn't been a month as yet. My delivery was on the 7th of this month

Might use it to scrape the frost off my windshield this winter. Other than that totally useless.

basiluf · 06-26-2014, 08:29 AM

Just imagine how impressive it would be to the ladies to cut with your BMW card?
