BMWCCA Rebate Changes Starting 1/1/20! Important Notes For Those Waiting Delivery...
I emailed BMWCCA today about their rebate program that many of us used or plan to use. I will take delivery of my X5 in Q1 of 2020 and planned on joining BMWCCA for the rebate. I was informed that you CANNOT get the rebate instantly anymore with a 3 year membership. Now, you have to do the 3 year membership AND have joined 6 months prior to taking delivery. This will go into effect starting January 2020. Way to screw over loyal customers BMWCCA.

All this will do is create bad sentiment toward BMWCCA and discourage new owners from joining. I am getting the message loud and clear. They don’t want me to join and therefore I won’t. The funny thing is that I am “loyal” enough by BMW standards to receive the loyalty credit. |

Can’t argue that. It is a classless thing to do with zero warning. They could have given 6 months in 2020 for the rules change to take affect so people could adjust. If I knew this 6 months ago, I would have rejoined knowing my plans. I played by their rules and then they changed those rules.

It won’t affect whether I enjoy the vehicle. I am super excited about it, but that was not right to do without warning especially since I ordered while the current rules were in place. I have no say whatsoever on when they will deliver.

Just over a year ago you had to be a member in good standing for 12 months before you could get the rebate, then last year they added the stipulation that you could buy the 3 year and instantly qualify, must have been too many rebates paid out because of that so they are going to 6 months.

Does anyone know if prior membership counts towards the 6 months? I was a member for years before signing back up again. My join date shows 2008 on my account profile

NEW UPDATE: Purchase a three-year membership or longer, and immediately meet the membership qualification for the Membership Reward Rebate Program! If people bought the membership today based on the above, how can they change the terms suddenly? They would have to put a stop to the program by stating "Anyone who buys the membership after Jan 1st will no longer be eligible for the rebate immediately". There has to be a proper cut off. |

I got two rebates this year with two new BMW purchases. The first one was when I purchased my X5 this time last year. It took 3 months to get the first check and 3 weeks for the second rebate check this summer from my M2C purchase. The club is worthy to join regardless of the rebates.

I ordered but won’t take delivery until early February. I just joined and took screenshots of the language on the site in case they deny the rebate when I submit.

if a $1000 rebate is the breaking point or a big issue then maybe don't buy one? I get it, they did something rather shady (BMW NA) but I'd expect nothing less, even so I'm still a BMWCCA member and enjoy the brand as a whole. I got my membership a while before this BMW. I know a lot of people are doing what you're describing so maybe BMW is catching on or trying to get member count up. Either way I get being annoyed but not much can be done unfortunately.
