Rebate from BMW club

Does anybody know if the rebate for joining the BMW club still applies? I did get it last year on my 2020 X5. But I'm not sure if I can get it again on my 2021?

I took delivery of 2021 45e on 12/14 and submitted the BMW CCA rebate request on 12/15. I just checked status and seeing it showing "Approved by BMW CCA - Pending approval and payment by BMW NA"

FWIW, the processing and approval seems much faster this time compared to when I submitted for the rebate on my previous 2019 40i 18 months ago...

It's one reward per calendar year (1/1 through 12/31) and no lapse in membership during that 12-month period so you should be fine. Just submit the rebate request online with digital copies of my lease agreement contract and odometer reading.

I hadn't read all the fine print and didn't realize the 1 reward/year limitation. Thanks for that heads up!

I agree. The rebate when I took delivery of my 2019 X3 M40i in August of 2018 took about 2 months.
The rebate for my 2021 X5MC took 18 days.

I got the e-mail back from the CCA right away that the paperwork was in order. It did mention that BMW was being slow about sending checks, but that's good to hear I might get it fast.

I got the same email. It mentioned that it has been taking 3 months, sometimes longer. Certainly wasn't the case this time for me.

Sent it off yesterday. I believe that this is a deal that most new car buyers never know about.

questions:

• does rebate only apply if membership purchase is 3 years or longer?

• please clarify there is a 6-month wait after new membership to apply for the rebate?

• (1) rebate per person per calendar year? what if we have two owners, 2 separate memberships, but same household?

• my wife took a 540i lease in Feb 2020. I purchased my X5 in Dec 2020. can we each get a rebate?

No, you can purchase a 1 year membership but you'd have to wait for a full year membership to be eligible to apply for a vehicle rebate.

For new memberships purchased after Dec 31, 2019, individuals who purchase a three-year or longer membership are be required to wait six months before taking delivery of a new BMW and applying for the rebate.

Yes, it is 1 rebate per person per calendar year (1/1 through 12/31)

Two owners as in both of your names on a lease/finance contract? Eg applicant and co-applicant?

Regarding 2 separate members, two completely separate CCA memberships and not a CCA member with associate member?

We're you both CCA members before Dec 31, 2019 and CCA memberships did not lapse during a 12-month period?

Did you sign up as new members after Dec 31, 2019? Then the 540i would not be eligible and only the X5.

BMW rebate application for U.S. deliveries must be completed in its entirety and postmarked within 60 days of delivery date.

No better time now than to join! I've been a member for over 20 years and the National Capital Chapter (NCC) has a great and active community.

Even if you join only for the rebate, it's allowed for a lot of other cool events to go to. Used to get early access to the NY auto show (well, not in 2020 of course and not in 2019 either since they stopped exhibiting at most shows), but a lot of other cool opportunities. In the Northeast, I've been to the vehicle distribution center for like 8 years in row (well, not, for 2020 again).

Plus getting a nice $1,000 check is cool too.

I submitted mine 12/15/20 or so. I hope I get mine any day then instead of the 2 more months I was expecting. I got my license plates today.

Submitted mine on 12/18, heard back from the CCA the same day. My guess is that BMW was trying to get all of the bad news out of the way this year, since that is lightning fast for a BMW rebate. I won't be surprised seeing the bloodbath last year that I'll get the check very soon with it dated 12/31/2020.

Bought my car on 11/10/20, submitted to BMW CCA on 11/19/20, received an email back on 11/20/20 with this info:

“ It has been taking three months (sometimes longer) for BMW NA to process each rebate. If you have not received anything by three months from the processing month please contact us back at this email address with your name and VIN so we can update you on the status of your application. You can also view your rebate status at any time by logging in at www.bmwcca.org.”

No sign of a check yet.

I took delivery of my '21 X5 in mid-November, submitted BMWCCA rebate request shortly after and had a check in mid-December. I also received an email stating it could take 3 months. I actually received the check before BMWFS could refund the MSDs on my previous lease.

Just one data point here, but I filled out the online form on Feb 1. Check in hand (and cashed) on Feb 8.

I was shocked at how fast it took from beginning to end.
