Are the $3,000 Target In Market Retention Certificate Rebates Back for 2013 Models?
I was just on the Kerbeck site seeing if they got anymore 427's delivered and they have just updated their site with the $3,000 Target In Market Retention Certificate (TIMR) rebate and listed them on all 2013's. Is Chevrolet back sending out these rebates? If so, I hope I get one so I can get off the sideline and get one in my garage.

You may already know this, but to qualify for one of those rebates your name has to be on a GM manifest list. Any dealer (or GM Customer Service) can look to see if you are on the list. You can't request to be put on the list. If you aren't listed, you don't qualify...period.

I have received one each of the past two years for up to $3000 for a Corvette. I wasn't considering a purchase then because I had just purchased two 2010 Chevys. I am now looking to buy a vette in the fall, so I am anxious to see what the mailman brings. Hopefully, I am still on the list!

Do they send you something when you're on the list or do you have to ask? Guess I don't understand this in market retention or how you end up on the list...

These are called private offers and I think should remain, private and not make a person that does not get one feel bad.
They are limited….I check everyone to see if they are on the list, but I am getting 10-15% on it….so again why talk about it as it is something everyone gets, because it is not.
Our focus is to give you the best value possible, if there is extra, then that is a win, don’t let this very skewed program loose site of the great 2012’s and 2013’s we have to offer. Soon, they will be gone

They send a brochure type mailing with a certificate number and the allowances for each model. I am counting on getting another, though I have no idea why I got the first two. It may have something to do with having purchased seven new Chevy's in the past ten years.

That’s the issue, you cannot call and get on the list, nobody can issue you a coupon, a separate marketing division determines this….it rotates, so if you have one now, chances are you will not in the next wave. My only guess is they go by vehicle registrations…..

I got someting like this relating to my GM card. It listed $3000 for a 2012 Corvette on top of my gm earnings. Expired on the 2nd before I was ready to buy. I've gotten these before though. Maybe I'll get another? Sounds like the in market retention coupon is similar but what I got is different?

This one was more than just a top off. Said "your earnings + up to $3k in bonus earnings, which was $3k for the Corvette + most current offers." This stuff added up to about $11.5k for me. I've been kicking myself for not doing something, but I just wasn't ready at the time. I try to look at it positively. I don't have a new Corvette but I don't have a $600 car payment either I suppose...

Here's how I got my name on the list and a $3000 private offer sent to my house. I asked for it. Yes, I e-mailed Chevrolet customer service and told them I wanted to buy a new 2012 GS but it was just a little out of my reach, and the 3000 would enable me to buy their fine car . About 2 weeks later I received a coupon in the mail for $3000, and when I went to the local dealer he said my name appeared on the manifest. I had not bought a new GM product since my 1980 Vette.
I would just e-mail customer service again if I wanted to buy a 2013.

Dear Mr. Green,
Thank you for contacting Chevrolet and for showing an interest in the 2012 Corvette GS and Corvette Z06! I appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your request. I attempted to contact you by phone but was unable to reach you.
Whenever GM has special promotions such as the Targeted in Market Retention (TIRP) offer available, we carefully screen the customer database to make sure the appropriate offers are extended to our customers based on specific criteria. Based on what the database tells us, we then target the customers it identifies. This could result in one customer receiving an offer while another may not. I checked the list of eligible customers and did not find your name. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, but we are unable to extend this offer to customers who were not originally selected. I have updated your information in our system, and if you fall within the criteria of any future promotions, you will be notified by GM. Programs are subject to potential changes, however, the most up-to-date information we have available states that the TIRP offer ends September 4, 2012.
I would like to assist you in finding offers that you may be eligible for. The following offers are available for the purchase of a 2012 Corvette GS and Corvette Z06:

There is an alternative offer, if the customer is not interested in Chevys Love It or Return It Guarantee. In lieu of Chevys Love It or Return It Guarantee, the customer can elect a $500 cash incentive on most 2012 and 2013 Chevrolet models ($250 on Sonic and Spark) at the time of vehicle purchase.
