Default GM "Gift"

Anybody else get the "gift" in the mail? I got a special delivery from FedEx yesterday from GM. Some kind of small book, telling about the car. Came in a nice case but that was about it. Not worth much.

Nothing here. Reminds me of the BMW gifts. Usually either an undersized USB drive or a pen.

I got the pouch as well with my '14. Maybe they have changed the 'gift' for '15?

It can take several months, but it's a nice gift with the pouch and news of GM's contribution toward the school at Spring Mountain. Don't toss it when it comes.

Next month will be one year with my C7....I got ZIPPO...NOTHING. Not even a "thank you" letter.

I don't lose alot of sleep over this, but it is curious why some recieved a gift and others did not.

Mine came about 4 weeks after I bought my '14 vert in late December last year.

Also just got my acknowledgement of my free 1 year NCM membership a few days ago courtesy of Chevrolet.

I think the Dealer has to participate in the program.

I've heard that Mary Barra and Tadge hand select the leather for the pouches, and that takes time because they rarely agree.

Funny timing. I just received my BMW gift (pen) in the mail today. In true BMW form, they've created a very wordy, detailed description of the design process and..... It's a pen.
