You don't need a coupon for the Spring Mountain track discount. All they need is your VIN. Call Spring Mountain and sign yourself up.

I received the leather bound book, but it had orange peel, so it is now at a local paint shop being wet-sanded and repainted.

I received two Corvette history books (last 60 Years but no C7 stuff), an extra fuel fill adapter, and that leather pouch that my wife put someplace around here

They should give all of you an extended warranty given all of the problems with the C7. They could put it in the leather binder for you. Or they could download the extended warranty into the iPad you didn't get. Just saying.

They are no longer giving the leather case for the 2016 models. The price of cars are going up, quality going down and loyalty being forgotten.

Is there really an expectation that we should get "something" from Corvette for purchasing the car? Last I looked in the dictionary the definition of "gift" was: something voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation

Come on folks -- if we are feeling entitled, we can certainly feel entitled about getting gifts of a lot higher value some much larger organizations.

So it's ok with you if somebody charges you more and gives you less than previous customers?

I have a FedEx coming today from Epsilon marketing. I'm pretty sure that's one of GM's marketing agencies. The senders remarks got cut off but it says; 'Congratulations on the purchase of your new Co'. Lol. I guess I'll find out today!

It's considered a gift. A gift isn't equitable IMO. It's at the whim of the giver and we are not talking about anything of substantial value that is more than a gesture of good will. If my kids complained about "equitable" Xmas gifts, I would tell them they are not going to get anymore XMas gifts. If this "gift" was something that was on the window sticker and we didn't get it, then that is a different conversation. I'm trying to not feel entitled.

Bought mine off the lot in November of 2013 from Kerbeck and received the "gift", which is nice for my tablet, in early 2014.

I got a box that probably cost more than the sleeve to make, a book, letter and Ron Fellows invite. It's pretty slick, I'm happy.

Sent a PM to Chevy Customer Service. I included a link to this thread and they have opened a formal case submission.

Will let you guys know if I get a response and any resolution.

The last decent "gift" I got was when I bought my '06.
They sent this nice personalized glass plaque...




With my '11 GS they sent the leather bound book similar to what has been shown for the C7...

They also used to give you a subscription to a magazine - what ever happened to that?

I notice that the personalized glass plaque is signed by your sales consultant. That's a real treasure.
