    Default $2,000 Rebate

    I'm pissed I have been talking to BRP about my $2,000 rebate and they told me today that only certain people are getting it. There is no rhyme or reason to this. It's just random.
    I asked to speak to a supervisor and they said that a supervisor can not help me and refused to let me speak to one.
    I don't get it! What does it take to be treated fairly? I bought a brand new Spyder and traded in my old one.
    If any body on here is looking to purchase a new Spyder and they tell you about rebates make sure they like you're money compared to somebody elses.

    Shouldn't matter if its your first, third, or tenth Spyder. If a rebate is being advertised, everyone should get it. It's called equality.

    I got the rebate...but I am not buying a 2018. And of course--it is not transferable--or I would gladly have given it to one in need.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Nobody mentioned that it had to be "equal"...
    Perhaps they were rewarding purchasers of more than one or two Spyders??

    I don't know what their criteria was for selection: ask your dealer about it.

    I'm hoping. I don't understand how they could reward some and not others.
    Could it be me? The Dealership?
    I just don't understand.

    This is what I have been posting to other blogs and facebook:

    Just want all of you to be aware of the way BRP appreciates us. They are giving a $2,000 rebate to anyone that purchased a 2018 Spyder. I have been talking to BRP about my rebate for a couple of weeks and they informed me today that I'm not eligible. The reason is, is that they are only giving it to certain people and some get it and some do not. They said it was a lottery if your name got picked you get it and if not no and there is no way to override that decision. They would not even let me speak to a supervisor

    You would think with low sales you would want to keep your customers happy.
    Does this mean that if I need service that only some people get service and some are told to go to Honda or some other company?

    I don’t get it. I got the email for the rebate too, but I bought my 2017 RTL last September. I have no desire to trade in my spyder. I just got it farkled up (well. Ok, still farkling)! Wish i could give the rebate to someone who wants it.

    I would guess that the rebate was generated from the BRP website, and sent out electronically via email.

    I received one and I bought my RT used, but I do use the BRP site quite often. Therefore I don't believe that it has anything to do with how many New Spyders you purchased in the past.

    I think that they are using one of those spy computers that we see in the movies that watch everyone and read your mind and folloow your movements in order to entrap you.

    Seriously, you want equality, give me a break you live in a free country, or most of us do or did, if you want equality move to Cuba, the Doctor and the street sweeper make the same salary.

    Agreed, if I could use it on a new 2016 I'd have bought it already.

    Stefan,
    It seems that they're at least trying to work something out for you: why keep biting the hand that might just have something for you?
    Let it get sorted out, and please let us know about the outcome!

    Bob they are reaching out to me because I made this public. They are sending these to people that bought a 2017 but they did not send it to someone that bought a 2018 and that's who the program is for.
    I was told by customer service that it's a raffle and I didn't win. (that's exactly what they said)
    Makes me feel welcome to the BRP family. I used to tell people how much I like my Spyder, now I will only tell them about this.

    Not sure what the deal is and not to rub salt in the wound, but I bought a 2016 RTL last may and have gotten the $2,000 email. I also received a follow up email 2 days ago asking me if I miss the offer. I like other wish we could pass them on.

    Default I too got the rebate offer, and just tossed it in the trash.

    Why would $2000.00 entice me to buy a 2018 when I bought my 2016 F3T in 2017? That amount would not even come close to paying back the depreciation on my 2016.

    On the other hand if I was looking to buy a 2018 I too would be upset that I did not get the $2000.00.

    I know when I bought my 2016 there was a rebate on it, and I just had the dealer apply it towards the down payment. I did not have to bother filling out the paperwork, and never saw it other than listed on the sales contract.
    Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired
