    Default BRP "Welcome To The Family" Package Arrived today

    A special package was delivered today from the Bombardier family.
    Hey all, this is actually a pretty cool surprise. I had not expected it, and had believed it was only for you elite RT, RT-S Ryder's. But evidently I was mistaken.
    In it, the embroidered cloth patch is very nice, & the two pin backed lacquer button is even nicer. It will be fun to hand someone asking questions, one of the Spyder explanation cards they included in this Spyder welcoming committee package.
    Ah, but what took me completely off guard, and pleased most about, is the $50.00 gift card!!
    That will pay for my 12 volt power adapter outlet... SWEET

    And here I thought they at BRP had forgotten about me... ;-) Well Done, like my steak.
    Thanks again Can Am... Hahahaha, this was unexpected but mucho gracias appreciated.

    Another parts catalog too, great, I have nearly wore out my first copy.

    I feel better now...got my 2014 RT Limited's welcome packet today in the mail in August!

    Purchased my 2014 on January 23, 2014

    Received welcome packet August 4, 2014 ????????? hmmmmmmmm???

    Only took BRP 6 months 11 days to get it to me -- now that's customer service!


    When I bought our 2012 RT Limited, I think it only took a couple of months.

    Speechless...............

    BTW: NO $50 gift card ....You made me look again!
    Happy and safe rydin'

    Or you may receive several at once. ;-)

    Gosh, with the $50 gift card, and the regular 10% discount, the 12volt power adaptor and a USB charge unit, only cost me $11. Happy days...

    I think it's only a special offer for thee gifted ones. I feel good about that too.
    As I was not expecting anything, at all. Figured it was an elite segment of the Spyder community that would be granted special status. Oh well, we are considered future RT buyers and are also great ambassadors for their awesome. BRP products.

    Actually there was a survey that was filled out, with a chance to win $5,000. But I never expected a credit, for answering a few simple questions about customer service at the Can Am dealerships. I suppose it does pay, to spend a few moments sharing your intimate thoughts.

    The patch and pin will both be worn with pride.
    So will my 5,000, 25,000 and 100,000 kilometer pins.

    Like the Rabbi said, "It won't be long now!" Hahaha only one small slice of history.

    Just hang in there a bit longer if you can, & when the parcel arrives, Surprise... ;-)

    I wear my owner pin on my jacket collar. Looks great too...
    Still need to find a place for the lovely embroidered patch.

    I got my "Welcome to the Family" Packet today(Oct. 10,2014) in the mail from BRP, I bought my spyder on July 30,2014. WOHOO. Only 2 months and 10 days of waiting.

    I did not get a $50.00 gas card, but I got a 2014 Riding Gear/Accessories/ Genuine Parts catalog with a patch/pin. I got cards to hand out to people, and a Congratulations letter. Last month I did get my BRP Extended Service (B.E.S.T WARRANTY)


    Bob, I bet you will be getting your "Welcome to the Family" Packet in the mail soon I. Thanks BRP!

    I need to open it to see if I got a gift card.

    Went to Can-Am bike night last weekend and won 1st place.....a $100 gift card for the dealership. Since it was bike night they had discounts on everything so now I have about 5 nice Can Am shirts, very nice deal for me.
