• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

No Spyder Welcome package for 2013?

I remember when I purchased my 2008 GS back in 2010 (used), I've got BRP Spyder Welcome package with the Spyder Patch, Spyder books, Poster and etc. I have upgraded to Spyder RT Limited 2013 a few month back (also used but with less then 300 miles on it) but I never received any 'welcome' packages from BRP. Is it something BRP no longer offers ? Did anyone get any welcome packages when they buy Spyder brand new from the dealer ? Just curious.
 
The welcome package program should be alive and well. Usually they ship quarterly. If your purchase has been a couple quarters ago, you should check with your dealer to make sure they registered you.
 
I've got the Spyder late september. I know I am registered with BRP as I've got my B.E.S.T. warranty card from them a while ago and I already replaced one of tail lights by warranty back in October last year. I guess I need to wait more. Its not big of a deal but I was telling some friends of mine who is interested in purchasing Spyder about that Welcome package and I don't want to tell what's not right ;)

thanks for the replies!
 
Let us all know when it shows up; it'll help to keep track of the actual lag-time between the purchase, and the packet! :2thumbs:
 
Time..!!

it takes time. Sometimes it takes the dealer some time to forward the paper work. Then the quarterly mailings from brp kick in. Don't worry it will come.. :thumbup:
 
still waiting

my wife and I got our spyders the first week of September and we haven't seen our welcome packet yet either... we did get our BEST confirmation from Can-am. just waiting on the goodies, if they are going to come.. was kind of excited about that stuff as these are our first spyders

Bought ours Nov 2012. Only thing we've ever received from BRP is gas cap. Even registered on their website and have never received a single email. Not sure who I ticked off at BRP.... :-)

I purchased my new 2013 RT Limited, and yes I did receive a welcome package with patch pin etc.;)

I got my Welcome Package for my new 2013 RT/limited , but no warranty cards for either standard or extended!! When do they come?
 
2012 RTS SM5 Welcome Package

Took Delivery of a new 2012 RTS SM5 from dealer in March 2012 and have only received a gas cap from BRP
Received a package in 2009 after purchasing a new 2009 GS SM5 in 2008. Mileage pins have never been received, also.

You will be sorely dissapointed! A small pin, a decal and a catalog to buy more stuff (spend more money) from BRP. I was almost embarrassed for them. They could take lessons from Harley, Volkswagon, BMW, Mercedes, yes and even Polaris. I waited axiously for 8 weeks for this. ( 2013 RTS SE5) I felt it was Zero gratitude for my purchase compared to my other large purchases in 2013.

Ive never received any sort of welcome package from another manufacturer, even when buying $65,000+ vehicles. I thought it was a pretty cool, although simple gesture. :D

BMW Motorrad sends a nice welcome package and has regular newsletter that goes out. I never owned a Harley-Davidson but my brother does and I have purchased clothing gifts and gift cards from them. I get regular correspondence and information. BRP could take a lesson in building community and marketing. I even get owner newsletters and event information from Buick and VW....from which I purchased vehicles.
