Do you get anything for free or gift cards when you take delivery?

Well, fine, lol, but the question was about swag. Not ‘what standard accessories come with the car’. And that stopped months ago, as I mentioned.

So BMW marked up your car to give you a $50 gift card? This is what I love about credit card points, they aren't free, you are paying for them.

LoL
How is the model 3 not marked up? It’s marked up higher than BMW

I got a free hand crafted LATTE.. that was nice.

I also got the free car model in the center console, even though I wasn't a day one line waiter.

Does getting free rubber floor mats and the phone charger count?

You got rubber floor mats? If so, that definitely counts!

Speak for yourself, I don't pay a penny for my credit card.

You pay multiple pennies for your credit card every single time you buy something. Prices of things are higher due to the credit card surcharges the merchants have to pay. If you don't see a cash/credit price difference then the price is set higher for everybody than it would have been if sales were cash-only.

At this Mobil it's a hundred extra pennies for every 5 gallons of gas.

That is pretty nice. How did you get the free floor mats?

My wife is good at negotiating. lol. She basically said, we have two young kids. The carpet mats are a no go. The SA said, if rubber floor mats is what keeps you from buying, then I will throw those in. haha

She must be very good at negotiating... we also have two young kids, but I figured we didn't have too much leverage considering that they have been sitting on my 1k for 2 years and 2.5k for two months

I dont think I realized i posted in the Model 3 area of the forum. My apologies. I ordered a Model S. Not sure if that was the significance.

Your first point is right, but I disagree with the second one. Credit card rewards are "free" if you are good at managing your credit and don't pay interest on your card. I have a credit card that gives me substantial cash back on restaurants and travel with no annual fee. I've yet to be charged by the bank for anything (checking fees, ATM withdrawal fees, interest on my balance, etc.).

That's exactly my point. The guy thinks he's being smart by trying to imply that credit card rewards arenta free, as he's assuming that everyone carries a balance like he does. Just because he can't afford to pay his card off in full every month doesn't mean everyone else is in the same situation. Jokes on him lol.

PS I got the floor mats for free as well by negotiating with the delivery specialist that just called me so I'm happy now!
