-Offer valid at participating dealers until 04/30 or while supplies last.
-Must be at least 21 years old
-Must own or lease a non-GM car from 2004 or newer.

It says not redeemable for cash but that makes me laugh. Clearly they don’t have a Bluebird card, EvolveMoney account, and have never heard of money orders 😉

Do they have a way to know if I own a car?

Menachem

How do i know what dealers are participating?

Dan

@Meir:
They could ask for registration I suppose.

@Menachem:
Call and ask your local dealer?

Is there a way to see on the site if a specific dealer is participating?

Enjoy guys.. I’d love to see the Lakewood dealership tomorrow

hdawg

anyone ever have luck actually getting these before? we dont need to run our credit and be serious about getting a car do we?

PBaruch

Yay – worked. Does anyone know if these dealers will want to run your credit before letting you do the test drive? Some years back there was a similar Ford offer and the sales rep said he didn’t want to bother running my credit if I was just there for the GC. He ultimately gave me the GC without the test drive.

Anonymous

Worked for me got an email they will contact me within a few days

Dan

I’ve done these before and never had to give my SSN or have my credit checked to participate.

Golds

Ok, I called and the dealer said to try again. I decided to try it “incognito” and it worked!

anonymous

@Menachem & @Buruch – plug in your zip code and check the dealer that is listed. If it has Test Drive Offer, they should be participating.

PBaruch

Thanks Dan! I’m going to test drive the 556 hp Supercharged CTS-V. May not wanna get back into my minivan afterwards.

Meghan

what does doing it “icognito” mean?

Mendy

Called up they said don’t need to own car.

Plato

Are there any ethical issues to take into account here? I have absolutely no intention of getting a new car. Are they expecting that but want me to test drive anyways so they can try and entice me? Or is this aimed at people who are actually on the market for a new car?

(Goody good, I know. But as a business owner myself I can relate and am extra sensitive with these things)

Could we book two locations and get $200?? Or more??!

DAN! THATS DISGUSTING! Do you really think g-d only likes cadillac? Why are you publishing that only cadillac are giving 100$???!

@aw, you are such a pess!!!!! I can’t believe there are people out there who only see everything as WRONG AND BAD!!! Go dig up a smile!!!

G.

It worked on my phone, yay!!! thank Dan!

checked

I just spoke to the dealer and was told that u have to come down and they do a credit check first to see if u qualify.
I don’t think its worth a hard pull (especially if u wont qualify)

Anonymous

@Anonymous: No because you need a PIN to get it on Bluebird but they can be cashed out via Amazon Payments. Use dan’s trick and put in the wrong exp date when you first out the card so you won’t have a $1 hold on the card.

Passing it up...

I would love to take advantage of this offer, but living in a highly DD area (Monsey) I can’t imagine the feeling of walking in there and the guys to say “here’s another guy that came for the $100..”

Sara

Thank you dan It worked! Now what. I got an email that they will be calling me soon. Do I have to really be buying a car? What do I need to tell them

leah c

did anyone get email confirmation…it looks like it worked on my phone, but didn’t get email

CHANA

I have done test drives before, there should be a form that you need to bring in. There is nothing mentioned here in the email they send out. This seems like a phishing.

Josh

For how long do they give you to test drive?

eli

@aw: Thanks for the laugh!!

steve

@leah c:

this is the response I received

Those people who are interested in buying a vehicle will have to fill out an application for a credit check.

Do you need to run a credit check? Maybe 5pm today

What time can we expect you so I can have a sales rep ready?

Hello Mr.

We have some certain requirements when it comes down to the gift card. You need to have a current Driver's License, current proof of Insurance, and a proof of registration of a non-GM Vehicle.

Is there a specific day you could come in to test drive the vehicle?

@steve:
Correct, you can test drive without a credit check.
But if you actually want to buy it they check your credit.

got my email. they’ll contact me in a few days. Thanks Dan!

is the offer 1 per household or each driver can participate?

confirmed. going today… thanks Dan

Found this info on this deal-

* TEST DRIVE OFFER: During The Cadillac Spring Event, current non-GM owners and lessees can test drive a new 2014 Cadillac and get a $100 Visa® Prepaid Card. At participating dealers only. Offer valid while supplies last or until 3/31/14. Must show proof of ownership of a 2004 or newer non-GM vehicle. Must be 21 years of age with valid driver’s license, and proof of insurance. Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Offer is not transferable, nonnegotiable and not redeemable for cash. Allow at least 30 minutes for your vehicle orientation, test drive, and $100 Visa Card registration. See http://www.gmdisclaimer.com [gmdisclaimer.com] for complete rules and details.
So looks like you need registration and proof of insurance

yuneeq

In n’ out in 5 minutes. Even though I was the first one to come for the test drive, the guy knew exactly what was about to hit.

Asked if I really wanted to drive the car, and if not, just let’s not waste our time. GC arriving in 2 weeks 🙂

E

Are they strict about car after 2004? Mine is a 2000. Yes I drive of to death!

Why Dan Why

At least we’re not reinforcing any stereotypes here

steve

@yuneeq:

good stuff

Dan is the Man

Yet another nauseating display of how low Dan and all of his ignorant, sleazy, cheating, follower’s will go.

Vomitus!

Howie

I signed up ( took about 5 tries before I was able to get thru) and receieved an cover e-mail from GM, then the dealer,, what else is supposed to happen ?
I emailed the dealer but waiting,,,

sky121

@Dan is the Man: For someone who so clearly hates this site you sure do spend a lot of time here. Nothing more productive to do, eh?

Lyla

Thanks Dan. It worked on my iPad I got a confirmation email that my request was sent to my dealer and they will contact me. I did not get a form for the gift card. Will I get the form from the dealer after I take the test drive?

mike

I put in 2 different addresses with the same name and different email and it went through and was successfully submitted. Hopefully, I can do 2 for $200. If anyone else wants to try do it 🙂

mendy

Will they be strict if you’r not over 21?

Thenewguy

@<a @Dan is the Man: interesting choice of title names for a dansdeals hater

@mike: now THATS not honest

Hi

I signed up but I dont see test drive certificate.

Do I need to have test drive certificate for 100 $ visa ?

Gary72

Did not work on Firefox, but no problem on IE…

Jack

Hello

I submitted the form. Do we get test drive certificate for 100 $ visa ?

Lone Star

got it

mike

@Thenewguy:

I don’t think these dealers are ever honest about a fair price either, you don’t see them still not taking advantage of people who are easily tricked into signing deals.

Scotchy88

If you are having problems with the great (Free!) service that Dan provides, please either refrain from submitting your negative comments or don’t frequent this site and unsubscribe from dansdeals. Haters to the left (Kenneth-“30 rock”)

Rich

There is a halacha about acting as though you are interested in purchasing something, when in fact you are not. I’m all for free stuff, but if you are not at all interested in buying a Cadillac, this seems fraudulent to me. Not becoming to the standard of an observant Jew. Only you can make that call.

Steven

@Dan i did this last time with Lincoln and never got a dime. its a scam.

Mike

I’m actually looking to buy/lease a car in Jun-Aug now I’m getting paid to go check out a possible car option.
Anyone else in the market for a car?

@Steven: I did it then also and had to fight with them for a few months but finally got it

the request didnt go through firefox. it worked in IE in a second.

for all the people looking to be super honest. . .
i did a test drive a few years ago and told the guy
i just wanted to test drive but had no intention
of purchasing any time soon, he had no problem with it.

proud Dansdealer

@Dan is the Man:

You my friend are a jerk. If you don’t like Dan or all of us sleazy people then stay off the site. No one said you had to participate. Keep your negative comments to yourself. Dan posted a promotion that Cadillac is running, I’m sure they know 98% of the people are not interested but it’s worth it for them for the 2% that may be after driving the car.

Anonymous

I went in today. Guy said are u interested in the car at all . I said no and we filled out form for gift card . Will arrive in a few weeks . Whole thing took 5 min

joel

Was by a dealer and he asked me what car I am driving now told him a sienna, he told me it’s a big different. I told him that I wanna do a test drive, like that I will know what’s the difference, so maybe when I will afford it I will think about caddilac.
BTW it’s a very stupid marketing idea, do they really thing somebody who can afford it will decide a cadillac vs lexus based on a $100 Gift card.

Jeff

I wouldn’t try this in a DD area either because it could be a Chillul Hashem if many people come show up at a dealer and they ask if they are interested in the car at all and the answer is no by all those people. Even in a non DD area of course it would be ethical to inform the salesman if you are totally uninterested in buying or leasing a Cadillac. It is widely known that most people that come in for these offers, come in ONLY for the offer.

Dave

I think its a massive Chillul Hashem to have hoards of Jews filling these dealerships. How do you think this looks to the outside world. These are the reasons we are hated. Fair or not, we are being judged wherever we go. Although you are following the guidelines of the offer, it looks bad for our people! Just my opinion, not claiming to know it all.

meyer

has anyone gotten a confirmation email after the “test drive”?

Barbara

Dan, Called mahwah nj location, they said come right in, but need proof on registration of ownership! Not leasing of car. Can I get around thus? My car leased.

Dan

@Barbara:
The website clearly says for owner or lessees.

Monseyman

Done! Was honest, sales rep asked if I’m here for gc or test drive, and had no problem with me honestly saying just gc. Thanks Dan!

EMBARRASSED

Thats great Monseyman!
Youre an honest fellow, but you’re casting a bad light on my people. If you all want to open and close 7,000 credit cards, go right ahead. But when you walk into a dealership with a black hat and your tzizzus hanging out asking for $100, you make us all look bad. When are you going to learn?

savta

thanks a lot Dan as always I went in with my husband no problem They asked if we had a trade in I said no . The man asked are u here for the money? and I answered truth be told yes . Just fill out the form and off u go !!!!The dealership is not giving out the money. as a matter of fact the dealership says it costs us money to send u on a test drive so if u aren”t interested in purchasing a car just fill out the form

Kippah Guy

Apropos of my conscience, @Rich, and others, I didn’t want to be deceptive. I was going to make sure I didn’t give the impression that I might buy. I was still nervous about going in to the dealership wearing a yarmulke — until I met the dealer who’d emailed me and found that *he* was wearing one!

someone

has anyone got the $100 prepaid card in the mail yet?

lyla

Got my gift card in the mail today.

Sola

I got my prepaid Visa today. To my pleasant surprise, it earns 5% back at Staples, Lowes, CVS, and others, which gets added back to the card balance, for a total value of $105.26.

tony c

Dan,

Any trip notes to the dealer for your gc? Pls share.

ari

Just got $20 credit. Thanks Dan!

Peretz770

Gift card arrived in the mail today. Yasher koach Dan!

ari

For all those ppl saying oh its not honest ….u cant go bc u really dont want to buy the car …… I have news for u cadillac dosnt giv a ..boo… if u r interested in buying a car or not they r giving the gift gladly its a way of marketing that tons of ppl should come even anybody…even somebody that doesn’t need a car and like that out of every 100 ppl thay make a sale so if u go even just bc u want the $100 gift card u r doing them a favor

yaks

@ari
Yup! told the sales guy chances of my next car being a Cadillac are basically zero and if anything it would be a toyota or Nissan. he told that’s exactly why they do the gift cards to try to change our minds.

savta

thank you received my gift card I was not at all hassled about the gift card you bring in your license and car registration

efraim

I did this a few weeks ago, made appointment online and went down to local dealer (in brooklyn that’s on Kings Highway & East 50th) whole thing took about 30 min and my gift card came in mail 3 weeks later.
No credit check or anything, just be polite and bring your registration. once the gift card comes in the mail just unsubscribe from their annoying emails
Thanks Dan 🙂

efraim

@Barbara

My car is leased, as long as the registration is in your name you’ll be fine. it worked for me

YIS1

I made an online apptment with a dealer listed as participating (Baltimore area).. But the rep called and told me they’re no longer participating, “because last month about 120 people came in for the GC and not one bought a car”. (He also said they split the cost 50/50 with Cadillac corporate)
Since I’m guessing many of the 120 were frum (yes Balto has more than 120 frum people even though we’re not in Monsey or Lakewood (lol), I opted not to pursue it further with other dealerships. Just a personal choice, not a value judgement.

Jerseyboy

Will the deal work if the registration is under my fathers name?

MaaYanky

Took 10min and done! 🙂
Almost as easy and rewarding as PGGM x6 for the time spent 😉

Jeff

I didn’t get my gift card. Who is responsible to send it ? The dealer or Cadillac ?
