Default BMW CCA "Membership Reward"?

The BMW CCA (Car Club of America) claims that they'll
give a reward ($$$) if you buy a new or CPO BMW from
a dealer.

Older versions of this reward (as found in old 'Roundel'
magazines) actually listed amounts (eg, $1500 for a Z3),
but the newer ads are vague.

Have any of you actually collected on this?
It sounds too good to be true.

Thanks in advance.

Here are the amounts:

So a CPO BMW car of model gets you $500.

Yes, it is definitely "for real."

I have collected on this 3 times in the past 7 years. Last time was April
2004 when I received a $ 1000.00 rebate check for our 545 purchase. To my
knowledge the rebates are still at the same levels....500 for 3, 1000 for 5
and 1500 for 7, I don't know the levels for the Z or X cars, M cars follow
the same as above.

By the way the rebate isn't just for purchases, you get them if you lease as
well. And the rebate does not come from BMWCCA....it comes directly from
BMWNA. BMWCCA just administers the program, the check is cut by BMW
themselves.

The eligibility description in the link is subject to several
interpretations.

Is it correct that you must be a member of the club for a full year BEFORE
you can take advantage of the discounts?

I collected $500.00 for my Z4. But Ted should understand that you must be a
member for at least one year prior to purchase to get the rebate. As others
have pointed out, the Roundel subscription alone is worth the annual dues -
to say nothing of the 10-20% discounts offered by many dealers & others.

Unequivocally yes.

It is the best accessory that you can put in a new BMW. The now $40 saves
with rebates and discounts. There are driving schools, social events and
more. Also one very good magazine.

Yep, $1000 rebate on an 03 5 series. You must be a member for at least a
year and you get a max of one reward per year. Given by BMWNA to BMWCCA
members.
