The club membership has classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles as well as cars just off the dealer lot. Everyone's welcome.

Join the Mercedes-Benz Club NOW and get a gift card valued between $250 and $1500 when you buy your next new or pre owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The only catch is… you must be a club member for one year before you’re eligible for the allowance. It only costs $45 for a one year membership, trust me, it’s worth it.

You’ll get your local regional newsletter as well as the national publication “The Star” magazine, published and sent to your home monthly. It’s no little ‘newsletter’ it’s a real, live magazine, and thick too! Of course, there are driving events, technical events, all sorts of fun.

What are car clubs good for anyway? I’ve been a member of several of them over the years. I grew up attending car club events with my dad on the weekends.

He always told me that when you get a car, he was usually talking about an old English car, you join the related club. He often preached joining the club BEFORE you get the car, as the club, and club members are usually the best source of information on that particular marque. 

Club members know what’s good and what’s bad, they know about that gem of a car hidden away somewhere that you’d never find unless a club member told you about it.

Now I’m a member of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America, Twin Cities Section. The Mercedes-Benz rewards loyal MBCA club members who purchase or lease new or pre owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles from dealers handsomely.

Depending on what you buy or lease and where you buy, Mercedes-Benz will send you a gift card between $250 and $1500. Please read the details below. It’s very simple… do the math.. if you think you’re going to buy a new car anytime soon… join the club now. Even if you’re a member for three years before you buy a new Mercedes-Benz… you’ve spent less than $150 to get $1500.

At the very bottom there is a link to a PDF file with ALL the associated information. It really is easy, you dont have to jump through hoops. They treat Mercedes-Benz Club of America members very well, and they reward their brand loyalty.

You may be eligible to receive the following gift card allowance towards parts, service and accessories at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. This offer is based on the purchased or lease of a new or pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle through an authorized U.S. Mercedes-Benz dealer or on the purchase of a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz at a licensed independent U.S. dealership.

An MBCA membership of one year or more immediately preceding the purchase date of the vehicle is required to participate in this program. An MBCA member in good standing cannot have had any lapse in membership during that 12-month period.

When you buy from an authorized U.S. Mercedes-Benz dealer:
All new models including AMG MY ’09, ’10: $1500

 2010 MBCA Loyalty Reward gift cards are redeemable towards parts, service, personal accessories and vehicle accessories at any authorized U.S. Mercedes-Benz dealership, including the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Irvine, California.
