Default A gift from Honda of America

I got a gift card from Honda of America a few days ago for $129. They said I could use it for whatever at any of the dealers. It looks like a debit card but it says Honda. I am just wondering why I got that. They said it is for being a loyal Honda Owner? Weird Huh? What should I get for my 98 Civic HB?

Extra set of spark plugs.
5 quarts of Honda MTF.
A Honda Optional Equipment T-shirt.

He probably bought his new......I own two hondas as well. One was bought last April from the dealer (used certified) but still was this year......rofl.

MTF costs about 6 bux a quart.....oh and it takes two per change so get 6.

Oh yeah, I did buy mine new. I understand that they sent them to their customers. My only question is why, and who else got one. Some of you guys are very negative. $129 is still $129, you can still add more money and consider it as $129 off. BTW, I already have the chin spoiler, I agree though... I like it.

get the itr rear sway bar with the bushings and d brackets. that would be under $100. you still have to buy the beaks kit, but the itr rear bar and si front sway bar is a great combo.

It's only redeemable at a Honda dealer right? Not like a Visa card but a Honda Gift card.

Honestly, it looks like a VISA type card but smaller with a magnetic barcode strip in the back, and id numbers. It also has a imprint of Bank of America on the back.
I think that it can be used ANYWHERE, but the card says that I must follow the guidelines supplied with the card, and HONDA supplied that part

My last three cars were Hondas, bought new, and I never got anything like that;
(a recall notice once about a possible malfunction in the wiper motor is about it).
But, as I've read here, it's really a cruel joke: you won't get much from the dealer-
ship with that kinda' cash. But still...you can get a few things that aren't "high" on
your wishlist. Read the fine print, though...it might say something like: "only good with
the purchase of a new Honda".

Order a Helms manual for your car. Then send me the card for making your life easier for you.
