AFAIK everyone got the extended warranty (that was under the recall)... folks who already had one got the gift card.

(and a few folks claim they got both I think?)

The 'extension' actually added no time to the warranty at all, but moved it from 70k to 100k miles.

Does this matter if I picked up my car 3 days ago?
Should I call my dealership?

Whats the best way to get money out of the $500 giftcard. Meaning i can't sell it so whats the best thing to buy with it and turn around to sell.

You could find someone who wants to spend the $, buy stuff and ship to them... maybe give em a 5-10% discount and still get decent cash out.


Easier than trying to buy something then ebay it, because between the lower price you'd have to ebay it for, plus the ebay fees, you're likely gonna lose more than 5-10% anyway.

You need to call 1-800-25-LEXUS and give them your VIN number and information. Do not assume that because you didn't get a GC, that it means that your aren't entitled to a GC. Call them and they will tell you if it is owed to you.

Does anyone know why the Canadian gift card is only $250??? Are they using an exchange rate from 1952?

We pay more for our cars up here but we get 50% less for the gift card? Damn, why do we always get the shaft?

I called Lexus USA and they told me to call Lexus Canada. After being on hold twice for about 5 min each time, the girl says she doesn't know why it's only $250, just that it is...

Not an acceptable answered. She should of did some research for you, or told you that she would get back in touch with you on the issue.

Just got off the phone with Lexus. Only certain locations got the gift card. Florida where I live did not. I did receive a $2k voucher which I used to lease a new 2011 IS250C combined that with the 1K loyalty. I did not put any money out. The lady did ask me if I received notification about a gift voucher, I told her I did not but I sense if I had told her yes; she would have given me one. But that would have been dishonest. She never asked me about any extended warranty.

Only thing I received was the gift card. I didn't get anything else.
