there is a huge thread discussing this topic.

you will not receive any gift card unless you have some sort of extended warranty. If you do not have extended warranty, then you will receive 2 extra years of warranty.

Nope...

If you have no extended warranty AND you don't live in FL, you will get an extra 30k miles on the powertrain warranty... 0 extra years though.

If you have an extended already, or live in Florida, you get the $500 card.

last year, I got a mail saying I will get the $500 gift card, but do I need to get the spring recall done in order to "actually" get the card?

i think you only receive it if you have an extended warranty... because for those that didn't they extended the warranty. I already had an extended warranty so they sent it to me. I received mine a month ago

Why is Florida the exclusive one?

It's discussed in one of the other threads on this (hopefully the mods will consolidate, we don't really need 6 different gift card threads)...apparently something about consumer law in FL that makes extending the warranty the way Lexus was doing not an option there.

(if I had to totally guess it'd be something like "if a manufacturer is providing compensation for a mfg. defect it may not be in the form of a longer warranty for that defect" or something, so that it actually "costs" them something for a defect.... FL has a lot of odd consumer laws though due to the abundance of elderly population that's easily taken advantage of)

I have a question. There is this guy who is trying to sell his $500 gift card for half the price because he sold his is350 so now he has no use for it. Are there any restrictions against this?

Only can be used at Lexus dealership and I would double check that card to make sure it not used. If he activated then I'm sure he probably used it. The fact that it will have his name on it don't know how it will work.

Thanks for the quick reply. So my best bet would be to activate the card on the spot before paying?
