Comments

Walked into my ford garage this morning on way home from doggie walk - nice salesman asked which car I wanted to test drive, I said didn't mind as I was really just interested in points. He took DL, voucher and nectar card into boss man who then had trouble getting machine to work:eek: and had to ring helpline! Dog laid down and went to sleep:D . Fifteen minutes later boss man came back and apologised for keeping me waiting and gave me back DL, card & receipt with 10,000 nectar points on for 0.01p:D. I was going to be cheeky and ask for voucher back for my sister but didn't have the courage:o . Perhaps next time! lol0

Tomorrow (23rd) is the last day for this promotion - it was referred to in posts as before the 23rd but actually includes the 23rd. The Nectar site link states before the 23rd - but the MoS T&C's .....
the voucher entitles the bearer to 10,000 bonus Nectar points when they book a test drive at a participating Ford Motor Company Limited Dealership between April 17 and 23, 2006.
Just some information - for those like me who had forgotten about this and thought they had missed out.0 -

This "before 23rd" may have "kicked in" at some dealers.
My brother went this morning and the Nectar machine or Ford cash register was no longer taking the offer code - was the same at several branches that they phoned to check.
The dealer took the voucher and card details but wasn't sure if they would actually go through later or tomorrow although they were going to try.

Yes, I had major problems at Ford in Taunton. They initially told me they would add the points to my card without a test drive but they had trouble finding the offer on their system and in the end, couldn't do it.
I rang Nectar to complain. They told me it was a Ford promotion, so I 'phoned Ford and they told me to go back to the dealer and get the staff member to 'phone them. I did so and my points were allegedly added although they will take 28 days to show up.
The staff at the dealership were very nasty - they said that people like me, who weren't considering a change of car, were "taking advantage of the system". I have written to the Head Office about this lack of customer care.
I might be interested in getting a new car in the next year or so but I sure as hel won't go back to Ford.
Thanks for listening, Lewis0 -
I went into Dees of Croydon on Saturday and *booked* a test drive and the man put the points on my card. apparently they'll take a while to show up though.
He was lovely and helpful and I felt sorry for him so I tried to pretend I was looking to buy soon. Don't think he was conviced though! LOL!!!
Looking forward to booking my Eurostar tickets to paris! Yay!Most things in life are beyond our control,for everything else there is a spreadsheetson#1 born 04/01/09

I was told (on thurs) that their machine wasn't working but they had made a copy of the card and licence - they haven't showed up yet
I didn't take a test drive.

I took my card in on Tuesday morning and the points aren't showing yet. Could take up to 28 days according to the blurb.0 -
Just had a phone call from Fords to see if my local Ford dealer got in touch over the test drive. I think there checking up that you did have the test drive.0
