Yep ... got mine. 

[JaimeC]

Got my card today.  Honestly, I wasn't even expecting it.  I had ordered my S at the end of March and when I heard about the "Fuel for Life" Incentive in April I figured it was just my luck to miss THAT boat.  Maybe because I didn't actually take delivery until April?  Who knows... I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.  Thank you, ZERO!

Got my card today. Hurray!

knowing how long since you bought your bikes might be helpful....just saying. 

bought my '16 FXS April 30th, no card yet.

laters,

I ordered my bike April 1st.  Received on April 8th.  Visa Gift Card arrived May 23rd.

Which beats the California Rebate which I still haven't received yet.

I'm not at all happy with myself for picking up my bike on March 20th!  Don't get me wrong, I love the bike (DSR), but I could have waited another couple of weeks for 1K.  Oh well, predicting the future has never been my strong suit!

If you bought an Apple II when they first came out, you would have spent thousands of dollars.
You would have upgraded to improved computers along the way and years of enjoyment / productivity.
Or, you could have waited for the " Perfect " computer, and still be waiting. Might be a bit late now,
but, if you didn't ask dealer to contact Zero about some other sort of compensation ( parts, service, accessories )
maybe something could be worked out.

You are correct.  I've been waiting for a couple of years for the battery technology to level off a bit, and I felt the '16 models seemed like a great place to jump in.  No regrets on the purchase or the decision.  I did have my dealer ask for me on any possible consideration, no dice...

The analogy doesn't hold up.  The reason its used in tech is because tech changes so rapidly that its pointless to wait for the 'next big thing' as the 'next big thing' is a few months away.  It has nothing to do with the cost or discounting. 

I lucked out on my order (the dealer was unaware of it until -after- I bought my bike) but if I knew it was coming I may of jumped to the SR instead of the S.

How does Zero know who to call or mail it to? I don't remember any of those things being on my purchase agreement at the dealership. Just my name and email address. Did any of you have to contact Zero directly about it? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something since I think my dealer won't be as proactive as they could be about getting me my $1000.

Analogy holds up just fine. Today I can pick just about any laptop and it will work for almost all basic needs. You dont need the latest and greatest to do the newest software.
over the last few years, I could just say "pick the laptop/PC you like, they're all good enough" and then use them for a years until they break.. not because they're obsolete.

It just took a good 30 years after the apple II.

As I stated above, I did nothing.  I actually ordered the bike in March and simply assumed I wouldn't be getting a gift card since the offer wasn't extended until April.  I was pleasantly surprised when I got the card in the mail.  I don't know if the dealer had anything at all to do with it because I never discussed it with them either.

How do you get real money off the bloody $1000 debit card anyways?  My bank said it was declined for cash advance, and the support phone number is some script reading support farm in India. Right there in the terms provided with the card it says you will be charged a $5 fee to have the balance mailed to you as a check;  The support drone says to me "Sir, that is not true, you are lying because that is not true";   I ask to be put with a manager and the drone says there is no manager, good bye, and puts me on endless hold (I gave up after 2 hours on hold of crappy music).

Super pissed off about having a $1000 credit that will expire by way of bullshit fees over time, instead of cash or an ACH compatible transfer to a checking account. The worst is that I call the support number and get some fucking script reading monkey who calls me a liar and transfers me to endless hold music.

Has anyone been able to cash out this?  HOW?   Thanks for any advice.
