We have done 7 of these test drives, and gotten all of our stuff, minus the binoculers from, oh from one of them, I forget. But they are due anytime now. But either way, got BUY.com GC, two $50 GiftCertificates.com GC's (turned those into footlocker GC's), picnic in a backpack (came in very handy for the Rhythm and Booms on Sat. night http://www.rhythmandbooms.com), JCPenny $25, Webcertificate $25, and waiting on the binoc's. So if you haven't gotten yours, well, make sure you have waited the allotted time, then give them a piece of your mind.

I did this back in april as well. It says only one per 90 days so I may do it agiain. Although I am still waiting for my $50 from that last test drive. By the time i get my GC, I will be probably able to buy a geforce for $50. Cool, a free geforce.

Yeah I have done a couple of these and I just received my second one today. Sent it in about 3 weeks ago. The first one took about 4 weeks to get back.

I have the same problem with OLDS! No Buy.com certificate.
I've sent bout 8 emails- "We are tracking it." ...o...ok....actually didnt even make sense: "We are tracking it and sending in 2-10 business days."

Been over 4 months...

any suggestions?

Have you tried phoning them at 1-800-225-OLDS?

I got my GC for a Pontiac test drive in 2 weeks and the Blockbuster rental cards I redeemed it for came just a week later. BTW, the rental cards sold at giftcertificates.com are for a fixed number of rentals, not fixed dollar amounts, and on new movies they're a slightly better deal than the Olds $50 Blockbuster card.

Kick ass! Even if the $50 takes forever, I get to test drive a Corvette :D (I'm 18, so I usually can't do these things)

Funny thing is, I'm actually going to buy a car soon...but no way will it be new, expensive, or sporty! ;)

You put down a vette?? You're unlikely to drive it, but they may just give you the $50. I could have sworn there was some law that state you gotta be 21 to test drive. But in the terms, it says 18... so i wanted to put something in more realistic and just picked a malibau(sp?). Ah well, doesn't matter, I didn't drive anything anyway :)
