Just a quick question here. Isn\'t it that when you graduate from college, you only get a diploma? These 2 here is against each other. Just want to clarify this for current/future graduates who might pass by the forum. ;)

Years ago, when the first Grad Program was introduced, there were a lot of fraudulant claims using diplomas \'editted\' by computer means, so rather than scrap the whole Rebate program they put in stricter requirements.

A diploma is not enough, only a letter from the Registars indicating eligibility to graduate with the program length and date OR a copy of an official Transcript from the University indicating completion of all requirements and a graduation date.

So, you pay $10-$20 for the transcript, and you get $500 off your purchase.

The whole thing has always bothered me really.

Pay +$30,000 for you education..

Congradulations, you\'ve Graduated....

What\'s that?

You want your marks?

That\'ll be $15 please.

sorry my mistake. when he meant certificates/diplomas he meant the actual paper. I was thinking of more of the graduation type. like graduating with a certificate for a program and such. my bad.

well, once you graduate, don\'t they send you a copy of the transcript? I got one copy w/o having to give out even a penny.

What happens in 2007? Will the program be discontinued, or will the eligible graduation dates just change accordingly?

Hehe thanks, go figure I\'d ask the question the day before they finally update their site :)

This just in, for 2007 the program has changed slightly.

eligibilty is now for graduates who graduated between January 1st 2003 and December 31st 2007.

The biggest change is that now the rebate will no longer be sent out to the client after the fact. It can only be applied to the deal and all documents must be submitted before the pickup of the new vehicle.

Which means, if you want the rebate, order your official transcripts well in advance from when you intend to pick up.

that's a MUCH better deal (instant rebate vs a MIR) ;)

This is not new.

When I got my car from Mazda of Brampton back in 2004, they already gave me a choice of applying the rebate right away or getting a cheque in the mail. I had to bring my official UofT transcripts for them to photocopy since I opted to apply the rebate right away.

i guess before it was an option that not all dealers exercised.. now there's no option which is nice.. why would anyone want to wait for a cheque?

Yeah, both Mazda of Brampton (my car) and Prima Mazda (sister's car) had the option when we purchased.

[TheProfessor]

Yeah, when I purchased my Mazda6 just over three years ago the dealer (Avante) offered to apply the rebate directly to the car which I did. The salesman did tell me however that standard practice was to have the rebate go direct to the customer in the form of a cheque but if I signed something it could be applied directly instead.

When I graduate can I just come get 500$?

umm no.. you have to have graduated within the specified time frame at the time of purchase.. you can buy another one and qualify ;)

The new part is that Mazda is no longer sending cheques out to the client, It has always been an option to have it applied immediately to the deal if the supporting documents were available or to have Mazda Canada send out a cheque 4-6 weeks after the documents were recieved.

Actually after speaking directly to a rep, the memo is kinda vague and can easily be misunderstood...

The change for 2007 is that you can either use the rebate towards the deal (if you have transcripts ahead of time.) or you can bring them in later (after pickup), wait for them to send a cheque to the dealership and the dealership cuts a cheque back to you after they recieve the payment. (adds a week)
