Default Ideas on how to use $500 dealership card?

I received a replacement $500 Audi dealership card this week. It expires April, 2017, and I am struggling to find a good use for the card. Would love some ideas.

Initially, I thought Audi dealers may sell the VAGCOM, but I couldn't find any. The only other idea I have is to replace the battery since it's around two years old. Since the car isn't used on the weekdays, might be worthwhile replace it? I not thrilled with the OEM Goodyear tires, but there is plenty left in them (and I would have to spend out of pocket $$).

You can probably use it to get accessories (couple it with the 10% off coupons they end to have) - cups that actually fit the cup holders, mats, wheel locks, etc.

Otherwise I would go for tires if they are competitive - if you are unhappy with what you have at least you get about half paid with the card. This is assuming you have no services that could be scheduled.

I bought Audi care for my A6. Gambling on VW's ability to get an approved repair for the 3L diesel.

Get the door lights that project the audi logo on the ground when you open the doors. Its really cool.

I put mine towards new tires. (DWS 06) Dealer is storing them for me until I need them in 3-5k miles.

How were you able to get a replacement card? I tried to get a replacement card and Audi said no.

We bought a pair of winter mats and the dealer applied the balance to our account as a credit toward future purchases.

The company that issues the cards allows for a replacement with $5 fee against the balance on the card. Unfortunately you have to do so prior to the card expiring.
