Dan at ACNA told me today that the lifetime membership DOES waive the 6-month wait period. Maybe they recently changed it back?

I signed up for the ACNA membership anyway, I actually do like the mag a bit better than my Roundel. Maybe on my next Audi I'll get the lifetime membership

I was told 6 months too, but they do make exceptions for those close to 6 months (ie 5 months).

Does anyone know if dealers in Canada offer a discount for regular ACNA members or lifetime members? Do they offer the same 6% as in the USA?

Thanks!

From Audi Club North America's website:

It doesn't say Canada is excluded but you might want to give them a call. (number is below).

One of the premier benefits is the Loyalty program which rewards members on the purchase or lease of Audi automobiles. Audi of America has announced a new Audi Club Member Loyalty Program for 2013 with the following eligibility requirements:
  • At participating dealers, you will be able to purchase or lease select MY13 Audi models at 6% below MSRP (excluding RS5, TTRS, A8W12, Q5 hybrid and R8 models).
  • This program is compatible with any Audi retail incentive (loyalty or conquest) and AFS Special or Standard rate program unless noted in future communications.
  • You must have obtained an authorized ACNA personnel signature before visiting the dealership. Be sure to bring the completed eligibility form, a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance to the dealership.
  • You may decide to trade in another vehicle while purchasing your new Audi. These transactions are between you and the Dealer and are to be negotiated solely between you and the Dealer.
  • Any decision by AoA is final in all matters relating to this program. AoA has the right to cancel or amend the program at any time for any reason.
  • ACNA members can purchase one (1) Audi vehicle per year with this program.
  • For eligibility in this program, ACNA membership must be current and in good standing for a minimum of six (6) months prior to purchase or lease.
  • For Audi Club North America 2013 Supplier Program forms (loyalty forms) please call the national office at 262.567.5476. The new 2013 Supplier program applies to purchases made as of February 1, 2013.

I joined ACNA in February, but my car is arriving next week most likely.

What is the verdict on the Lifetime Member exemption for the 6 month minimum? If I can save the money by going lifetime member I'll definitely do it.

I wished I had been an Audi buyer much earlier in my life, as I would have jumped for the lifetime membership. I did the math on the lifetime recently and I figured I probably won't outlive the next 21 years of being a member to break even. lol

I am happy with my supplier discount for now.

Just emailed Dan at ACNA again; he said I should have the completed Incentive Form shortly. So it certainly seems like the verdict is positive. I think he processes all of the membership applications/renewels/etc., so if you email/call them I am pretty sure you will get him.

I emailed them this morning at the general office contact form.
They replied that 6 month minimum rule stands.
