Comments on: Free Mammoth Mountain Lift Tickets for Test Driving a Ford

Please note the dates on this thread. The 2010 promotion involved the dealership collecting customer email and the process was then completed using information in a return email to the customer.

The 2011 process was simplified. The dealerships were provided printed vouchers to hand out to to customers. Dealerships were directed to issue one voucher per person test driving a car. There were a limited number of vouchers available and some dealerships may indeed have run out by now.

I would suggest calling a dealership prior to arriving for a test drive to insure that they have vouchers remaining. Mammoth Mountain does not have any vouchers available. Southern California Ford Dealers are in control of 100% of the vouchers. Please direct all inquiries regarding this program to them.

A lot of times when you come to the dealership sales people don’t really care about programs like this neither their sales managers so they don’t wanna be held responsible for some marketing program that dealer doesn’t pay them on. So, most likely, the guy took your information, put it on a sales manager’s desk to handle, and that just never happened. My advice is just go to another dealership when you have problem dealing with the one you went to and talk to the sales manager (nicely) . He ll give it to you right away since he’ll know that you are not gonna buy a car.

We went to Sunrise Ford in North Hollywood and told them straight up we were there for the Mammoth tickets. We test drove the cars and even went home and got our car for an appraisal. We spoke with the manager and customer service manager. Both failed to call us back numerous times. We have bought two Fords from this dealer but no more. We are done with Sunrise Ford as well as the Ford Company.

So here’s an update – Marc and Rob from Mammoth were great as far as helping us out. As it turned out, my brother was in the system, but his email address was not entered correctly – so Marc was able to fix that in a very short time.

My Ford dealer, on the other hand, did not enter me, my hubby or my friend in the system…after NUMEROUS phone calls to the dealer, we finally received the remaining lift tickets today. Many thanks to Rob from MammothMtn for all his help with this.

One thing I learned is that Mammoth Mtn has awesome customer service. It I didn’t get the tickets I was going to be totally unhappy with Ford, not Mammoth. It was Ford’s offer and Ford’s responsibility to enter the names and emails in the system. But the Mammoth guys were the only ones who actually expressed any concern at my predicament. I am sure I would not have eventually gotten the tickets if it weren’t for the Mammoth guys so thank you thank you thank you.

You can email me with questions or concerns at mfathauer@mammoth-mtn.com.

And yes, Ford is no longer issuing vouchers.

I was very disappointed with this so called offer. I went and test drove a Ford at Power Ford in Torrance 7 days ago on 1/26/10. I haven’t received anything. I called the salesman today and he says he submitted all the paperwork but they’ve been having problems with the website. My hubby did a test drive at the same dealer as did one of our friends. NONE of us ever received a e-mail. My brother and his girlfriend also did a test drive (at a different dealer). She got an email the next day. He never received anything. So out of 5 of us, only one person received anything. I call BS.

i think you are SOL. I’ve heard Ford telling people that they are out of tickets. I received mine the minute I walked out the door. If you haven’t received it thus far, I don’t think you will.

I’m going through the same issue. Starting to think that Ford is just full of it.

What’s with this promotion? We went to the Ford dealer in Thousand Oaks because we are in the market for a car. We test drove an Escort and liked it. I asked for the free lift ticket and they said “Oh, we ran out yesterday.” Nowhere in the ad did it say supplies were limited. No one offered me a rain ticket or a check for the price of the lift ticket. Fine. Because I make it a practice of not doing business with scoundrels who mislead or lie, this little stunt has cost them the sale of a car. We went over to the Mazda dealer and are now considering that or a Honda. Take note Ford!
