So What Perks Did You Get (if any) for buying a Vision Line Engine?

Perks?  I get those when I buy a coffee percolator. 

I'm pleased with all the Vision locos I bought because of the features, etc.   Exclusive club?   Membership card?  I don't want to be their friend, just buy a good product, so I never even asked.  I think maybe there is a special shop for repairs, etc., just for Vision stuff, but I have never had to in quire.

None that I know of,

I received nothing either.  I bought a UP Genset I think around Thanksgiving 2010 (could have been 2011, but without my records in front of me I'm thinking 2 years has past).

I also registered it on line with all the information they asked for.  Don't think I ever heard a thing back (though I might have gotten a simple confirmation of registration, I'd have to double check that).

I know my dealer had at least gotten a membership card (he showed it to me) when he bought a few of the Vision items for his personal collection, but he might have bought those earier in the program. 

I know my registration was after the time when Lionel gave a free gift (book) to "club" members at York one meet.  I do not think I had purchased my engine yet at that time (or if I did I had not yet registered it, so I was not eligible for the gift).

As far as I am concerned, my ATSF 3000 is enough reward in itself. I read all of the hype when the Vision Line was first announced, but never worried about a membership card or the other stuff.

Like everything else at times. When they were first announced just before York the perks did not hold up with their dealers. So Lionel did away with the rebates and the prices did go down before the end of that York. The rebates are still listed in the 2009 Vol. 1 catalog and the 2009 Vol. 2 has the reduced prices in them without the rebates.
