Our Verdict
Kia seems to run this offer often with the same details (last one was in February), although previous deals didn’t specify that the test drive needs to be done on the Optima.
In the past, if you were honest about not actually wanting to purchase a car, they would not make you do a test drive and just fill out the form for you. There is some risk, though, in admitting that you don’t want the car, so it may be safer to just do the test drive.
This is also limited to the first 10,000 certificates they receive and it doesn’t look like they will tell people when this number is reached. This makes it impossible to know for certain that you’ll end up with the $25, but let’s hope for the best. Send it in right away to increase your chances.
Note that sometimes the system will flag you as having done the offer if you did a previous offer. There is nothing in the terms that indicates that these deals are once-in-a-lifetime, so you can simply use a different email address and get the certificate that way, and that should let you complete this offer.
