Our Verdict
I tried a lot of random zips and didn’t have much success (well really any success at all). I don’t think it’s worth doing for $25 but for $100 it’s a great deal. Sometimes actually getting the gift card bonus can be difficult but that really varies via dealership. You can currently get $50 for test driving a Hyundai as well. If you get any dealerships to work, please share them in the comments below.
Looks like there is one for Hyundai. A pop-up for $50 should come up.

Test drove at frank hyandai and was told the gift card would be e mail3d to me in 4 To 8 weeks! Totally not worth it!
Nearly a month ago I did a test drive for Hyundai. Have yet to receive my gift card. Also one day later I did a test drive for Subaru and I received my gift card the same day! Note: Also if you have paypal you can forward the electronic gift card to your paypal as a transaction. Paypal is usually linked to your bank account and wallah, you have cash!
My zip is 45324. Went last week and a $100 Visa Gift Card is in the Mail. (Minus the $3 processing fee.) I wanted a physical card. Checked the same dealership today, by the same method I used earlier and Juicy Josh listed, Germain Ford of Beavercreek, and they’re only offering $50 gift card. I know these fluctuate very frequently and are usually area specific, but have seen them nation wide.
Does anyone know if you can test drive one type of car (for example Ford) and then another type of card (Hyundai) within a small window of time or are both considered one gift card redeemable per 6 months?
Thanks for all the cool tips. Been following this site for a few years now! Keep up the good work.
only seeing $25 offer.
The simplest method I found to locate these offers is as follows:
1) go to manufactures website
2) go to find a dealer link
3) enter zip
4) from map open dealership sites in separate windows
5) in all local dealer windows open new inventory link and let sit for a couple min while you navigate other pages
Definitely hit or miss on all vehicle brands but found test drive offers from Subaru, Ford, Dodge and Hyundai. Did not find any for Kia, Honda, Toyota Chevy in my local area.
Will,
On a similar note, every Subaru dealership (3) I checked online offered $25 for test drive and 1 local Dodge dealer did. Dodge was same platform as Hyundai.
That being said, all were $25 so I’ll pass.
Thanks
