I received my check as well for a Volvo and it was $250 instead of the $500. I will call tomorrow as well but keep us updated.
It looks like 2 others replied to my volvo thread and said they received 250 instead of 500.

Just got off phone with live person at Bonusdrive. The number I called was right on the check stub: 877-342-4321.
As soon as I started describing that I only got $250 of $500 she asked me if it was for a Volvo.
She said it is, in fact supposed to be $500. Volvo is one of their newest offerings and something must have been mixed up.
She assures me that it will be rectified.
I have not cashed the $250 check.

Thanks for the heads up. Did she say specifically what they were going to do? Send a new check?
She didnât know if theyâd send another $250 check or if theyâd have us return check we have in exchange for $500 check.
Thatâs why I stated above that I havenât cashed mine yet. Iâm sure either way, theyâll work it out for us.
Just received
Dear BonusDrive Customer,
Due to clerical error, be advised that your BonusDrive check was issued for $250 on your recent Volvo purchase. The total amount should have been for $500. Please accept our apologies for this error.
If you have already received this check, please feel free to cash it. If you donât have it in hand as of now, it has been mailed, and will be in your hands shortly.
A second check will also be sent to you within the next ten days (or so) for an additional $250 and that can also be cashed as soon as you receive it. Both are good for the face value stated on the check for a total cash award of $500.
Again, we are sorry for this inconvenience. Please call us at 888-98-BONUS (26687) if you have any questions.
Thank you,
The BonusDrive Team

Did you get any "we mailed the check " emails or it just arrived?
Nothing, just showed up. Made me laugh compared with all the fanfare prior to the first check.

Do you have to be eligible or anyone can sign up?
It doesnât work if you already have a Volvo and no other cars

Just an FYI that processing seems to be taking about the same time as other people reported, so there arenât any âCOVID-related delays,â per se.
Application submitted on June 10, approval on July 7, and the approval e-mail says the check will come 8-10 weeks from approval, but nothing yet.
This is an FYI if you plan to structure a lease as I did my parentsâ - with an extra $500 at signing on top of first, so that the $500 acts as an incentive and directly reduces the effective monthly payment.
Bonusdrive IS legit. Iâm an insurance agent (formerly Allstate, now Nationwide and others/independent). Iâve had many clients get their checks for $250 or $500 just for applying on the bonusdrive site after buying or leasing a new vehicle. Hyundai, Jeep & Chrysler , Dodge, Ram, & Fiat are $250. Volvo WAS on the list, but as of today theyâre not on the website. You qualify by having Nationwide or Allstate, AAA, or being an employee of certain companies, or other memberships.

Volvo still on the website, just checked
Gotta ensure youâre looking at the Allstate Bonusdrive website, not one of the other partnerâs Bonusdrive sites. Through AAA Bonusdrive and a couple others Volvo didnât appear for me too and reward amounts varied. I believe through Allstate the only requirement is still owning or trading non-volvo/hyundai/ram/whatever Bonusdrive eligible brand you bought.
Sonic- Correct; Nationwide insurance customers also offers Volvo new buyers $500.
Thanks
