Hi everyone - wanted to share something I found that I hope may benefit everyone else. I have mostly been lurking in the forums and am grateful for the discussion and information I've learned so far. I took delivery of an Abyss Blue Pearl Ascent Touring tonight (love it!) and was able to use VIP pricing with my dealership - honestly one of the most stress-free car buying experiences I've ever had.I learned about the VIP program through the forums and like many of you thought that the ASPCA membership was the best way to go in order to very quickly qualify for the VIP program without the 6+ month waiting period that so many other sites enforced. The ASPCA is a great site to support, but I found an alternative - the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society (PHS). They put on the Philadelphia Flower Show each year, and Subaru is a primary sponsor of this. Here's their site: https://phsonline.org/get-involved/membership/new-members/ I reached out to them to ask how long the waiting period was to get a VIP letter once joining (and memberships start at an individual level for as low as $60) I heard back from Karla Siegal, one of the coordinators who told me it was only 24-48 hours after joining, Monday if you join on a weekend. I went ahead and completed my membership request online, paid $60 for the individual membership and the next morning was able to request my VIP letter here: https://flowerblog.survey.fm/subaru-phs-vip-program-request-form . It was seamless and significantly cheaper than the next best option. And to confirm it's invoice -2%.I hope someone can benefit from this and I'm excited to keep learning and sharing with you all as I break in my new Ascent!Good luck!
