Question about purchasing and hyundai circle program

[RK1]

One of the dealers who said no additional incentives did offer up a couple of $500 customer cash coupons from his previous month's sales.

Don't really understand the confusion of the dealers on this issue as i am guessing there has got to be some Hyundai Circle program guidelines somewhere...

I'm noticing that the Hyundai Circle Discount isn't quite as good as the deal I'm seeing on TrueCar.com anyway. So I'm not even sure it's worth it at all in the first place...

That was my experience. And the TrueCar price, while a darned good price, was just a stating point for negotiating for me.

TrueCar is good enough that Consumer Reports, who sold their own pricing info analysis for years, is now opting to front-end an access to TrueCar. That's a compliment because Consumer Reports takes pride in the products and information they offer.

True, but keep in mind there's likely an affiliate program adding to the incentive...

Just to confirm, you CAN get the HMA incentives with the Circle Plan A pricing. Got some confusion with a few dealers, but finally got it confirmed.

If you do get the same dealer confusion, then just access the FAQ section of the HMA Circle program and its all in there...

The problem is getting the dealer to acknowledge that and apply the additional discount. In cases where a dealer says the additional discounts are not available for Hyundai Circle pricing, I suspect a dealer intends to process the discount, and plans on keeping the money for themselves. Not sure if there is much that can be done, since dealers are apparently not required to accept the Hyundai Circle price.

If this is the case, just go to a different dealer or buy something else - if for nothing else but out of principle. Because somebody is taking your money if you don't get the additional discount(s). Hyundai needs to learn how to deal with customers and this is probably a helpful way to teach them. In 155 years Hyundai will thank me for this important message.
