So I got an email today from Subaru of America asking me to apply to be a Subaru Ambassador.    Did anybody else get one of these?

 

 

 

As a Subaru Ambassador, you'll be able to use your enthusiasm to spread the word about Subaru and help shape the future of our brand.

You'll receive the latest information about Subaru products and programs, and an assortment of materials and Subaru Gear to share with others who are interested in Subaru. 

We will provide you with official Subaru Ambassador apparel and you may also receive exclusive invitations to events in your area. That way, people will recognize you as a "go-to" person for all things Subaru.

If you are willing to make a personal commitment of your time and energy, becoming a Subaru Ambassador is sure to be an exciting adventure.  

This is totally confounding. After decades of ducking their fans, pretending they never heard of us, and not returning phone calls and emails about supporting events, they mail that... I hope it is a legit turn around.

i got one as well. i wonder how/where they got email addresses, or if it was a mass text based on forum sigh ups?

YOU can become a Subaru Ambassador!

Here's your chance to become part of an exclusive group of energetic and passionate Subaru owners.

Do they pay in Head Gaskets?

They will give you a shirt and jacket. I have signed up! Maybe they have our emails from the badge of ownership programs.

I think it's cool, however I'm not sure how much more time I can devote to events and such.

SOA if you're looking as stated above you folks largely ignored the East Coast even while we were setting a prime example of the brand's abilities just a few miles from your HQ.

 

And I can't speak for the west and the rest but your policies on older parts up until the economy went south left many of us out in the cold.

 

I've had a great experience with one person from SOA. That in over 33 years of owning and driving six star cars.

I applied. Not gonna lie I think itd be cool to get recognition for spreading the word about Subaru... especially since I do it daily, even though I work at Toyota

I applied also... but I worry that they are just looking for social media trolls. I am not on Facebook, Twitter, etc... I cancelled my accounts for my own reasons. I hope there are some things I can do locally.

Well, I'm a official Subaru Ambassador now.

Anyone else get the confirmation email?

i did yesterday. kinda cool.

I did as well, and I am going to take some goodies to the next cars and coffee in Great Falls  VA.

im having problems ordering goodies using the ambassador bucks? any ideas?

I got my email and ordered swag. The dog stuff will be easy to give away in my neighborhood.

I missed the first time around that they sent a code in the email that goes in the ambassador bucks slot of the user profile, once you put that in check out is done with the amabssador bucks. What is odd is that they charge, but do not show, tax so you have to fiddle with the items a bit to get under the allowed amount. I also did some back and forth about using the initial amount in full or using some and holding some in balance in case they added some additional items that were better later. Not that this isn't good swag mind you, just what if you go back next week and they have added something cooler like hotwheels rally cars or something... As soon as I get my swag I'm going to hand some out at the Cars and Coffee.

I wouldn't mind sporting Subaru gear. Currently I only have BMW and Honda apparel

Yeah ditto.  Did we all get the same amount of cash to spend?  150.

I just got my email as well last Friday.  Cool program.

 

The should add some stickers to the swag area.

I  think it is brilliant, Subaru fans have always been there and are their best advertising so why not work with them! Well done Subaru.

 

I am hoping to see some more swag in the near future, I almost held on to some bucks just in case....

 

_same amount here $150 which I thought was decent as a starting point.

I applied and was chosen also.  Supposed to get my ambassador $ on April 3.  Also said I would be getting mags, brochures, etc in the mail along with a shirt and jacket.  I haven't been too involved other than driving my 86 Camo Subie around the last 2 years due to health but hope that improves this year. 

 

Glad Subaru is recognizing that the owners are probably their best way to advertise.  Not sure what my game plan is going to be yet, but I'm excited.

 

Downloaded the ambassador guide - now have to read it to see what they expect.

The biggest thing is to fill out the monthly report and send it in.

This is how you get your Ambassador bucks.

I got the package too. I've been traveling a lot so haven't had time to dig in.

Today, a gift package arrived for me, sent to Honduras by my Friend, MilesFox:

 

 

So, I have a couple of items of the Ambassador program! 

 

Also a new part for my "BumbleBeast" shifter linkage,

 

Thank you so Much, MilesFox.

 

Kind Regards.
