I Am Number 100

[FSTENUF]

I have just renewed my vca and upgraded to the venom. when i called in she told me that i was the 100th person to join and i was the last one to get the gift package for upgrading. WOW i finaly won something and i didn't even know that their was a perk for joining.

 

[Venomiss]

$25 coupons from Daves Big Brakes and Partsrack for the first 100 to join with the Venom option. Thank you for supporting this site!

How does one know what # renewal they were? I renewed via the phone the first day and wasn't told?

What number you have in order does not matter, if you did it the first day no doubt you are in if a guy who just posted was 100. There is no glory in being 1 or 50 or 75 or 100. It's a perk that was offered to the first 100.

 

[ViperGTS]

I am looking forward to a $25 order at JonB´s PartsRack sending in my coupon also...

Cool that means i'm in the top 100 as well....Did mine online two weeks ago.

I was forty something. I asked.

I wanted sixty six.

They were not cooperative.

So... I guess that there's no point in opting for the Venom membership now that the first 100 are spoken for.

I'd check with Jon B. He has said he MAY extend his offer past the 1st 100 Venom members. [email protected]

Sure there is! JRT said they are at 110 right now. Here's the option:


Welcome to the VCA VENOM MEMBERSHIP OPTION!
What the heck is the Venom membership option?
First ,it is NOT a separate VCA group or subdivision - not even close. What the Venom membership is however, is a special opportunity for members to enhance their VCA membership with some additional services, features, raffle and merchandise discounts all while providing the club with some much appreciated additional financial support.

Here’s how it works:

By choosing the Venom membership option, a VCA member gets the following additional benefits:

• Special Venom badges
• Special Venom avatar identification on these forums
• Venom member 10% discount on merchandise purchased from VCAGoods.com
• Inclusion on special Venom member page in VIPER magazine to acknowledge Venom membership
• Special Viper raffle ticket discount to enable purchase of five (5) tickets (per raffle) for $500.00
• Special Venom decal

Cost? Just $150.00 for the annual upgrade (inclusive of the base $115 dues)

..I'd check with Jon B. He has said he MAY extend his offer past the 1st 100 Venom members. [email protected]..

Thanks Venom Members: We offered this discount ('unsolicited') as a way to create some initial momentum for Venom, because we are passionate about the VCA and its need for funding. We asked other vendors to partcipate, and it was an easy sell. (Daves, Belanger, Corsa)

Prospective Venom members NOTE: Please join VENOM to help this club, that brings you (along with we sponsors) this website. Sure, the perks are nice, but do it anyway? +$35 = A partial tank of gas per year, just to support THIS SITE. And all you LURKERS out there, who never post: Dont be a freeloader.... Do your part and pay $35 extra and JOIN VENOM. Be a CHARTER MEMBER in 2008. (my words, not VCAs) Dont like labels? Please pay $35 extra anyway, THANKS! [Call it an Anti-Venom Donation ?! ]

Sponsors intend to evaluate any marketing success as well: We believe that customers will buy wheels, tires, exhaust, rotors, etc, and then we have margins to give them a $25 extra discount. MENTION VENOM ! ASK IF A VENOM DISCOUNT (or Anti-Venom) APPLIES, even if you are not 1st 100. [However, if shoppers call up and say "what can I get for $30 or less" then we would NOT call this a success...I await your pranks!] Internet orders, use our COMMENTS line and say "VENOM MEMBER - Apply any Discount" or some such, and be surprised. WE WANT THIS TO BE A SUCCESS for VCA, CUSTOMERS, and PARTSRACK.

We pledge to do MORE for VCA and Venom in the future. So JOIN? I suspect other Vendors who dont read this board will come aboard soon.....dont be left out. If the VCA wisely uses its assets for limited marketing, my bet is VENOM MEMBERS will WANT to receive special offers from its Sponsors, THROUGH the VCA!

Since the VCA has repeatedly announced they intend to PUBLISH THE LIST in Viper Magazine, I certainly hope their wisdom will allow them to provide an edited list (last name-1st initial?) ASAP so we can honor the program NOW, and consider extending it SOON. Thank You.

They and you have my promise, pledge, and word that we wont use or misuse the list to e-market or telemarket you, [ except on Mondays of course, but only in months that end in the letter Q.]

Thanks for Supporting the VCA thru VENOM Membership.....

CORRECTION:

We are NOT doing a coupon! Logistical nightmare. {imagine sending them to Bavaria?)

-Coupons dont prove you are a Venom member. Only THE LIST or credentials prove this.
-Production costs and mailing coupons is problematic, and slow
-Stuffing coupons adds VCA HQ workload.
-Redeeming coupons is a customer pain.
-Lost coupons are a customer and sponsor pain.
-Copied, ebayed, sold, transfer coupons = non-Venom owners could play with no VCA support.
-ONLY the LIST ensures true Venom membership. VCA will eventually PUBLISH THE LIST.....

!!! Even a totally anonymous list of MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS ALONE would solve this!!!

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

Anyway of getting the 100 names????

The membership offering has repeatedly stated that the names will be published in Viper Magazine. Just be patient..... If you are in the 100, we can verify your eligibility but YOU have to send us your request with your orders.

Jon--Just to let you know, when I called to confirm my venom membership, was told by JRT coupons would be mailed to us with our new membership info. Thanx for clarifying you are not one of the vendors where we will get coupons from...that we need to specify it when ordering anything from you~~~ ~juli

She does indeed say that ...but JonB has reiterated that that is not true...it probably was in the beginning, and when you call JRT they do not say PartsRack is NOT involved in the coupon giveaway...sooooo....guess we gotta go by what JonB is saying...it is his company. What Venomiss meant was in the beginning, I believe, that was the plan. ~juli
**She will chime in and set us all straight, I'm sure...she's very very helpful as you all know**

 

[FSTENUF]

WOW!!!!! I had no idea that it was a secret. didn't think my post would start so much about joining venom. but i am going to use every discount i get for being a member. hope to meet some of you this summer at vca events

I thought about paying for this Venom thingy, but I then thought "nah, I don't have a Hennessey package car, that would be cheesy", so I blew the extra $35 on M&M's and a couple of cases of Diet Coke. The club doesn't give me anything anyway.















NOT!!!!!!

This is THE SINGLE BEST CAR CLUB IN THE COUNTRY, and 35 extra dollars to help make it even better is CHUMP CHANGE!!! Hell, the way I see it, by getting the Venom Package (I was number 99 don'tcha know!) I made money due to the generosity and commitment of PartsRack and our other awesome sponsors who have stepped up. JonB gets 99% of my Viper business anyway (Haven't really found much he doesn't carry), so this is a net loss for him, and yet here he is giving away money....Way to go Jon.

You are my hero!! Even for those who did not make the first 100 the Venom option is a great way to support the VCA club and this site. Thank you!

So, it is a good idea?
As if I'm going to be left out in the cold with a mere 'regular' membership now.

Was just yanking the chain, anyway. I am still not sure if I should wait for something from the region, though. Things happen differently up here. I'm tempted to just call it in to JRT, though.

I would phone it in. Mail from JRT is slower than a old lady in the fast lane at 5:00pm
