Maybe be a little less condescending eh? And what did you buy through that program?

You wrote: "Might want to make sure one of your local subaru dealerships honor's the leave no trace VIP status before investing into it." This isn't any issue of whether a dealer takes a LNT or IMBA or ACA or ....etc. VIP program. There is just a (1/uno/single) VIP program. Doesn't matter how you got into it. Whether through a family friend who works at Subaru or through a partnership program. If you are worried about this dealing sounding too good and that a dealer will not take the VIP program all you would have to do is ask "Do you participate in the Subaru VIP program." That is all. You don't need to go down the list of "Do you accept VIP program from association X? What about Y? What about Z?" The dealer only cares about you getting the VIP program letter from SOA.
So yes, in that regard it is brainless as you wrote. This isn't trying to match up the right association with the Subaru dealer. This is just about getting the VIP program. What you should have stated was whether every dealer takes the VIP program. From my n=5 sample (contacted 5 local Subaru dealers) the answer was 5 out of 5 saying yes. Based upon my research of the VIP program I have never ever heard a dealer saying no to the program. That would be idiotic on their part, partly because they still make money on the transaction based off the money SOA kicks back to them. If for some reason they said no you could just contact the next dealer in your area or just call SOA and have them help you out.
Btw, what did I write that was condescending? I didn't even say anything negative about you in my reply. I only asked if you had bought a Subaru through the VIP program. That was all?
