Stay on topic please. Anyone received any of the commitment rewards items that weren't what they were supposed to be? Mine was related to a "titled item" of significant value. Not a $90,000 truck but a significant item for a small time operator working on a three year commitment deal. When I received this item recently it rolled into my shed and I was surprised to realize that it is a 2 year old "new" item (2023 model year instead of 2025). What's up BECKS? I've been down this street with the rewards items over the past 9 years and this is the first time this has occurred. I've had great performance out of Becks seed over these past nine years but this deal has left me with severe heartburn to put it mildly. Has anyone else out there in NAT land experienced this???? They are reluctant to swap it out for a 2025 model without upselling me and me kicking in extra cash. I'm not on board with that! My previous deals have been similar products but all were upgraded 3 years each time. It's like going to buy a new vehicle and getting down to the paperwork and realizing its a 2 year old carryover model. BECKS DO BETTER. Anyone else got similar issues?????
I haven't looked at their commitment program in years and haven't bought any seed from them. But your post made me curious, so I went to their website to check it out.
Clicked on the "Commitment Rewards" link. I see one of the rewards is a $78k Chevy truck. It does not specify a model year. It doesn't even say that it is new. Those details might be in the contract you sign when you buy your seed, but I don't know that for sure. All I can see is that it is a truck that they say is valued at $78k which includes local sales tax.
A lawyer might make the argument that the item you received is valued at less than the price Becks advertised. You would need to show what dealers are selling the exact item currently. Using the truck example above: you find the exact spec truck at a dealer for $70k with tax after all rebates and discounts. In this example, Becks advertised price was $8000 more than what you received. You might be able to go after them for falsely advertising the value of your reward. This is assuming that there isn't something in the contract you signed that releases them from liability. Obviously they probably bought that truck for less than the advertised value because of bulk buying volume discounts.
I am guessing that they have it all covered in the contract you signed. They will have better lawyers than you can afford. The only relief you will get is the satisfaction of knowing how they operate so that you can make better decisions in the future.
