HOUSTON, April 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Wisconsin native William Last is the newest recipient of the
Quaker State Cash Back Program. Last's loyal use of Quaker State
products in his vehicle earned him $2,500.
Last qualified for the cash reward after hitting the 300,000
mile mark in his 2001 Chevy Tahoe and by providing proof of regular
oil changes using Quaker State products purchased at his local
Menards home-improvement store. And the best part? He keeps his
truck on top of the bonus.
"As a man who logs a lot of travel miles on the road, my vehicle
plays a pivotal role in my life, getting me to and from different
locations," said William Last,
Quaker State Cash Back Program recipient. "I have always been a
firm supporter of getting the most out of my investment and, with
Quaker State products, I have been able to keep my vehicle running
strong, long and reliably… not to mention the cash I'm getting in
return!"
Last has been a loyal and regular guest of Menards
home-improvement stores, consistently purchasing Quaker State, one
of the industry's most innovative motor oil brands, for his
Tahoe.
Launched in June 2011, the Quaker
State Cash Back Program was created to reward loyal consumers with
the U.S. Kelley Blue Book Trade-In Value for their vehicle, with a
maximum allotted payout of $3,000.
Selected recipients of the bonus qualify after providing proof of
the use of eligible Quaker State motor oils and an odometer that
reads 300,000 miles.
"Quaker State makes it its mission to provide motorists with
products that not only offer the value that they desire and expect,
but we also put a high value on those who pledge their loyalty to
our brand," said Gita Gidwani,
Quaker State Global Brand Manager. "The Quaker State Cash Back
Program reflects our gratitude and appreciation to our consumers,
showing that, with Quaker State, loyalty goes both ways."
The Quaker State Cash Back Program is open to Quaker State motor
oil customers who are eligible for and have registered to
participate in the Quaker State Lubrication Limited Warranty
program. To qualify for the program, motorists must consistently
use an eligible Quaker State motor oil product, including Quaker
State® Enhanced Durability motor oil, Quaker State® Defy for Higher
Mileage Engines and Quaker State® Ultimate Durability™ Full
Synthetic motor oil, starting no later than 100,000 miles. The
Quaker State Lubricant Limited Warranty takes effect six months
after the first eligible purchase of Quaker State motor oil.
The Quaker State Lubrication Limited Warranty protects 15 engine
parts from lubricant-related failure and provides motorists'
vehicles with coverage for up to 10 years or 300,000 miles,
whichever comes first. The Quaker State Lubrication Limited
Warranty is free to qualifying consumers who use Quaker State motor
oil products. To qualify, consumers' vehicles must have been
manufactured within the last 72 months and have been driven 75,000
miles or less at the time of enrollment.
