Never bought a new MINI, but my first one I got nothing. The last one we got a bag from the dealer at purchase.

Countrymen owners seem to get stuff, we didn't get anything either.

I should've took some photos before throwing almost everything away, anyway, I kept the antenna ball (GB flag), a magazine, reusable folder, paper clip (in clubman form). BTW, mine came last Friday, I was expecting my license plates but was surprised by the Mini bag/folder.

I picked up my Clubman on Sept. 12 and our "bag-o-swag" arrived about a week ago. So they are still sending them - just the time frame seems to differ.

Like everyone else - we got a antenna ball, paper clip, Mini magazine, some Mini promo paper work, Mini journal, and some other stuff?? all in a nice MINI bag...

Hope yours comes soon

All you poor pathetic meatballs didn't get nothin!

When I picked up my Clubbie I got a load of crap. I got a hat, I got a couple key chains(one dog, one logo), I got a mug, I got a stuffed dog, and I could have had some T-shirts...

Then MINI sent me a box-o-goodies that included an antenna ball, some stickers/decals, a deck of cards, a cool pen and a bunch of other cool stuff.

You guys got stiffed... I guess it sucks to be you!

Well after 3 months my bag-o-stuff arrived yesterday. It looked like it fell behind a desk at the post office.

Coincidentally, after 4 months, I got my swag bag too. Pretty cool stuff. It was a lot of fun going through 7 looking everything over.

not sure it matters, but if you sign up for the Mini Owner's Lounge that seems to help.

We bought our R60 3 months ago and we just got our bag of swag yesterday. I am wondering if we will get another one for my husbands R56 that we bought 2 weeks ago, and if so, how long that will take to get.

Yep, picked up on 9/3 and bag arrived yesterday. Love the pen and the Clubman paperclip. Same as others...journal, magazine, reusable bag/folder, etc.

Jealous of those who got a mug when they picked it up, now that I could use!

the paperclip is tiny but cute. I forgot about the mouse pad! Probably because I don't use one...it is pretty cool. It was fun to look through the stuff. The 101 things book was neat too. It's nice to get something in the mail that's interesting!

As it turns out, I did get a paper clip. It was clipped to the magazine. I did flip through the 101 thing book & it's pretty cool. I need to look at it closer, later.

It took me over a month and I had to put out a request online for it. It had a funny brochure, decoder panel, window clingies, a cool 8-ball antenna topper and the most interesting item: a split vinyl sticker. It's only for Clubman owners since it goes on the barn doors. I have not installed it. Am considering a sticky magnet once I can find some material that isn't uber expensive and won't scratch the paint.

I bought my car private seller with over 100k on it. And yet I got a magazine with paper clip. Not sure what I signed up for that gave me that. I did special order a part from the dealer once. I had to fax them a form that may or may not have had my address on it.

I am now convinced the "swag" is impacted by your MA. Case in point; on my first order I started receiving swag within 10 days of placing the order. I received 4 more before my car was delivered within 4 weeks. On my 2nd order I received 1 gift a few months after the car was delivered. That delivery took just over 3 weeks from computer to driveway. This Oct. 29 order will hit the dock on Wednesday the 14th. Zero gifts to date. I guess my MA knows they have me hooked on the MINI madness.
