• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Telluride Founder's Club

So much for signing up early to get a special deal...lol
 
We thought we were special :) can’t even be special as a forum member.


Little joke I don’t really care I’m not buying yet!
 
called kia customer service this morning as I never got any email when I signed up back in feb for the
founders club, they created a case for me and assured me I should not have any problems getting the first month founders deal. I'm happy with their customer service so far, glad I ordered mine.

Same for me. I have to send them my payment info after my first payment and they will reimburse me via check.

I’m really confused. The small print on the founders club coupon says you have to finance through Kia Finance to get the first month’s payment made for you. So are they saying that isn’t accurate?

Yes you do, but because they are giving me the reimbursement outside of Kia Finance, Kia Corporate needs a copy of the payment info from me. This is being provided as a courteous credit in my case.
 
I just received a call from KIA and was informed / provided instructions to send my final sales paper that shows the payment and they will process my reimbursement for the payment amount. I thought they would just coordinate with KIA finance but they are separate organizations and KIA finance is not part of Kia based on what I was told by the representative this morning. It takes 4-6 weeks to process the reimbursement.

Ahhh ok, makes sense.

Just call Kia customer service. You’ll get reimbursed if you finance through Kia.
 
just a heads up to all who used the founders club promo (i apologize if this was already mentioned). I got my telluride a month ago using the founder club promo for my free first month payment. checked my kia finance account. nothing. same balance as my original loan amount. emailed kia finance and they said to contact kia motors usa. emailed kia motors usa and got this email back:

Does anyone have info on what specials might be included with this Club? Or how exactly to sign up? All I see on Kia's site is that you can give them your contact info, and just wait I guess! Have any of their other cars had similar clubs? If so, what were those specials? Thanks all!

What’s the email address? I called Kia over a week ago and they haven’t called me back yet. I paid my first lease payment since the dealership didn’t really know what to do.
 
Guys - can anyone help me - I've searched and I still don't understand where to sign up as a Founder's Club member to take advantage of this offer. I've already bought my SX, I financed through Kia, so I should qualify - I just need to join the club. The links in the past posts just take you to a page where you sign up for more info about the Telluride. There is zero reference to any club.

You now need to call. Tell them that you did register before March 1st but never got your confirmation email. Stick to this. If you get someone that says no, call back again. They’ll work with you to reimburse

Call 1-844-495-2119, When prompted
  • Choose option 5
  • Then you will press # (because you do not know your representative’s extension)
  • Then # again (because you do not know your case number)

Thank you 🙏

I called and got a friendly guy who was able to help me. He said I should get an email in 2-3 days that confirms things.

You’re welcome ... I’ll let you know where to send my referral fee! 😁
 
Ugh contacted online since no one will call me back. Someone called me and offered me 3 years free maintenance plus - oil changes and tire rotations instead of a payment. I said no that’s not a $500 value like my payment. Kind of annoyed with Kia .... so much run around.
