    You have to have a voucher that was only given out through HSN on that day. I may have an extra coming if you need it. PM me for details.

    Why remote start a Prius? The engine doesn't run when you not moving. Or is it to get the heater warmed up or something like that? I have the remote AC but never use it because the solar pkg keeps the interior cool anyway. Plus it would take away from the milage.

    It would be to heat the car up or cool it down.

    Is there any catch to this? Do you have to have certificate in hand and call before you purchase prius. and the certificate is transferrable and retrospective? Doesn't require you to purchase Toyota through a special means - any recent purchase will apply? Sounds too good to be true - has anyone actually gotten their $1K rebate yet from a voucher purchased on ebay??

    I received my package from HSN 2 days ago.
    You have to have the slip and the original order invoice from HSN. They include a copy with each kit ordered.
    You also need a copy of your paperwork showing you bought a 2012 hybrid after Oct. 6th.

    and you arent a 'registered HSN' customer; are you? thought I'd read that on voucher scan . Ive never purchased thru HSN before, but there seem to be a few available on ebay from $27 to $66.

    Hello there. Has anyone here received the $1,000 gas voucher from this promotion yet? I just bought a new Prius yesterday and I was thinking of trying to get one of these vouchers from Ebay. I'd like to make sure it's worth it and it works before buying one off Ebay though. Thanks!

    It says it can take up to 90 days so I doubt anyone has got it yet. I know I haven't.

    Oh OK. Maybe I'll wait a little bit longer then before buying one.

    I mailed mine in last week. I bought on ebay- I did call HSN before dialing in and it seems the offer is legitimate and no you do not have to be a HSN 'member' nor does the person who redeems certificate be the same as the individual who originally ordered the promotional certificate/coffee mug in October.

    I've never seen black center caps. I wonder what that looks like.

    Just got my $1000 in free gas yesterday. They sent me 4 $250 gift cards. I sent in my packet to HSN on October 22nd and received the gift cards via UPS on Jan. 2nd. HAPPY FREAKIN NEW YEAR!

    Does anyone happen to have pictures of the documentation needed from HSN to fulfill the requirements they can post? I bought a package on ebay that came with a Toyota brochure, directions for submitting the offer and a 2 sided paper with order numbers on one side and shipping labels on the other. Is there anything else needed/missing? I just want to make sure I didn't get taken. If I did then I need to file a complaint a.s.a.p. Thanks!

    There should the Toyota Offer Brochure that is like Gloss paper, the original order form, a piece of paper that says thank you from HSN. I think that was it. I sent in only the order form the first time, but it wasnt the original and then my bill of sale and address, but they said that i need the original order summary. I just resent it, but included everything i got in it so no chances.

    I know that Deuce sent in just his bill of sale, the internet printed order summary and the toyota thank you letter, and got his fine.

    ^^Thank you^^
    I did not receive the thank you letter but that shouldn't be an issue. I received a sheet of paper that had return labels on one side and "Package Summary" on the other side. So being a little pessimistic I just called HSN to verify whether the package summary was sufficient. The customer service rep. said the the package summary page was what they needed. So we will see. Thanks again.

    Congrats.

    Next time you're in the car throw a few coins on the passanger floor and drive around for a week before you discard coins.

    It is good luck and you will never have an accident with the car.

    How did HSN ship you the cards? And did they notify you of the shipping so you could be on the look out for them? I would hate to have some random mail clerk/ups/fedex person find my cards. Bonus for them, not so much for me.(n)
