NISSAN LEAF AMBASSADOR SCHEME! RANT!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses extreme dissatisfaction with Nissan's handling of their 'Ambassador Scheme,' a referral program for LEAF owners. Despite successfully referring seven individuals, Nissan rejected the referral bonuses, initially citing two fleet sales and then claiming all sales were made under an 'employee discount' code (sales code E) which invalidates referrals. The reviewer argues this is a systemic issue, with dealerships allegedly selling most LEAFs under this code, rendering the ambassador scheme impossible to benefit from. This, coupled with Nissan's prolonged and dismissive communication (taking months to resolve the issue and ignoring multiple contact attempts via email and Twitter), has severely soured the reviewer's perception of the brand. The reviewer also highlights a lack of engagement from Nissan's PR team regarding their YouTube channel, contrasting it with a positive interaction with Jaguar's PR. Ultimately, the reviewer feels scammed and ignored, impacting their future purchasing decisions and urging others to share their experience.
