Volkswagen Dieselgate Scandal – USA To Introduce Goodwill Campaign

It is unconfirmed, but Volkswagen USA is reported to be about to introduce a “TDI Goodwill” program, which will see monetary rewards for customers in order to smooth over relations following the ‘dieselgate’ emissions saga.

The Truth About Cars (TTAC) claims the reward is to take the shape of two prepaid debit cards or similar, loaded up with between US$500 and US$750 (AU$709 and $1064) in value and offered to customers with the offending diesel-powered engines in their cars.

The first US$500 card is essentially a gift, and can be spent anywhere the debit card is accepted. 

Volkswagen would reportedly limit the use of the second card to its own dealer network, but the prepaid amount could be anywhere from US$500 to US$750.
