Basically, you call MB USA at 1800 FOR-MERC (1800-367-6372) and ask for the form, which you fill out and take to a dealer. The dealer verifies the mileage and you send it in.

They send the badge right away, if they have them on hand. I have heard that several members in this group have waited over a month, and were told that they are redesigning the badge.

There is also a lapel pin, which is based on how far you have driven Mercedes vehicles you have owned.

MBCA sells a membership badge that is rather nice, but prone to rust on the inside.
Richard,
Thanks for the info. I found it so helpful, I too have called for my badge. I know for a fact that my car is well over the 250,000 mark, but the odometer broke at 201,000. I have recently fixed the odometer, but how do I prove that to the dealer when I get the form?? Am I up the creek without a paddle until the repaired odometer reaches 250,000???
