Default I got one

Within a month of purchase this past November. My car— CPO 2018 T4GTS.

Very nice packaging, overall presentation. Thank you letter, CPO warranty information, book and pen. Commensurate with quality and caliber of purchase—- but more important, Porsche’s desire to maintain a relationship.

I may have to reach out to my friends at Corporate then! I'm bummed that we didn't get anything on our new car purchase. We have on our previous Porsche purchases....

I purchased a 2014 CPO in late November and received the welcome package in mid December. It sounds as if your dealer did not communicate the purchase to Porsche.

I've received all the standard, "welcome to your new car" emails from Porsche, so they know about. Just no swag.

Especially with the holiday mail back-ups, it can take quite some time to arrive. I've had CPO and new car welcome packages arrive a good few months after purchase. The card isn't required to utilize CPO benefits; it'll be in the dealer's computer. You could also try to register with login.porsche.com to see what's up; that will tell you whether your car has been registered and your CPO status. Finally, the dealer may have made a mistake with your information. For example, I am most definitely not an astronaut (see image)

But the watch most certainly implies that you are.

LOL nice catch... sadly it's sapphire not Hesalite so there's your giveaway - rated for race tracks and not for spaceflight.
Maybe the Speedy pro would have been more on-point if they mixed up my name with Buzz Alrdrin

I bought my ‘15 CPO GTS in June of 2019. The welcome kit arrived shortly there after, but I never got my subscription to Christophorus. Given that it was 18 months ago, I just assumed I would not be getting it, and was not worried about it enough to reach out to Porsche.

But today in the mail, issue 4/2020 arrived. I am not sure if this is a one-off that Porsche sent out or if there were 18 months late on starting my subscription.

I'm not as much of a watch guy as I'm sure others are on this forum, but I have certainly been eyeing a Speedmaster for some time... I may actually end up selling my JLC Ultra thin Moon and replacing it with a Speedmaster... (I love the JLC but find I never wear it). The trick is convincing myself I won't someday replace the Speedmaster with a Daytona.

I bought my CPO 911 in August and called Porsche around October/ November to follow up on the Welcome Kit. Got it shortly after. They did mention that they stopped sending them due to Covid for awhile.

here is my post of the Welcome Kit:

I bought a Used CPO 991.1 on 11/1/2020. I received a welcome package about two weeks ago.

In addition to the pen, also received a very nice hard bound book titled “The Porsche Principle” which is now on my coffee table much to my wife’s displeasure. I also now have actual confirmation via letter that my CPO has been registered with PCNA. I actually think it is a nice gesture. I have bought many used cars over the years and Porsche is only company that has done this......but it should for the price.
