Automakers Boost Loyalty Discounts Amid Coronavirus
The Coronavirus has impacted vehicle production and is expected to have a significant impact on sales, but some manufacturers have announced new discounts to keep customers loyal. For example, Hyundai introduced a $1,000 Valued Owner Coupon last week for customers buying or leasing a 2020 Santa Fe, and with the 2020 Sonata, this can be combined with 0 percent APR for 60 months and no payments for 90 days. Similarly, Honda is offering a $1,000 loyalty discount across nearly its entire lineup, which can come out to substantial savings when combined with other incentives. Other brands offering loyalty discounts include Acura ($500 discount when buying instead of leasing), Volvo (discount varieties by region), and Mercedes-Benz ($1,000 loyalty discount on most models).

McDonald’s Temporarily Pulling Its All-Day Breakfast Menu
McDonald’s is pulling its all-day breakfast menu to simplify operations as the Coronavirus outbreak strains restaurant operations. “To simplify operations in our kitchens and for our crew, and ensure the best possible experience for our customers, we are working with our franchisees and local restaurants to focus on serving our most popular choices and will begin temporarily removing some items from the menu over the next few weeks,” Bill Garrett, the senior vice president of McDonald’s U.S. operations, said in a statement. McDonald’s all-day breakfast many launched in October 2015 and helped fuel McDonald’s turnaround. However, within the last year, franchisees have been allowed to whittle down their all-day breakfast offerings to speed up service times.
