Owners of four or more Tamron lenses that register them with Tamron are now members of a new VIP program. The basic program (currently US only) includes:
- A welcome gift
- Tamron magazine (three issues a year)
- A bonus rebate on any new Tamron lens
- A 50% discount on any Tamron event (other than summit)
- A discount on non-warranty repairs
The program has three levels, with Silver being for 4 lenses, Gold being for 5 lenses, and Platinum being for 6 lenses owned. The Gold level adds a free pass to a Tamron event and an invitation to participate in a VIP contest. The Platinum level adds a t-shirt, LL Bean vest, an extra pass to a Tamron event, lifetime warranty repair, free shipping on repairs, loaners, invitation to a Tamron Workshop Summit, and a chance to b profiled on the Tamron Web site.
