It's when I did them and did them for nothing, just as you say. I have, in fact, done business with a Yamaha dealer from Iowa and one from Milwaukee: same thing each time. They want to use that $35 Yamaha pays to pay for the "free" tuning and that card is just something you mindlessly check the boxes on and sign. Welcome to the real world. I don't know what the local Yamaha dealer pays its tuners but whatever it is, you can be sure it's not enough to cover what Yamaha really expects to be done. I don't do any business with that dealer, never have, never will. I don't recommend them, they don't recommend me. It's the "K-mart" type music store around here. People who really value music and their piano do not get one there. The only exception has been when someone really wanted a Yamaha. In any of the cases I have seen, the service bond has never been done by that dealer's tuners. To quote a recent customer, "That free tuning they give you is a joke". I have my own customers and do independant contracting for a respectable dealer, one who will give a presentation in Reno: Timothy Farley RPT. If only all dealers could be like Tim and Roger from this list, the world would be a different place. Wishing for that however would be as unrealistic as actually believing the hype that the Yamaha dealer from Madison wrote.
