How does Ford Pass Rewards work

KingCakeKid

I've seen lots of references to Ford Pass Rewards, but don't get how it works. Is it just app? Do you have to the Visa Ford Rewards credit card?
Is it really as simple as download an app, buy stuff from Ford, get points, use points?

Definitely download the FordPass app on your phone to keep track of everything on your account. You don’t have to have the credit but if you do you earn points and get a signing bonus. You earn points by purchasing your car, parts , service, etc. you can then use them for service or parts. I just used some for the purchase of rubberized floor mats, sun screen and an oil change. Just tell them up front on the parts and when you pay for your service. All your information will be on the app on your phone.

@TK1215 is correct! Just to add a bit more detail:

You can earn points by doing the following…

• Getting service done at a participating Ford dealer
• Buying a new Ford vehicle
• Attending a Ford event
• Taking advantage of Ford’s special offers (listed in the FordPass app)
• Spending money on a FordPass Rewards VISA (not necessary for the program to work)

And you can redeem those points on service, parts and accessories at a Ford dealer. Soon (end of Jan 2023) you will also be able to redeem those points online too at Ford’s Accessory website.

Point conversion values:

• When you SPEND FordPass points, it is $0.005 per point... or 200 points per dollar.
• When you EARN FordPass points, it is 1 point per every 10¢ spent. Or 10 points per every $1 spent on Ford parts/services.

To keep the points active you have to spend and/or earn at least 1 point per year. If you don’t they will expire.

If you only own one Ford vehicle it’s helpful to get a discount on a higher-value accessory you’ve always wanted or get some discounts on service, but that’s about it. You don’t really earn enough points to make it worth it otherwise.

If you own more than one Ford vehicle it can come in handy big time. Personally, I currently own three Ford vehicles and also have the Rewards VISA. I do all vehicle maintenance myself, so I don’t get discounts on service. But because of FordPass, all of my parts and supplies on my vehicles have been completely free for the past 2-3 years.

Just last week I was at the dealer picking up a paint correction pen for my Bronco (I scratched it 😥 ) and that was also free.

Great explanation!

I purchased a new 2022 Bronco sport last March and I don't have any points. How exactly are they applied? Is there something I need to do?

The points are applied automatically once the vehicle is reported sold by the dealer. Note your FordPass account has to be linked with that sale in order for it to be applied... so you may want to talk to your dealer and see if they did that.

You'll only get them for new vehicles and Ford Blue/Gold Certified used vehicles. So if you bought a non-certified used vehicle (even if it only had a couple-dozen miles on it) you won't get points.

Ok, I bought it new. I'll contact my dealer. Thanks for the info 👍

The Account screen on my FordPass app shows 104,000 points - wonder what I can purchase?

Oil change? Floormats? Connected Navigation? New windshield, maybe?
