Hi,

What is the requirement for the Military $500 rebate?

Thanks
John

 

Active full-time serviceman with ID card.

 

Polarbear,

Thanks for that info. Can you tell us if this applies to all vehicles? I was inquiring with a dealer down here in MS about a '05 Harley F-250 and they said that promotion did not apply to that particular vehicle.

 

Copied from the program:

Ford Division is announcing the Second Quarter 2005 Military Appreciation Program (PGM#31106) for:

- All new 2004/2005/2006-Model Car, SUV, and Truck through 550 (Excl. 2004/2005-Model F-SuperDuty Harley, 2005-Model Ford GT, and 2005/2006-Model Escape Hybrid)
- Active Military Personnel (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard), National Guard, and Reservists who are residents of the United States.

- Qualifying buyers will receive $500 Bonus Cash good toward the purchase or lease of any new 2004/2005/2006-Model Car, SUV, and Truck through 550 (Excl. 2004/2005-Model Mustang Cobra, 2004/2005-Model Harley, 2005/2006-Model Ford GT, and 2005-Model Escape Hybrid)

- Effective April 5, 2005 through June 30, 2005

 

Thanks PB - that 'splains it!

 

Thanks Polarbear.

So National Guard is entitled then?

I have signed with the Dealer and they told me National Guard was not entitled to the $500 Rebate. Also I have already recieved the truck.

Now, how do I go about getting my $500 that I should have recieved? I showed, ID and LES.

Thanks,
John

 

Whenever you have a question about rebates, just give us the VIN and your ZIP code, and we (Polarbear and myself) will be glad to tell you EXACTLY what you qualify for. We LIVE to make other dealers' lives miserable!

 

Ok thanks Jeff,

VIN - 1FTW32P65EC66816
Zip - 65802

That $500 would pay for the taxes and tags.

But I did recieve $2500 and a $500 Home Depot so maybe I cannot get the military as well.

Also how do I go back and get it once the deal is done and delivered? Do I call Ford

Thanks
John

 

The Home Depot and Military aren't compatible, if you spend about 20 minutes reading the fine print of the two programs. Ask me why I know this.

 

Well, I just ran a smartVINCENT dated yesterday, and it shows Home Depot AND Military rebates are compatible on that truck, based on your ZIP code. You go back to the dealer, they'll apply for it and Ford will mail you a check. You have up to 360 days after you take delivery to claim a rebate you were entitled to but didn't receive at delivery. PM me if you need documented proof.

 

Thanks Jeff!

So how you know that

 

Jeff- my bad...Military isn't compatible with any other private offer.
