Ford Pass Rewards Points - New Program
Just got an email from Ford, new program for Ford Pass Reward points.
Says now you can use your points to pay for connected services, like navigation, and their new streaming service, which sounds suspiciously like rebranded siriusxm, which I was also notified by email that you can now pay for with Ford Pass points.
I asked about all of this way back when I first bought my truck and had 75,000 points, whether you could use them to pay for connected services, and they told me no.
I guess enough people have been asking for this that they finally got around to making it happen.
So, connected nav costs $80 a year, which adds up to 16,000 points, I have 32,440 points left, so could do 2 years of nav.
But, the only thing I really miss about connected nav is the weather radar, the rest of the nav really sucks.
Been using android auto with google maps, which is better than Ford nav, but really only because you can get satellite view, which I REALLY LIKE, but the rest of google maps isn't much better than Ford nav.
The rest of the changes to the rewards has to do with how new rewards are earned, very little of which I care much about.
What I would really like is if there was a simple way to mirror my phone screen, that would take care of most of what I want as far as infotainment on my truck's media screen.

On my Lariat, connected nav was a 3 month trial, then I paid for a year, but it isn't worth it, not doing it anymore.

Ford did, maybe your dealer didn't get it done for you, all new Super Duty's diesels got 75,000 points with the purchase, at least the 2022's did.

Got 40k points for each of the two 2022’s I bought. The local Ford/Ram/Jeep dealership will let me use my near 100k points on any service for any vehicle. So I’m going to use them to change trany fluid/filter and transfer case fluid on our Jeep. Two jobs I rather not do myself.

Definitely not going back to that dealer again. Ford has them to thank for me buying a ~50k Toyota this year.

But, yeah, dealer gets their money back from Ford for any parts or service you buy from them, so they are happy to let you use the points for any vehicle they work on.
Trans fluid change is a good idea to use points for, my truck is coming up on fluid change time, guess I'll save my points to put against that.
