Has anybody got this rebate without having to wait the 30 days?

Thanks

 

Make sure, BEFORE you join AQHA, that their rebate is compatible with others you may be going to use. I couldn't use mine in April because of other rebates.

I used mine in June! Bought a truck from Jeff at Van Bortel.

 

I just signed up for AQHA last week but the customer cash and ford credit cash ends the 31st. If ford makes me wait 30 days for the $500 I am up the creek without a paddle. Does ford verify that is has been 30 days or not?

 

The dealer did with mine, but it didn't matter in the end. If they want your business bad enough, they may work with you. Good luck!!!

How do you know the dealer checked into yours? How did they check?

 

By the date on your membership card.

Does it just list a month or a given day of the month?

 

Mine says "Expires 2/28/05"

I joined the AQHA and my 30 days passed just as my truck was being delivered. I also received $1000 in (dealer cash). The $500 certificates that were discussed in previous threads had expired by the time my truck came in, so the manager got on the phone to ford and told them to find him some kind of money. He came back with a lot of other money offers that he never knew of.

 

Which vehicle did you buy and when? Did they ask you if your aqha membership was over 30 days.

 

The dealer needs to keep a copy of your AQHA membership card with the rest of your paperwork in case Ford audits them. If we give you the rebate, and we can't substantiate that you were a member of AQHA under Ford's rules, then they charge the DEALER back the $500. Not you, but the dealer winds up footing the bill for a rebate you weren't entitled to, so please understand why we can't afford NOT to have the proper paperwork on hand. Mis-handled rebates can cost the dealer a small fortune.

 

F150 XLT 5.4 regular cab. I ordered it. Picked the truck up on April 2. I told them I was a member so they would give me the discount, they need your membership number in case Ford aduits them.

 

Jeff is an invaluable source of information, I couldn't have gotten my deal without him. Thank You Jeff.

 

Chrisj1970,

Oh Great! I just signed up AQHA two days ago! How do you know that the offer ends in 30 days (less than 30 now I guess)? I checked their website for the offer before I decided to join them for the discount and it was still advertised. Doesn't seem right that they can advertise something that won't be valid.
