Alternator Core Credit?

I just replaced the alternator in my 1997 Mercury Mountaineer (160,000 miles). For interest, I looked at the prices of OEM alternators on some of the online Ford parts sites. Interestingly, it seems that they all give a core credit once the old alternator is returned. I assume that dealers also get a similar credit. How often do dealers pass along this credit to their customers? From my invoice, there is no evidence of any sort of core credit.

You will not see a core credit from a dealer or repair shop, the price of the alt is with exchange. If you wanted to keep your old alt they will add the cost of the core to your bill.
