AtleeH Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Question about incentives on ordered vehicles. I ordered a Power Boost based on an incentive of $1500 rebate and 0% interest for 72 months, if I ordered before Sep 7. It was suggested on another Ford truck board that if those incentives weren't in effect when the truck was delivered, I wouldn't get them. Is that correct?

Pardsy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 My understanding is that you have the choice of incentives from when you ordered it and when it arrived. Nothing in between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have changed then (which is a good thing). Pretty sure in the past you had to claim it at order time because a lot of dealers didn’t know about it or just didn’t bother.

jtcdmc Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) In October 2021 I received in the mail an offer that I could obtain a $2000 reward if I purchased a Super Duty Truck. I went in and ordered a Ford Super Duty F-450. The fine print of the Ford reward specifies that you need to place an order or take new retail delivery from an authorized Ford dealer’s stock by 1/3/22. I just received an email stating that the F-450 has been built and is currently being shipped. I went into my local Ford dealership today to firm up the finances of my order and check on the reward. The salesman went to claim the reward in VINCENT using #38266 and wasn’t able to find the reward. Do you have any suggestions on how to claim the $2000 reward?

jtcdmc Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Is there anything that can be done now since the dealership didn't claim the reward at the time of order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 There should be an option in smart Vincent to select either current incentives or incentives at time of order. I saw it posted but can’t remember the details. Worst case try calling Ford directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can find is that it's done when the Dealer registers the customer and deal in Smart Vincent but the process details are only available by viewing related Ford videos. Even the Quick Reference Guide just links to video training. The search function at FMCDealer.com is an effort in futility and generates responses that are 99.9% unrelated to what the user is looking for. And believe it or not, Ford supposedly updated it a few months ago! Edited May 1, 2022 by ice-capades Additional Content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One screen that shows the “Current Incentives” and another screen that shows the “at time of order Incentives” and if they have questions to call Ford directly. I initially thought that “at time of order” meant that the incentive had to be selected when I ordered the vehicle and the reward had expired on 1/3/22.

Just this morning I watched a video on You Tube from Tim at Long McArthur Ford in which he explains Price & Incentive Protection. About 5 minutes in he shows the Smart Vincent screen & the correct check boxes that need to be checked to pull past &/or current incentives & interest rates. It's one screen with different check boxes. I've been waiting for my truck since last October so I'm pretty sure incentives/ rates were better then than now. I hope I understood the question correctly & that this is helpful info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our F450 has been delivered to the dealership and with all of your comments on the forum, we were able to purchase the truck at MSRP when it was ordered and receive the Ford reward discount. We are blessed receiving our truck knowing there are so many earlier customers still waiting for their truck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
