Ford rewards "points"

[SR5BART]

I have 13500 left after my sun shade purchase. Might just go in and grab some oil filters. How do they pull up your points at the dealer? I haven't been back in since i bought the car.

I wouldn't either...I'm talking Mobil ONE full synthetic in a five quart jug 24.99 lol....A 6 quart oil full synthetic change should be about 65 not 130...The dealer IS up charging...ar he was...can't wait for the survey lol...

Ever hear of labor?

I got 31,000 points for my car purchase in March.

Not sure what I'm going to spend it on yet. I guess a few hats or t-shirts. I do my own maintenance and purchase most of my parts, including motorcraft oil from RockAuto. I have all of the accessories for my car I need.

Cost of an oil change in the Bay Area, 10 qts full synthetic is about $180. In this market, Ford dealers actually sell parts above Ford's MSRP, it's standard practice. If you want to pay MSRP you have to order it on the Ford website and pick it up at the dealer. Even with shipping Rockauto's prices are well below MSRP. I buy in bulk. While I appreciate the gesture, Ford points offer little value to me.

I'm not complaining about the prices. That's what it costs to live here. I'm blessed to still be able to crawl under my car at my age. Even though I can easily afford it. For me it's just the principle.
