FYI: Tread Lightly Discount Signup Summary (FCA Program)

[wooderson]

Just make sure you have your membership card when you go to the dealer, or the control number will be useless.

Thanks I got my control number.

So I ordered an LE on the 4th. Called FCA to get my PIN and they said it would not be honored for a JT at this time.

I need to discuss with the dealer.

I was scrolling through the FCA Affiliate list looking for "MEMBERS" since I knew my employer would not be on this list. I came across the Access Fund here in Colorado which appears to be an advocacy group for climbers. Cheapest membership is $35, which looks like it is sufficient for the FCA pricing:

This is the program I signed up for too...figured if FCA doesn’t honor affiliate pricing on the Gladiator, better to be out of pocket $35 vs $100.

I am an official member as well. Got my t-shirt, sticker, and CN paperwork today. So exciting, can’t wait to place my order.

So no need to sign up for this. Discount won’t be honored if you ordered launch edition. Is that what they told you?

You should check with your dealer. They do honor 1% off the agreed upon price not necessarily the 1% below Invoice. I had agreed to a price that is 3% below MSRP for the LE and my dealer said that he would take an additional 1% off with Tread Lightly FCA program. So, you should get some discounts and I was happy that I am not paying MSRP and with this my price comes to an almost Invoice price... At this moment, I am trying to convince my dealer to accept the national rewards and discounts of $500 etc on top of the already agreed upon discounts .

So I had a conversation with both Chrysler and my local dealer. Chrysler will not honor the tread Lightly discount for any LE edition but may honor on future orders. My dealer called the zone rep and he confirmed.

If your dealer is offering a discount—good for you—take it and be happy!

You are not wrong, with one caveat: you have to make sure the dealer you are using will honor the Affiliate Pricing on that order. Dealerships are not required to accept AR on any vehicle, let alone a high-demand, launch edition like this one. The best dealers will, but just be sure to confirm AR pricing when you place your order.

I think you also need to have been a member for at least 30 days before going to the dealer to pick up your vehicle. Which shouldn't be a problem considering we are probably are not going to have Gladiators physically available, sooner than that.

I've been told by my Regional FCA Rep that no SUPPLIER/AFFILIATE/FRIENDS/EMPLOYEE pricing on ANY Gladiators regardless if its an LE or other trim. He said for at least a few months, maybe longer.

Most dealers aren't aware of this, and so they think they can sell it for these prices and get reimbursed when in fact they won't.

So there's a lot of folks who think they're getting these amazing deals, not realizing that might not be the case when they pick up their Gladiator.

HOPEFULLY THIS IS WRONG, but so far it seems to be correct.

Also, just because it says FFP/PP and EP on the invoice/shipper doesn't mean theres an actual program for those prices, Hellcats have those as well, and they weren't honored on them for a while.

What do you mean by "reimbursed" for dealers? If they sell it for invoice then in theory they make the holdback on the vehicle still. Are you saying that dealers get reimbursed by the manufacturer when they sell below MSRP? Couldn't a dealer just ignore the affiliate program and choose to sell a vehicle at invoice price? The conflicting info (like my dealer saying they'll honor affiliate, plus I think those that posted like Travis said they'd honor it but not do the low 5-7% below MSRP on a LE) in the forum is annoying.

I received a letter the other day with a sticker, a couple of discount cards, and a membership number. No t shirt (which is fine), but I want to make sure I'm good-
My letter says I'm Club level ($100) and has a membership number, but says nothing about getting a control number, or lists the 1% discount?

My letter has all that Information at the bottom under the membership managers signature.

Mine has $100 level benefits listed there as well, just does not mention the 1% discount anywhere in the literature.
Do I have to wait the 30 days first, then ask for a control number and company code? It just gave me a membership number with no other info. It just doesn't seem like I got a similar package-

Under the members Benefits, it should say FCA Affiliate Rewards: then all the information you are looking for
