So with all that’s going on Ford is now ONLY offering their Veteran Discount of $500.00 only to retirees, active duty and Veterans within 24 months of discharge. THANK YOU FOR FOR DISRESPECTING MY VIETNAM SERVICE IN 1970 and 1971 AND THE FIVE MONTHS I SPENT IN A NAVAL HOSPITAL IN CHARLESTON SC in 1972. Are you kidding me? I’ve purchased at least 9 or 10 brand new Fords since i got out in 1973. Thank you for adding to the stress that me and EVERY Veteran I know who is being triggered by world events at the moment. How DARE YOU declare us not worthy of your 500 dollars Veterans Offer. I promised my Wife this truck but this is the LAST Ford I will ever purchase, again! Perfect timing Ford, we, at this moment, are stressed for our Brothers and Sisters in Arms whose PTSD in ALL of us is flaring beyond all belief. Spending time thinking about her truck is a distraction for all of us, takes our minds off the real world. GREAT TIMING FORD, JUST ANOTHER SLAP IN THE FACE TO ALL OF US.

Thank you for your service.

Yea its kinda lame not to give the discount to all prior service members. Anyhow, you can probably get a better discount from one of the 4% below invoice guys anyways, if you don't mind a bit of a road trip.

I was in ‘Viet Nam in ‘70 and ’71 also but don’t begrudge the current vets from getting a break for there “current“ service. Good on Ford.

And thank you for your service!

I got the $500 Veteran Discount from Ford by using my ID.me account. I've been out of the Air Force since 2007 so I'm waaaaaaaay past that 24 month criteria. I printed out my coupon and took it to my dealership when I did my down payment and he said it will get used when we do the paperwork. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Of course not!!!!! But don't forget us. Remember what WE went through when we got home? No welcoming committees thanking us for our service either. All of our Brothers and Sisters in Arms deserve the same, no matter when or where we serviced. That was my point. But thank you for your well earned point of view. Lou

No I read that today at the Ford.com website. You should check it out. My dealer told me the same thing, I've purchased 5 Fords from them. But that's what the Ford website says.

I need to add that I got this information at the Ford.com website today (09/01/2021) I always received my discount on my previous purchases. This is the new Ford requirements. My dealer was assuming that the plan was the same because they told me that I would get it. But not according to Ford. I just wanted to clarify that so no one thought I was following some random guys posts. Thank you

Thanku

Thank you, so does being a lifetime VFW Member count? I'll check it out. And I like id.me too. So much easier to get discounts online. But remember Ford Corp. says who qualifies
No. But DAV member does. I did that. 300 to get 1k off. Still 200 more than the old Ford 500 discount.

I went to this website and used my ID.me to login and receive a email from them stating that I will receive a $500 Bonus Cash Offer. Like I said earlier I've been out of the Air Force since 2007.
