The FordPass rewards program has proven to be a big success over the past few years, and for good reason – chiefly, it presents Ford vehicle owners with several benefits. Users can earn points by purchasing vehicles or bringing them in for service or maintenance, which can then be redeemed for discounts on service, parts and accessories, and even vehicles, in addition to receiving invitations for special offers, promotions, and events. On top of that, FordPass Reward users bring their vehicles to Ford dealers for service twice as often as non-users, as Ford Authority previously reported, which is also great news for The Blue Oval. Now, sources familiar with the matter have told Ford Authority that FordPass rewards points can be redeemed online starting next week, continuing the expansion of that particular program.
Starting on January 30th, 2023, users can redeem their FordPass rewards points at the automaker’s official accessories site, as well as Lincoln’s accessories web site. Doing so is rather easy, too, as owners must simply log into the site to both earn and redeem their points toward the purchase of all sorts of goodies for their Blue Oval models.
Previously, owners had to visit their local dealership to redeem these points toward the purchase of accessories, but this move gives them a more convenient alternative that also figures to drive more accessory sales moving forward. Additionally, those that choose to have their preferred Ford or Lincoln dealer install those parts and accessories can also do so when checking out, though FordPass points will only cover the cost of accessories and installation – not shipping, taxes, or other fees.
This is just another convenient option for FordPass users, who gained the ability to utilize the company’s pickup and delivery service following the completion of a pilot program back in 2021, in which 100,000 owners utilized that particular service for maintenance and repair visits.

It was a bit early for folks on the West Coast.
A potentially useful feature.
Along with a couple of minor updates.
The trucks will replace the base's aging fleet.
It'll join a quickly growing segment.
The group is concerned about the 'uncertainty' of tariff expansions.

Maybe we could use the points to purchase microchips that were unavailable and resulted in options being deleted from the vehicles being ordered?
Ford Pass is one of the biggest rip off scams Ford ever came to with. The previous dealer based loyalty program was much better.
I used my 6000 points and only got 30 bucks. Leave it to Ford to come to with a system that makes customers angrier when they use it.
I love the pass points we get i have used them to get a lot of nice things FREE
Here we are, it's Jan 30th 2023, and there's no way to redeem fordpass points online. I waited to order based on this article's false claims. Time to head to the dealer.
Same Here. Will try tommorow, see what happens.
Here it is 2 days after we're supposedly able to use the points on Ford's accessories website.
I tried this morning and the only payment methods that I saw available were credit card.
I called customer service twice, I was told the 6th, still nothing as of the 7th, today I was told they have no idea when the points will work online. Agent said give it a few more days. :/
Been trying every day since 1/30, multiple times a day, and no change. No mention of a delay or that it should be changing in the first place from any direct Ford source. Missed out on the 18% coupon the site had until 1/31. Hoping they have it working before the current 15% coupon expires.
I notice the article says “Now, sources familiar with the matter have told …” so has there been any official announcement of this or is it just rumor and hope?
I called Ford Chat on 1/31 (last day of the 18% off coupon and day after this was supposed to launch). Was told they were experiencing delays, which if anyone purchased a Bronco (I had a 2 year delay) knows this is typical. I was given a case # that I could use when this actually goes live and am supposed to be able to get the 18% off at that time. We shall see, but I'm not overly optimistic.
Feb 4th. Still nothing...
Redemption works as of 2/8/2023 12 Noon. Very small type

Yes, I just saw the same thing - a small print “or use points” reference under the item prices and cart total. In checkout, if you are logged in to your Ford account, there is also a checkbox to redeem points, with options to specify the points quantity for partial coverage or the full purchase amount.
