Ford CreditWhen buying or leasing a new car, many of us will be introduced to "Ford Credit". This is the internal credit agency for the Ford motor company. Post any questions you may have about the Ford credit process. Comments, concerts, problems should all go here.
2 weeks ago i went to the dallas autoshow. ford had quite the impressive display/exhibition at the very entrance of the convention center (they even had a robot entertaning kids). after seeing everything else, ford was then giving away "Ford Fusion" t-shirts" (i got 3 of them, thanks to my little bro!).
so, ford was then announcing that anyone who "test drives" a new ford will get a $50 mastercard. i gave them my contact info, and yesterday i got the email with the form to fill out and get the dealer code and saleman signature, and they'll send you the mastercard.
so basically go to your next auto show (if you havent' done so already) and check out the ford display.

Did that at the fair last year, had the same stuff there. Didn't hear anything about an autoshow within the last couple of weeks. I work at a Ford dealer about 45 miles out of Dallas.

didn't get a chance. it was "participating dealers only". apparently 5 star ford in dallas wasn't one of them. and the other i didnt' even bother.
oh well. we'll see what other goodies Ford will dish out in the future!
