I assume you are only eligible for this if your Jeep has been delivered, correct? I’m not eligible if I’m still waiting on an order to be delivered even if I have a VIN, correct?
I think you have to wait until you have purchased the vehicle.

I will say that IF you get the check this is absolutely worth it. I've been fighting with Bonus Drive since January because they somehow rejected my application, they even admitted on the phone it was their fault. So they then proceed to tell me it'll be another 8-12 weeks. I've been through three different 8-12 week periods waiting for this damn check. It's an absolute joke that companies like this can have this kind of service. I guess maybe next year I may finally see a check.

I wonder if it would do any good to complain to Fiat about this, as this is the go to excuse for Bonus Drive, that they are "waiting" on Fiat to do the processing. Very frustrating!

Just applied for mine. Can't believe my employer was actually on the list. It's down to $250 but hey, that's bonus money towards upgrades.

Update for those interested 7/16/2018. I was contacted by a Bonus Drive Supervisor ( not the clones on the phone ). He resolved my issue and fast tracked my check, I had the check as of yesterday, and deposited it. Again I will way that this is a great deal IF your application goes through with zero issues. Unfortunately, I had every issue known to man, and dealing with the Bonus Drive people via email and on the phone was an extremely frustrating experience. I will say that the supervisor I dealt with was very nice, and handled my situation very quickly and professionally. I just don't understand why Bonus Drive employees who deal with their customers don't / can't / or are unable to provide precise details on the status of any application. Transparency is always the best policy, but so many companies just fail to follow that policy.

Ultimately, I'm very happy to get my $500 I'm just sad it took 6 1/2 months to get it from my order/buy date.

So we can't get this anymore unless we own a non FCA vehicle?

I believe the whole point is having a competing vehicle in the family and you've always have had to show proof of another model at the same house hold.

Got my $250 check yesterday.

Just checked "eligibility" and seems like all my credit unions were removed. Its nearly impossible to get it if applying today.

I purchased 4/7, just submitted my Bonus Drive app last week. I traded in my JK for the new JL and used my wife's Mini as the "proof of conquest" vehicle in the household, everything looks good amazingly enough.
