I've gotten two Golden Tickets. The first one i got included a 50 dollar test drive bonus that came December of last year and was good until January 2nd of this year. The second came this year and is good until February 28th, however the ETA on my Rubicon is 3/2 to 3/6. It is presently being rail shipped to Idaho. I messaged Jeep Cares asking if the offer could be extended and they are passing it along.

I signed up for emails at the Fall 2017 Off Road Show in Pomona Ca.

Its like FCA is purposely playing around. People who are getting the Golden Ticket can't use it due to their ETA, and people who are ready to use it, aren't even receiving the damn thing.

If you have the time, flood jeep.com with your brochure requests AFTER you have your locked-in order. I did it the last six weeks before the JK arrived. I did get a Golden Ticket for $500.

I had a good long discussion with a representative when I called the incentive hotline in a last ditch effort the day before going to pick up my Jeep. Basically, I was told that because I was a member of Sam’s Club and they offer FCA incentives, that I would not be selected for a golden ticket. I complained that the incentives offered through Sam’s Club do not include Wranglers and he just reiterated that if you are eligible for incentives through a membership, employment, etc. it was very unlikely that you would get a golden ticket. It sucks, but at least I know there’s nothing I could have done.

Happy to report I got my $500 check in the mail from my dealer last night. Downside is I had to pay taxes on that $500, but at least I got it.

Thanks for the info regarding being eligible for other discounts. I work for a FCA supplier and was trying hard to get one of these tickets, unfortunately my wife also works at the same place so we would both be unlikely to get one. Now I can stop this futile effort and just accept not being able to get a ticket.

Interesting. I have an affiliate code through work and I've gotten a lot of Golden Tickets.

I am sure there customer data is good but I doubt it is good enough to figure out if you are eligible some other way.

And it does not restrict the use of Golden Ticket with an affiliate code.

So this just doesn't really add up.

I qualify for the military discount of $500, I'm wondering if the Golden Ticket would be permitted or if it's considered the same. BTW...old timer here....Great site!

You can use your military discount with the golden ticket. Thank you for your service!

I think it tracks mailers. Sam’s has sent us stuff in the mail before. When I called that was the only incentive they had on record that was sent to me. If your employer doesn’t send out FCA offers through the mail, that may be the difference. Who knows?

Interesting, how did you get a check, mine was a code used by the dealer for $500 discount? Why was yours a check?
Because my dealer was super paranoid about it being able to be applied to the JL, so they submitted it to FCA and cut me a check when they got theirs.
