Two per calander year
I'll be in Hawaii in a couple months, having my JLUR bought through Criswell but courtesy delivered through Cutter. Courtesy delivery is gonna cost me $1000 but I'm getting 8% off invoice with the tread lightly from Criswell plus the military cash so that makes the courtesy delivery a minor issue.
They can just re-run your TL discount at the dealer if it's after that 1 month date, you've got until the end of the year to use it but the dealer has to get a new code, that's what happened w/ us back in January.
Somehow, Leon at Criswall in MD said that the TL discount could used before the 30 day mark.. i'm not sure how they work it on the backend in finance, if somehow FCA just cuts them a check for 1% later, or what... but he told me not to worry if my Jeep arrived before the 30 day mark, and that he would not hold up my delivery for it.
Update, dealer wont allow it, delivered and waiting till the 21st , so likely the 25th.
I joined Tread Lightly with a $100 on-line registration on May 10, 2019. I received my membership packet in the mail today, May 20th (10 days later). As soon as you receive your packet, you go online to the FCA Affiliates program and sign up to receive your Control Number. You will need to provide the Company Code that is on your Tread Lightly Membership Letter. This is where you receive your Control Number and you will need to print it off. The 30 day delay is from the date you join Tread Lightly, NOT from the date you receive your Control Number. So, in my example, I will be able to take advantage of the Tread Lightly discount on/about June 9 or 10, 2019. Hope this helps!
I wouldn't request the control number right away. They are time sensitive and expire. Request it once you find the jeep you want on the lot or your order arrives.
Hmmm... I just called the FCA Affiliate Reward Program at 888-444-4321 and asked if the Control Number I received today was time sensitive. I was told mine would expire on January 2, 2020. So it does look like there is a certain amount of time sensitivity to it (over 6 months), since it expires less than a year from now. But, I am hoping to make a deal prior to 01-02-2020.
I bought a 2019 JLUR and a 2019 RAM last year. Just looked at my control numbers and it looks like they expire at the end of the calendar year. This would be why mine were only valid for a month and a month and a half. Just be careful with orders as some get help up quite some time.
