Understanding Point Values and Expiration

Your FordPass Rewards points have real dollar value:

Important: As of January 1, 2024, your FordPass Rewards points expire after two consecutive calendar years of account inactivity. To keep your points active, you must either earn new points, redeem existing points, or complete eligible point activities during this period. Simply opening the FordPass app doesn’t count as activity to prevent expiration.

• Receive 30,000-42,000 bonus points when purchasing or leasing a new Ford

Members in higher tiers earn even more:
