Has anyone purchased a new Ram using the FCA affiliate pricing program yet? If so could you kindly explain your experiences with it? TIA!
I am in the process of using it. You go on the Affiliate website and put in your info and generate a Control Number and give it to your dealer. You get 1% below invoice and the incentives and Bonus Cash coupon can also be used.Has anyone purchased a new Ram using the FCA affiliate pricing program yet?

The $75 admin fee is ALREADY included in the discounted price. the discounted price is clealy marked on the invoice or the POC sheet. Its the FP or PP price on the invoice. EP is Employee Price. All others are Supplier Pricing and sometimes referred to Friends and Family Pricing.Forgot to add there is a $75 fee for using this program that goes to the dealer.

you don't pay the $75 to the dealer.
Also, keep in mind, Affiliate pricing DOES NOT negate any doc fee the dealer might charge. It does state in the program rules that the dealer can still charge a doc fee.
Sometimes that does happen, dealer discounted price IS cheaper than Affiliate pricing!I took my work badge in to the dealer and we signed in on the affiliate site at the dealer to generate a control number. Printed out POC and the price was the FP, was super easy and got zero push back from the dealer. Tried it the other day at a Jeep dealer for the wife, they showed us the POC with PP price for the program....unfortunately for them they had listed a Grand Cherokee L Overland with a 6.5K Dealer discount on their website (99% sure by mistake) and we, after some heated discussion, got that discounted price, which was about 3k less than the affiliate price.

In your case, that does sound like an error in the website pricing.
Sometimes dealer's have "lumped" pricing on their websites here, where the final advertised price includes ALL rebates, and dealer discount rolled into one discount, and some of those rebates you won't qualify for. Deceptive.
that is the three that some dealers use around here, and its typically the three most don't qualify for, so it inflates the discount, and pi**es people off!So they tried to argue that the "dealer discount" was the 3 available offers, military, disability and chysler prime...which totalled $1500 plus 3.42%. I argued that had nothing to do with their dealer price...we went back and forth a bit, eventually they gave in and gave us the price listed on the website.
