Visa Card Means a “Rewarding” Experience for Owners of a Chrysler, Jeep® or Dodge
Farmington Hills, Mich. — Buying and maintaining a Chrysler, Jeep® or Dodge vehicle can be a rewarding experience, especially if the expenses are charged on the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge Rewards Visa® credit cards.
Customers using the Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge-branded Visa cards earn one Rewards Point for each dollar spent during everyday transactions, but the rewards jump to five points for each dollar spent at a participating Chrysler Group dealerships.
“Customers with one of our affinity credit cards can rack up substantial savings — more than $6 million in points have been used in the dealership on service and parts,” said Kelly Mankin, Vice President Chrysler Brands Marketing for Chrysler Financial. “We wanted all aspects of using our credit cards to be simple and, of course, rewarding.”
The credit card program is offered by Chrysler Financial in partnership with Bank of America. The card is free of all annual fees and provides 2,500 Bonus Rewards Points after the first purchase. Points are redeemable for Dealer Dollars Certificates, obtainable online, which can be used at participating dealerships to:
- Purchase or lease a new, used or Five Star Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle
- Pay for maintenance, repair or collision services at the dealership
- Buy Mopar® Parts and Accessories
- Purchase Chrysler Group Service Contracts
- Purchase select Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge branded merchandise
Rewards Points can also be redeemed toward:
- Chrysler Financial monthly payments
- Acquisition or disposition charges
- Over-mileage charges at lease end
- Excess wear and tear charges at lease end
“Our customers use the card in their everyday life and the rewards mean potentially reduced costs in owning their vehicles,” said Mankin. “Today, with the ever escalating costs of daily living, we are thrilled to help make their ownership of vehicles like the Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Nitro and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited an even more satisfying, pleasurable and — even — rewarding experience.”
