Many EAA members have received special savings through Ford Motor Company’s Partner Recognition Program. The program gives members the ability to purchase or lease eligible vehicles at Ford’s X-Plan pricing and save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on select new Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, and Volvo vehicles (certain vehicles excluded).

Those eligible must be an annual or divisional EAA member for at least 30 days, and household members are also eligible with a valid driver’s license proving their household status. However, if visitors become an EAA member at AirVenture this week and would like to purchase a vehicle using the Partner Recognition benefit, the 30-day requirement is waived.

The program allows those eligible to purchase or lease two vehicles per year. Plus, members are eligible for all public incentives in addition to Partner Recognition pricing, although some offers many not be compatible.

The Partner Recognition website, within the EAA website, provides vehicle, pricing, financing, and information needs. There are also links to locate retailers in your area; X-Plan pricing and incentives; discounts on Team Ford Racing memberships; detailed information regarding the program process and rules; and frequently asked questions.

Stop by the EAA Welcome Center to receive your PIN or to get more information. You can also sign up through the EAA members-only website, http://Members.EAA.org. After logging in, click on the Partner Recognition link on the left side of the page.
