This coupon is not a public offering! This is designed to be a random mailer certificate. The only reason any of you even know about this is because of some knowledgeable and helpful people on this forum! To blast Ford for giving you the possibility of an extra $750 off is pure crap. This is a gift, not a constitutional right. The average consumer never hears about these things as ALL manufacturers do this. So when they get one, its like a freebie. Or winning the lotto.

Got three today.
1) 2010 Mustang
2) 2010 Escape
3) 2011 Fiesta
Crap offers except the 0% on the Mustang for 60 months... the 2010 Mustang. Not one with the $750 coupon. BUT. . . my regional rep said she'd get me an exception to extend the offer until the car came in.
I only requested a Mustang brochure. Maybe they're sending me alternatives since they won't send me my Mustang. . .

The coupon is kind of hidden, are you looking through the whole thing??

I don't understand. Why are you not getting the coupons? Are you ordering from Ford.com and checking you intend to buy in 30 Days? I've got 3 of them, all with the coupon. I only requested 2 of them (a 2010 and a 2011 brochure) and the third one was sent to me by a local dealer with the $750 in it.

I completed both the 3rd AND 4th grade on time so I'm almost certain of my reading comprehension skills for this matter. I've also graduated from college.
Yes, I know what a $750 coupon looks like. Yes, I have received them previously. My concern was that if they expire, I need to order more. I did. They didn't come.
I was 3 for 3 (but with expiration dates either passing or approaching) and with the 3 new ones (2 unsolicited), I'm 3 for 6.

I hear you but its still wasteful and inefficient. A better idea would be to put something in the brochure that says "You may qualify for a special offer, call Ford at: XXX-XXX-XXXX for details." You'd call and they'd ask you a few questions and if you qualified they'd enter you right into the system. If they offer you something you don't like you could ask for another offer. Win win for all. Takes the waste and anxiety out on the requesters part.
If you order a brochure and you don't get a coupon, you wouldn't know there was one available! Putting a phone number in it to call and then telling you that you don't qualify for anything is stupid.
Since you found out about this special offer from here, why wouldn't you also follow the advice given here and contact a dealer and see if you qualify rather than being wasteful and continuously odering brochures you really don't want?

I guess I don't follow what is wasteful and inefficient by Ford on this? Maybe its because I have worked 32 hours in the last 36!

Eh, this is probably not even on Ford's radar so not worth arguing about (especially if you only got 4 hours of sleep... ugh). As far as the offers, my dealer told me I'd have to get those special offers through Ford but they'd honor whatever I get. I guess they could try to call Ford for me. I'm still a ways off from getting mine since I just ordered Friday so this isn't a big deal for me right now.

I would say don't worry if you have just ordered your car. You have plenty of time before it gets here to increase your odds of getting it. Good luck! If you don't get it, don't have sour grapes as it is just like Jerry mentioned before, the Lotto.
My game is over, we won! Now I have to study for a certification test I'm taking Friday morning, but I have to work again at 3am tonight!
I just don't understand why its so important for me to inspect school Fire Alarms to make sure they work properly? ......Just kidding! I love my job!

Could someone please post a scan or high resolution picture of one of these coupons? I am trying to get one from someone at Ford and they don't know what I'm talking about and requested a sample one. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
