I am eligible for BMW corporate fleet discount through Founderscard partnership, which in the past was identical to BMW corporate fleet program available through my job but it seems to be different this year. Here’s the program through Founderscard - https://form.jotform.com/90097228072154
Anyone know if these incentives can be added on top of already available lease credits? Looks like the conquest/loyalty cannot be applied. For example, on 340xi 2018 model it’s showing $4,500 and bmw is currently also offering $5,000 lease credit for 2018 340xi. If run a sample in the calculator for a $55,000 MSRP and 61% RV, assuming 10% discount off MSRP and $9,500 in untaxed incentives I get a payment that’s too good to be true.
The payment you’re getting seems too good to be true because it’s not true unfortunately. Just like what @Trato said…Corporate Fleet is a stand alone rebate now. It is not stackable with the Lease Credit, Loyalty or Conquest Rebates. On most models it is better than the lease credit for that particular market but not as good as lease credit + loyalty/conquest.
If you’re in So Cal, feel free to email me at dave.townsend@bmwofmurrieta.com and I’ll get you a better deal than anyone else. There’s plenty of folks on here that can vouch for me.
Thank you all. I am actually in NY, otherwise would have definitely reached out to you.
Looking at the current BMW lease credits/loyalty, there is $6,500 available for a 2019 X6. Is it realistic to get a 10% or above discount off MSRP on 19 X6 and apply the $6,500 taxable lease incentive? I am seeing 11% / 12% discounts folks managed to negotiate, curious if that’s sort of target across all models or certain models.
Based on your experiences, when would 2019 loaner inventory become available?
Unrelated question, is it true that the disposition fee can be waived if you lease another BMW within a month? It was waived for me last time when I returned and picked up a new BMW at the same time.
So I joined the FoundersCard Elite for other benefit reasons but noticed the BMW/Audi discounts. Up to $3k on BMW (7 series) and 6% off Audi (prob. get better discounts yourself unless there is a back end bonus dealer is willing to stack). Below is my referral link, if they give you a free membership with that, it is limited but if you get a $295 upgrade to Elite it is usually one-time at that rate so go for it otherwise its usually $995. YMMV on offer and if it worth it to you, for me it was between the forever hack with Ceasars/Atlantis, free Phone.com for 1 year and others. Here are T&C for BMW:
FoundersCard EDIT: someone reported no free membership offered, not worth it IMO for standard membership for $495.
Curious to hear your experience as you start using it. I asked about FC last year in our private thread about credit cards (before there was a public one), and all thumbs pointed down.
at $295 for elite it was worth a spin. so far saved $180 on phone.com and I needed, even got $45 cashback in bitcoin from Lolli https://www.lolli.com/share/wF5xtRzf7S for getting it for free LOL. 15% on AT&T, and the vegas thing is good as I’m heading early next year. I don’t think BMW or Audi is good unless you don’t have conquest/loyalty or if extended benefits for Audi not disclosed. Also gonna try out stripe since it has $50k in transactions free which is worth about $1500?
Probably not worth $295 on its own, but back when I was a member the negotiated hotel rates were pretty good for (mostly foreign) hotels I would otherwise find myself booking.
I have found the points guy review to be inaccurate as to the spouse card, it is not free with elite until renewal. Overall I think still worth the $295 but I will give more details as I go along.
@Samaudibh can you give more details on Audi affiliate discount at 6% off MSRP, it is like Jeep affiliate where it’s basically 1% more off and you set selling price or is it set it stone?
