FCA Adds $1,000 Bonus Certificate to DrivePlus Mastercard
Fiat Chrysler and First Bankcard announced that customers who sign up for the DrivePlus Mastercard will get $1,000 toward the purchase or lease of a new FCA vehicle.
OMAHA, Neb. — FCA US LLC and First Bankcard, a division of First National Bank of Omaha, have announced the addition of a $1,000 bonus certificate toward a future purchase or lease of a new FCA US vehicle to their co-branded FCA DrivePlus Mastercard. The companies marked the renewal of their partnership to issue co-branded credit cards under the Chrysler, Dodge, FIAT, Jeep, Ram, and Mopar brands.
Executives said the addition of the $1,000 bonus certificate to the FCA DrivePlus Mastercard strengthens an already rich package of automotive rewards designed to help drivers with the cost of ownership and dealers to close more sales and increase customer loyalty. Cardholders can earn unlimited rewards on everyday purchases, with double reward redemption at FCA US dealerships toward a new vehicle down payment, Mopar service, repair, or accessory purchase.
“DrivePlus offers industry leading rewards for our customers while helping dealers reach and retain new shoppers who will visit their showrooms again and again,” said Jeff Kommor, vice president of FCA US’s Sales & Fleet Operations division.
