This past week I decided it was time to add another Jeep to the family and purchased a 2013 Rubicon Unlimited. While at the dealership the told me that there was a military discount for retired military. Caveat; I'm medically retired because of injuries I sustained in Iraq a few years ago. After I received my Purple Heart, they retired me and sent me on my way. After the dealership took a look at my ID, they told me that in order to receive that discount ($500 off) I had to complete 20 years of service. This is a Jeep policy and not the dealership so I've got no hard feelings towards them. They are simply repeating what corporate guidelines have been set forth to them.
I took the time and wrote Jeep customer service about the issue, basically stating that I shouldn't be denied the discount because I was combat injured and retired. Retired is retired, we all have the same blue ID card. The reply I received was nothing more than a copy and paste of who they give the discounts to, obviously missing was combat vets.
Last night I posted up on their FB site putting the situation out there for all to see. I'm hoping that someone actually reads it and changes some of their policies. I think it's terrible that they would deny the military discount to service members who were forcibly retired due to combat injury.
Just an FYI if anyone else has the same situation.

Right from the Jeep Website. Good thru Jan 2, 2013. This is an addition to the normal 500 off for active and retirees.

Glad it worked out for you! I can't stand people that can't see how to get to yes when a policy doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, they seem to be the majority in large organizations.
Another tidbit for the Active guys, it is a violation of Federal Law to provide a photo copy of your CAC/ID Card. I still got my rebate and basically told the F&I manager to pack sand and tell corporate they can't require it (after thoughtfully providing her the reference).

Correct, but if you are retired the discount is $500 and six free oil changes. That is not listed on their site, but the dealerships have that paperwork
