You can use them for accessories or service. If you need an oil change or tires rotated you can do that. You don't have to use all the points, once you use them for an item it'll carry over. Heck just get an air filter for now so they don't go to waste.

You can buy stuff at the dealer. Some dealers seem to be clueless, but many of us here have been able to purchase accessories, and you can also use them for service.

Value wise their worth about $210.00. You can use them at any Ford dealer that will accept them and order parts or accessories for you.
Lots of feed back from members that most will but some won't honor or order for you.
They cannot be converted to actual $$$, meaning you can't "cash" them in, and you can't use them for on line purchases from Ford on-line vendors.
Also, if your selling dealer is a good one, and will work with you, they may match the lowest prices you may find on line. As an example I used mine for a swing away storage box for the bed. Retails for $220 or so, but some on line dealers had it for $190. My parts guy matched it. So just check with yours.

Yeah, my dealer wouldn't match the price, but they split the difference with me. I had to pay a few bucks out of pocket to cover tax, etc.

Same here, I spent $19 got the drivers side swing tool box. used all 42k of mine. I figure i am only going to get 1-2 oil changes per year and wanted to use them. didn't realize I could only use a few and save them

Yeah, I probably will only get 1 oil change a year and I didn't want to lose them so I just bought a toolbox since I was going to get one anyway.

if you have a spray in bed liner you need m6 and m8 holes cleaned out. easy install, if you have a method of cleaning or retapping those threads. (or don't have to do it )

Already installed, used a tread chaser to clean them out.

I use mine for oil changes. Regarding points expiring, they only expire if you don't use any of them or earn more by the deadline.

https://www.ford.com/support/how-to.../fordpass-rewards-frequently-asked-questions/

FordPass Rewards Point balances expire and are forfeited when a member has not earned Points, redeemed Points or fulfilled a reward earned through FordPass Rewards for 365 consecutive calendar days. App usage does not qualify as activity needed to keep Points from expiring. To help in these uncertain times, expiration of FordPass Rewards Points has been extended to December 31, 2021, for Points earned prior to January, 2021. Points earned after January 1, 2021 will expire at the 365-day mark with no other activity.

So as long as you use at least some before the expiration date there is no rush to spend the rest as you should have another year before you need to spend or earn more.

Just go to your local deaers parts dept., and order the remote start system. Tell them you want to use your points to pay. Whatevers left over will be good for 365 more days.
