There is no financial upside for the honest dealers to do this, it will cost them labor money to participate, will be a low rate of participation. The true problem is one of perception; if someone is aware of the program and doesn't get the maximum, even if they understand the dealer might only get $100 or so for each order, they will feel they were cheated because someone with connections might get more. It is the VIP program all over again. People won't be happy if they get a hat because someone else might get two hats. It is human nature. This will piss off more customers then it appeases. (And the appeased will grumble they didn't get more), it will do the opposite of what they claim is the intent. It is another unforced error knee jerk reaction from Ford. Totally tone deaf. One internet 'influencer' saying they got a cool toy and it is a PR disaster.
