Effective: November 18, 2024
Welcome to Lincoln Way, a platform that will empower you to rethink the way you travel. These Terms describe programs and features currently available as well as features we expect to add in the future. The Terms apply to all the features described below, but you can check the website and mobile app to see which ones are currently available. Some features may only be available on the App or the Site. Lincoln Way may also integrate with other services or devices, and these features may be subject to separate or supplemental terms or privacy practices – these will be presented to you in connection with that feature.
Before we get started, we want you to know how Lincoln Way works and we need you to agree to our Terms. Please review carefully and click I accept to agree. Your acceptance and use of Lincoln Way is your agreement to our Terms.
A few important points:
We update Lincoln Way from time to time to introduce new features or fix issues. In some cases, you may need to install the newest version of the App before you can use Lincoln Way again.
Because of this, and because of things like network failures, dead batteries, or lost phones, make sure that you can always access your vehicle even if you can’t access Lincoln Way – always take your key or key fob with you, and check your in-vehicle systems if any information in Lincoln Way doesn’t seem right. And only use Lincoln Way when it’s safe to do so.
These Terms contain important information about Lincoln Way and Lincoln Access Rewards, as well as disclaimers and other provisions that limit our liability to you. Lincoln Way and Lincoln Access Rewards are services that rely on data from you, your mobile device, and your vehicle, such as location and driving characteristics, so we can deliver you great functionality and services, and communications tailored to your interests. Please see our Privacy Policy below for more information. Further, you agree to make all other drivers, passengers or guests of your vehicle aware of these Terms and subject to these Terms including owner access to Connected Vehicle Information (as defined in Section 2, below). You are solely responsible for the use of Lincoln Way and its features for your vehicle, even if you are not the one using Lincoln Way or features and even if you claim later that another persons’ use was not authorized, and agree only vehicles owned by you or a member of your household may be registered to your Lincoln Way account.

Membership is only open to individuals; companies, groups and organizations cannot be members. You must have a valid email address at the time of enrollment. Your Lincoln Way account email address may only be associated with one Lincoln Access Rewards member and one membership account (“Lincoln Access Rewards Account”). Individuals may not have multiple memberships. However, a household may have more than one membership. Individuals who have the same permanent address are members of the same household (“Household”). Memberships cannot be merged or transferred. You may register an eligible Lincoln vehicle with your Lincoln Access Rewards Account. Only vehicles which are owned by a member of your Household may be registered to your Lincoln Access Rewards Account.
b. EARNING POINTS
Lincoln Access Rewards allows Members to earn “Lincoln Access Rewards Points”. To earn Lincoln Access Rewards Points, you must have an active and valid Lincoln Access Rewards membership at the time you engage in any qualifying Lincoln Access Rewards activity.
Lincoln Access Rewards Points can be earned through multiple different activities, including the purchase of Ford, Motorcraft, or Omnicraft parts and any associated labor from a participating dealer, as well as through uses of Lincoln Access and other eligible Lincoln-related activities.
To earn Points, it is important that the same email address, name (first and last) and address associated to your Lincoln Way Account match the name (first and last) and address associated with the qualifying activity. Lincoln Access Rewards Points will not be awarded for paid taxes and fees. Click here for more information about qualifying activities to earn and redeem Lincoln Access Rewards Points, and the earn rate associated with such qualifying activities.
Not all dealerships may be enrolled or participating in Lincoln Access Rewards. Visit the Lincoln Access Rewards website for the current list of participating Lincoln dealers.
Lincoln Access Rewards Points will typically be deposited into your Lincoln Access Rewards Account within 10 days of the qualifying activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain activities may require additional time to validate as qualifying transactions. Please allow additional time for Lincoln Access Rewards Points to be deposited into your Lincoln Access Rewards Account. Members have 365 days from date of purchase/visit to claim missing Points using Points Assist.
Lincoln Access Rewards Points are not transferrable, and may not be sold, transferred or assigned to others.
c. REDEEMING LINCOLN ACCESS REWARDS POINTS
Lincoln Access Rewards Points can be used at any participating Lincoln Dealer towards the purchase of a new Lincoln or Ford vehicle, or for discounts on eligible service with Ford, Motorcraft or Omnicraft parts, eligible connected service plans and subscriptions or, where eligible, Recurring payments, or for any other rewards as determined by Lincoln from time to time (collectively, “Rewards”). See your Dealer for more information.
Lincoln Access Rewards Points will be subtracted from your Lincoln Access Rewards Account balance immediately upon completion of the redemption transaction. Rewards may be subject to additional terms and conditions, such as expiration dates, refunds or restrictions on use. Once redeemed, Lincoln Access Rewards Points cannot be refunded or returned to you , unless otherwise indicated when redeemed. If returns or refunds are permissible, the return or refund will be governed by the relevant return or refund policy. When you use your Points to pay for a Recurring Payment, you may be eligible to receive a refund of the Points you used towards the Recurring Payment, if the terms for the Recurring Payment provide for a refund. When you use your Points to pay for a Recurring Payment that is non-refundable, you will not be eligible for a refund of your Points.
d. POINTS VALUE
Lincoln Access Rewards Points do not have any cash value. Lincoln Access Rewards Points are only a measurement of a member’s qualifying activities in Lincoln Access Rewards and are not considered the property of the participant. Lincoln Access Rewards Points are not redeemable for cash, check, or any other form of credit. The list of Rewards, the number of Lincoln Access Rewards Points required for a Reward, and the structure of Lincoln Access Rewards may be modified by Lincoln at any time.
e. POINTS BALANCES
Members can view their current Lincoln Access Rewards Points balance and previous activity on their Lincoln Access Rewards Account home screen.
Any errors or omissions on transactions posted to your Lincoln Access Rewards Points balance must be reported within 60 days from the date of the eligible activity by contacting the Lincoln Access Rewards Centre as noted in the Contact Us section below (see Section 21). Failure to supply necessary documentation may result in an inability to award Lincoln Access Rewards Points. For verification, you should retain all receipts and documentation until your Points are credited to your Lincoln Access Rewards Account.
If you do not receive a Point accrual, Reward, or other benefit, Lincoln’s liability will be limited to the equivalent of that Lincoln Access Rewards Point accrual, Reward, or benefit.
All Lincoln Access Rewards Points are subject to verification at any time for any reason. Lincoln has the right to correct any Lincoln Access Rewards Points posted in error, or as the result of any fraudulent activity, or any activity not in keeping with the letter and/or spirit of these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms, as interpreted by Lincoln in its sole and absolute discretion.
