Did everyone else that had to wait many months for their BS get a gift card? I received this, this morning:
Then the gift card this evening.

Due to the global chip shortage, your Bronco™ Sport SUV was delayed, which means getting you your vehicle took longer than expected.

Think of this as a thank-you for sticking with us.
For your patience.
For your loyalty to the Ford family.

We can't wait to see where your Bronco™ Sport SUV takes you. Please share your adventures with us by tagging @FordBronco.

Yes I did, I think they sent them to the June builds that waited on the chips? Some other people mentioned it on the waiting room thread.

Hmmmm….I did not get one. I also never received emails from Ford (my dealer never added it), but I was a June build that was shipped last Friday. Do you think I should ask my dealer about this or call Ford?

here's my shocked face...glad the tantrums paid off.
I'm impressed that Ford took this step. A hundred dollars times how many delayed vehicles. That's an impressive amount of money.

Especially when most believed that Ford would do nothing.

Our disagreements aside, I'm happy to see you back on the board. Current and future BS owners will come here for information and assistance and they will need people to help them.

I don't think Ford handed out any money to F150 and big Bronco customers who had their vehicles built/sent to yards to sit for several months.....so yes this is significant move by Ford....

Did you get the actual gift card or just a slip of paper that read "Due to supply issues.... " ;)

Have those vehicles been shipped?

The email mentioned "united at last" (which still isn't true for some, if not many); I wonder if Ford wanted to wait until mostly having the vehicles taken care of first. Getting a $100 gift card around the time the vehicle arrives probably leaves you with a much more favorable overall impression than getting one three months prior.

FWIW, my wife got the email and redeemed the code, but her ordered vehicle is supposed to be at the dealer around 11/19...but also still shows the FDM recall outstanding, so who knows how long before it's actually available to drive off the lot. Moot point for us as I found someone else's abandoned order for her to buy a few weeks ago, but I can't imagine how she'd react if we were still waiting, the BS arrived, and she was told "oh, but we need to wait for the recall to be taken care of, and we don't know when that will be just yet."

I think there was talk about some ford dealerships giving whiskey to people waiting on F150's.
