Lincoln Loyalty Lease Rates Reduction?

[sdonaghey]

Is there anyone here that works for a dealership or Lincoln Financial server that can confirm something about Lincoln loyalty rate reduction on new leases.  At first I was told that since I have a 2016 Lincoln MKX, i am eligible for a 1% lease rate reduction on getting my new 2019 Nautilus.  Then our sales guy comes back from the sales manager and tells us that since our 2016 was used (but Certified Pre-owned), I am not eligible for the 1% rate reduction.  It only applies if I purchased the car brand new.  To me its complete BS, as a loyalty plan should be that I own a Lincoln and I am getting a new one.

 

Has anyone come across this?
