Free onX Elite membership offer in FordPass app

FYI, If you already have it, it flags you as ineligible so no love for existing customers.

Ive had OnX offroad for several years and used this to get OnX Hunt.

Well, that sucks. Because I was "recently" subscribed, I'm not allowed to use it after giving permission. And I don't want any of the other apps.

Hate when you have to provide a cc for something free

Liked the product but found myself using less and less. After a few years I decided to let it cancel out. Apparently the date on that card had expired so when they tried to auto renew it bounced.

They had tried running the card multiple times per day for several days when I saw all the failed attempt messages in my email. I went into my OnX account & did a formal cancel. And then they pissed me off when they continued to keep trying to hit that card over & over for several weeks later.

Apparently no doesn’t mean no, lol.

I never called & complained. Just annoyed me. Maybe I was a one off situation but I don’t like that business model. Hitting a couple times I get. But all in it was over 20x.

if I decide to reactivate in the future I will use my Apple Card that allows me to create single transaction card numbers to prevent unwanted automations. It’s a pain to update yearly but I don’t trust them after that behavior.

Outside of this, I really liked the service. We have a company account too as our work involves land acquisition, etc and we often need to find land owners.

It’s surprising that it took them this long to fill in the gap that awful ford bronco app left. Instead of spending hundreds of thousands on that all they needed was a few contracts with onx

Nice. Thanks!

To add to your point, Ford should never have bothered trying to reinvent the wheel with their Trail App. A few were able to get it to work, but for many, it was a glitchy mess. It certainly was a bullet point on the feature list that was promoted at launch. They could have included 3yrs with every Bronco purchase and then a subscription thereafter.

Not surprised at all. Companies target new growth more than retention because that looks good on shareholder reports.
I use OnX regularly & the elite tier gives me discounts that I end up using on other products enough to make it worth having, but it would be nice to see some of the love as a reward for already having it.

I'm already subscribed as well, but it renews in May. So on May 1st I'll attempt this offer with a different email address and cc#, if it works I'll cancel the existing plan.....

Thanks @Ducati1098 !

And agree with you on many points @Beach_Bum!

It's not worth it that much to me. They also have my vin now, so I wonder if that would even work.

I actually keep OnX running on my Bronco screen instead of Google maps now.

Does it come up automatically, if so, how do you do that? Or, do you just select the app each time.

It acts just like Maps in that it comes up automatically if that's what you were using when you cut the vehicle off. If it doesn't then just select the On"X" icon on the left side.

It states access to all four apps but can only get one to pull up and then wants to give me 7-day trial for the other. Am I missing something?

I love this app. I had heard a guy used it to ask permission to cross a property line to exit a trail for a semi-emergency. The homeowner was extremely grateful that they asked. Down in the middle of Ky the questions usually come 1800 ft/sec later. Got the name on OnX and found the Mrs on FB and sent a msg with their number and they called back. Pretty crazy. Also the bread crumbs are pretty dang good. When you go on a trail that is previously mapped, use the record feature and send back to OnX if there is a discrepancy between their trail and where you went and they can update trail accuracy. It’s worth it.

P.S. for the cc issue.
Go get a gift card that you can use online that has at least a penny on it. I keep one handy for such an occasion. It’s like a google number for my bank ​
