The relationship between Ford® Motor Company and First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO®), the issuer of the FordPass® Rewards Visa® Card and Lincoln Access Rewards™ Visa® Card, is coming to an end. Beginning May 28, 2025, you will no longer earn FordPass® Rewards and Lincoln Access Rewards™ Points. Instead, beginning May 28, 2025, your card will automatically convert to earning points in the GearUp Rewards program. Points earned in the GearUp Rewards program cannot be redeemed in FordPass® Rewards or Lincoln Access Rewards™. Any FordPass® Rewards or Lincoln Access Rewards™ Points earned from the FordPass® Rewards Visa® Card or Lincoln Access Rewards™ Visa® Card by current cardholders through May 27, 2025, will remain in your FordPass® Rewards or Lincoln Access Rewards™ account, subject to its terms and conditions.
On May 28, 2025, your card will become the GearUp Visa® Card. No action is needed right now. You can continue using your current card as you normally would, and you will receive your new GearUp Visa® Card by mid-July.
