Michelin Advantage – Beware of Pitfalls
Got my invoice via Am Ex today for the (4) 365’s I had done last weeks at Jeff’s. The invoice reflected a tire cost of $921.25 each, FET included. Called Michelin and told them my price estimate was $664.08 and they explained that there are two prices for the 365’s, one is for OEM and the other is for Advantage users like us. The error happens at the tire dealer, ya I know, makes ya think and they have to go back to the dealer and re-do the entire transaction. No effort on my part, they will credit my Am Ex and then post the correct prices after the dealer fixes the problem. So, be sure to check your credit card early.
Next, prices went up on May 1st according to the phone rep and here are the current costs:
315 576.00 + 53.83 FET = 629.83
365 630.00 + 34.08 FET = 664.08

It looks like not all Advantage programs work the same way. I’ve purchased tires through this program 3 times and have been charged directly by the plan administrator each time. Once I was charged by the installer, but knew that was temporary. The other 2 times I paid for everything except the tires, only signing for acceptance of the tires. In all cases, the plan administrator charged me the same day or next day.

Took me 7 days to see anything on the CC, I didn’t mind using Michelins money.:)
