Kia doesn’t have a first responder discount, so there’s no special price for police officers, firefighters or EMTs on a new Kia. What you can do is get cash back on what you pay Kia Finance by paying with a Fluz virtual card, and shop the local offers your Kia dealer has for everyone.
Kia sells SUVs, minivans, sedans, hybrids and electric vehicles, from the Seltos and Sportage to the Sorento, Telluride, Carnival and EV9, along with certified pre-owned cars. Your local dealer sets the actual price, and Kia has its own finance arm, Kia Finance.
How To Get The Kia First Responder Discount
There isn’t one. The one cash back route is a Fluz virtual card, which is a payment card and not a Kia offer. It isn’t a first responder discount, and the rate moves, so read the current figure in the Fluz app before you rely on it.
- Tap the button below and sign up for Fluz.
- Verify your identity in the app and link a bank account to fund your purchases.
- Create a virtual card for Kia Finance. You can set a limit, and you’re only charged for what you actually spend.
- Use the card for your Kia Finance payment, if Kia Finance takes a card for the kind of payment you’re making.
How The Fluz Card Works
A Fluz virtual card is a digital-only payment card with its own card number, expiration date, CVV and billing address. It works anywhere Mastercard or Visa is accepted, online or in person through Apple Pay or Google Pay, and if you’re asked for a PIN, it’s the same PIN as your Fluz account. You fund it from your Fluz balance or a linked bank account. There’s no credit check, fee or minimum spend.
Fluz pays the cash back, not Kia, and you don’t have to verify your job to get it. The card is just how you pay, so it doesn’t change your loan, your lease or the price of the car. If Kia Finance won’t take a card for a payment, pay the way it accepts and skip the card on that one.
Getting A Better Price On A Kia
Kia lists a starting MSRP for each model, but the dealer sets the actual price, and that price can vary. Ask your local dealer for its current offers and lease or finance specials in your area. Kia EasyBuy lets you start your purchase from home before you go to the dealer.
Q&A
Q: Does Kia have a first responder discount?
A: No. Kia doesn’t run a first responder program, and ID.me doesn’t list one either.
Q: A dealer told me about a first responder price. Is it real?
A: It may be that dealer’s own deal, but it isn’t a Kia program. Get the amount in writing on your purchase agreement before you count on it.
Q: Do I get cash back paying a Kia dealer with Fluz?
A: Only if Fluz lists your dealer. This Fluz offer is for Kia Finance, and Fluz lists some Kia dealers on their own, like Car Pros Kia, so search the app for yours before you pay. Ask the dealer whether it takes a card for a down payment before you count on it.
Q: Is the Fluz cash back a first responder discount?
A: No. It’s a rebate from Fluz on what you pay with the card, and anyone with a Fluz account can get it.
Q: Does the Fluz card expire?
A: Yes. Each virtual card has its own expiration date, like any other card.
