How to Participate

1. Verify Eligibility with ID.me:

Eligibility verification is a mandatory step and is securely handled by our trusted partner, ID.me. If you don't already have an ID.me account, you will need to create one. ID.me offers various options for verifying your educator status, such as State License Lookup or Document Upload.

For assistance with your ID.me account or verification, please visit the ID.me Support page.

2. Request Your VIP Authorization Form:

Once your eligibility has been verified by ID.me, you will need to request your Educator Program VIP Authorization Form before you visit a Subaru retailer. You can access the request form at the Subaru VIP Educator Program Request Form link. Auto-approved authorizations are issued immediately, while requests requiring additional information are typically processed within 24 business hours.

3. Visit Your Subaru Retailer:

With your approved VIP Authorization Form in hand, you can visit the Subaru retailer of your choice. You will negotiate your best price directly with the retailer, and the additional $500 discount will then be applied to your purchase or lease.
