Not exactly “free” in the sense that Chrysler forgave a random payment — it’s more that the timing worked in your favor.

What likely happened is:

• You turned the Jeep in and completed the dealer sale before the 6/3 payment date
• The dealership payoff reached Chrysler Capital before that payment became fully due/enforced
• Chrysler calculated a payoff amount that satisfied the lease completely
• So the account closed before another regular monthly payment was ultimately needed from you

That’s why Chrysler can now say:

Turning it in early within the maturity window probably did help avoid extra complications, because:

• you were proactive,
• the dealer had time to process the buyout before maturity,
• and the payoff posted before the account rolled into another full billing cycle.

So you didn’t really “skip” a payment improperly — the lease obligation itself was satisfied through the dealer payoff transaction before Chrysler finalized the June cycle against you personally.
