Hey people, as the title says I'm looking for a PFS legal way to use bluff in place of diplomacy. The only restriction is I need to get the ability without it being a class ability as my character cannot afford even a single level dip.
Thanks in advance!
Bards substituting one skill or another is the only way i know how to replace one skill for another completely.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only way to completely replace one skill with another is using specific class options such as the bard's versatile performance or the Asmodean Advocate's Devil in the Details ability.
Why not just take some traits to get both bluff and diplomacy as class skills and advance them both?

Unchained Summoner Aasimar. I want him to be Exchange but way more gets done on their faction card with diplomacy.
Are you skipping Profession(merchant)? There is only one faction goal that needs Diplomacy (or Profession(merchant)). Bluff is also only useful for one goal. Intimidate is more valuable (2 goals).
Where are you putting your skills?

How does the prestige point thing work, I've not heard about that.You can get a season 8 card to fill out as well.
Just drop a point in Profession early and attempt the rolls every scenario. You can always drop a prestige point to succeed without a roll if you need to.
You can spend 1 prestige for a bonus to the check.

You should read the latest version of the Faction Card rules.
Some faction goals require a successful skill check commonly associated with that faction; however, every faction agent has a different skill set, and not all agents can accomplish those tasks unaided. In place of attempting a goal’s skill check, you can instead spend 1 Prestige Point to succeed through other channels (2 Prestige Points if the DC is 20 plus your character level or higher).

From a roleplay perspective it makes perfect sense for a Summoner to have ranks in spellcraft as it represents knowledge of spellcasting and magic.
Plus unlike Identify you can use it to identify spells as they're being cast

I would rather spend skill points on a character that doesn't have that many great skill choices than spend gold or prestige on the same character who will be strapped HARD for money. Spellcraft is free.A wand of Identify and 1 rank will last you your entire career.

And a wand is only good for 50 magic items... it only gives you one check per charge (CL 1 from a wand). 50 sounds like a lot, until you start actually using it. Running thru 10 charges in a single scenario isn't that unusual.
