Wow! Perfect timing, Ming!!

I have had the GM Card for 6 years (now the GM World Card) and used it twice in that time. The first time I received a top off offer and used $2,500 on a Cobalt. Next they let me use all my points at the time, just over $3,500 on a Silverado! "Man, this card is SOOO worth it", I thought.

Now, as I am looking to buy a G8 GT this week, I call them up to see if they will once again let me use my $3,711 points toward the car. Three people and a lot of arguing later...."The redemption on this vehicle is $1,000 and last time was a one-time offer." Now, I would think that if they did it once, SOMEONE could do it again, right?! "We would get fired if we did it again" I am told.

So, if they let me use $1,000 of my $3,711 on this car, then the GM Card to me is little better than DIscover with it's 1% cash back! And no, I am not buying a cargo Savana to use $3,500 in redemptions. After 3 years of no activity, I transferred my GM Card balance to my 11 year old Visa and am off the GM Card wagon...
