I know it sounds like a MLM gimmick (there's probably some SEC rule or something), but this is the sort of thing that might catch on -
What if GM gave everyone with at least $100K of stock (not options, not mutual fund shares, not 401K funds; just STOCK) the employee discount? Even if there were other hurdles, like you have to call the GM stock number, and you have to have owned the shares for more than 6 months.
The theory is that this person is obviously acting like "part of the family", so maybe they should be treated like family... People's 401k's and e-trade accounts aren't doing so well right now, so right now, this might get people to say - I might buy a car in the next year or two, maybe I should kill two birds with one stone.
From GM's point of view - since they killed off the dividend, it might be a good enticement for some actual people to buy and hold (not institutional types and employees that will buy and sell based on earnings reports and outlooks).
On second thought maybe I should buy $100k of stock before suggesting something like this on a public forum...
