GSU and GM Card Earnings No Longer Compatible?

[scubasteve]

I purchased a 2005 Trailblazer and was able to combine GSU and GM Card earnings. Did the same thing in 2006 with my Impalla. I worked hard to build my points back up and went to the dealership for a new Trailblazer and was advised the two can no longer be used together. Was anyone notified of this?

You haven't been able to combine them for years....I think 02 or 03 but they may have just sold under invoice and gave you the GM Card money.....Or they really screwed up

I seem to recall being able to use both way back in 2000 or so. And those were the days before these silly redemption allowances, too.

I've gone with my GMS before over my GM card earnings, which is one reason why my earnings just keep piling up. Due to redemption allowances the Card earnings aren't all that useful for the kinds of vehicles I now prefer.

I remeber it like BPGTim, they changed in 2003 so that you had to have the GM Family card for the programs like supplier and employee discounts.

The family card should still be good on those programs.

Looks like this is the card--- www.gmextendedfamilycard.com

Yes, you need the GM Extended Family card. We have it and used both Employee pricing and GM Extended Family on the Malibu.
