Which GM- credit card to get?
Id like to get one of the credit cards that builds points/cash towards purchase of a new GM car.
Which card do you all recommend? I have a VISA with Sony rewards. I just ordered my 'free' Digital camera- after getting enough points. Id like to now get a card so I can build points toward a car.... any recommendations? |

Extended Family Card. That way you can use it at Saturn or with a GM discount.

The Flexible Earnings Card allows for 1% Earnings toward Saab and Saturn. Which, frankly, blows Beluga. You spend $10,000/year on your card, and you get $100.00 off a car that costs $30,000? WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I have some GM card that gives 5% back. It's been fairly awesome.

Re: Which GM- credit card to get?
Where do you live?
If in Canada, your only option is with the TD Bank - the GM Visa card. 3% of purchases go to GM points/dollars, and (here's where it's better than the US) you can use the points at Saturn. I know, because I just did.  |

Re: Which GM- credit card to get?
hmmm I was just running the numbers at 3%....
not sure if its even worth it- I dont think I would even charge $1000 a yr. that would be $30 towards a new car.... to get $1500 towards a new car- Id have to charge $50,000... any of you guys pool up those kind of significant numbers? |

Re: Which GM- credit card to get?
Doesn't the flex card provide triple earnings? Like you get your GM points, and if you use it on a GM vehicle, they triple it?

Re: Which GM- credit card to get?
I'd get the traditional GM Card. I got mine back in the 90s before they set limits on how much you can redeem. My card gets me 5% towards a new vehicle for every purchase. It's limited to a max purchase benefit of 5% of $500, though. I charge everything: gas, groceries, bills, etc. every month and pay it in one bill to avoid interest. My last truck I bought in 2004. My GM earnings were up to $2000, PLUS GM gave an extra $1000 in bonus earnings. They sometimes do that.
The only downside is that earnings are only good for five years, and you are capped at $500 in earnings per year. However, I forget what the new card's rules are, but 5% is the best I've come across. |
