GM Points to be used on the 2009 Camaro???

I hope I am not saving all my GM points for nothing. I know these days they are limiting them per vehicle but even the Corvette has a $1,000 allowance. What do you think?

Nick

I agree with you. I sure hope they let you use the GM Card too. That is why I got this card in the first place...It sure wasn't for their customer service! Or their low APR!!

I just cleared some of mine earnings on the Silverado.

I'm not counting on more than $1,500 Canadian so my CitiBank Driver's Edge card gets the rest.

better be like 5000 like the cavalier:p

Another question is where will GMAC be in 2009? Now that the division not owned by GM anymore who knows what they will do.

GMAC is still 49% owned by GM and will still be providing sales and lease financing like they are now.

I'd like to lease a new Camaro myself. I hope they have a decent lease deal at the time.

I went and got a GM card solely for this reason, so they better on it. I understand having a limit but I'll be very dissapointed if they don't let you use at least a thousand dollars credit.

I've had my card for 3 months now and have accumulated over $300....I only buy stuff I would normally buy, but I use it for everything! I don't buy a soda in a store without putting it on my card. 55 cent candy bar? GM credit card...it all adds up I'm telling you.

Plus putting my books and tuition on there really help, I just make sure to pay it off in full at the end of them month

WERD!

Just got my GM card for this purpose too! :)

I have $1800 and hope to get it above 2 grand by the time I buy. I have the old card which means you can use the full amount no matter which car you're buying :metal:.

I've got about $200 on mine too and got it for the same reason. 5th gen.

Ahahaha....at least Im not the only one.

My father has the same card and I remember him giving me about 4K in points when I bought my ZR2. Any idea if you can still get it??

Nick

I figure the max will be about a grand like the GTO and Vette.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can still get it as long as the persons who's name is on the title is either a main card holder or a person with secondary card on the account.

Tell me about it. I ran a credit report recently and they had an additional GM Card account on there in my name with $4,000 balance! But they were actually pretty good with clearing that up. I'm hoping by 2010 I'll have a good amount of points on there for a Camaro, or one of the other future cars they have in the works. When the card first came out there was no limit as to how many of your points you could use on a new vehicle. Too bad they don't do that anymore.

How do you know if you have the old or new card?

I got mine around February 2000. I'm guessing it's a newer one.

Not sure how to tell. But when my dad bought his '06 GTO they let him use all 3,500 of his points because he had the card from way back, definitely prior to 2000.

Yea thats a newer one, I'm on my mother's account and she got her card when she bought her Roadmaster in '92.

My stepdad got his GM card in 1990 and redeemed a full $3,000 on his 1996 Grand Prix GT. I think they came out with them in about 1986 or 88.


Here's some irony for ya..... I got my GM card back in 2000. It's purpose was to save for a - guess what - new Camaro! At the time, I figured it would be 6 or 7 years for me before I bought a new car, and at the rate I use a credit card, at the end of the 6 or 7 years I'd have the $3,000 redemption earned (at that time, I don't think GM placed redemption limits on any car, so you could redeem however many points you had on any car up to $3,000). Suffice it to say, less than a year after I got the card GM announced they were killing the F-bodies. Fast forward to today, I have almost $3,000 on the card and the return of the Camaro is upon us. I will say if GM does not accept AT LEAST a $1,000 redemption, I will be extremely upset.

Got mine in the 90's, so I can still use up to $5000 on my next GM. Used $2500 on my last f-body.

I've had mine since 2002 and I have about $3,000 in pts. What I really wish more than anything is that they'd let you use the pts on GM Certified Used cars.

Well, I called GM and found there are only 2 cards. The Blue card and the Platinum card. Blue allows you to use as many points you want but limits you to max earnings of $500 per year. Platinum allows you to earn as many as you want but limits you per vehicle, $1,000 in most cases.

I got my GM card in 1994. Back then you could accumulate 5%, up to $1000 per year in credit. So, I used it for everything, including purchase of company supplies for my first job. By 2001 there was $4700 of credit on the card. Then GM announced that they were going to disallow the card with purchases in conjunction with GM employee purchases. So, We put the $4700 down on a new Venture Minivan, along with a $4000 employee discount, and a 0.9% financing deal. After that we cancelled the card, since I'd rather keep using my father's employee discount. However it was a pretty cool deal to just drop off our '97 Saturn SW2, and drive off in a new minivan with a $5000 check in hand. It felt like GM was paying us to buy the car. Now we're making payments to OURSELVES on our 2009 Camaro (have been for about a year), so by the time mid-2009 rolls around, we ought to have it pretty much fully financed. No GMAC needed!

So, could I put my house and car payment on this card and just have the credit card payment automatically deducted every month from my checking like my house and car are now?

Wow, that's something I'd NEVER thought about! LOL If you can do that with the GM card (I've never heard of paying a car payment or mortgage on a credit card) you'd rack up some points fast.

I thought about doing that but never found a way. Hell, if you can do it for any card that gamve cash, flyer miles, whatever, you are making out.
