I'm not positive, but I think it only applies towards the purchase of new vehicles.  I've saved several thousand dollars on the purchase of GM vehicles by using my card.  The best thing about it is that I pay my bill in full every month, so GM has never made a penny on my purchases with my card...  I guess they lost out on me!!!!   (They loan me free money for a month and then give me credits towards my new vehicle....  it doesn't get much better than that!!! )

My mom has one.  They will not let you use it unless it is on a new vehicle.  She tried when she bought her last car but it was used and they wouldn't let her.  Then she was going to get my Blazer for me, then put it in my name after she got it with the rebate; but it was used so she couldn't do it.

Snacky,

 

I believe that you can use the rebates on Dish Network and a couple of other partner programs.  You would probably have to call the customer service number or go to the website.  

 

I have saved a bunch on vehicles with the card too.  I also pay my bill at the end of each month.  Has anyone switched to the new GM card or is everyone using the old version?  I am using the old version.  The new one limits the amount you can put on each vehicle, but unlimited earnings.  The old one limits you to $500 earnings each year, but if you wait for a max of 7 years, that's $3500.

Can you use the card with a supplier discount?

The answer is "YES"!!!  All rebates, special financing and your GM card "credits" apply to GMS Pricing.

I'm using the old plan.  The new one sounded good until I read all of the restrictions.  I pay my bill in full every month so they don't make anything off of me either.

GM tried like he!! to get me to switch to the new plan too, but I didn't like all the fine print...

These Earnings are in addition to most other incentives GM may offer, excluding GM Employee Purchase Programs, GMO, GMS, PEP, GM Dealership Employee Purchase Programs and GM Supplier Purchase Programs ...This is a quote from GM card website.

 

The new card was best for my particular situation. There is a lot of 'catchy' wording comes with it so beware. It doesn't go with some other discounts as stated above.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
