Anyone know what gm accessory dealers online accept gm rewards points?

 

I’ve got points to burn and my dealer wants MSRP for the console tray I’m looking at.

 

Thanks,

You have to go into the gm app to trade points for credit. I traded 22000 points for 110 in credit. Bought my wind deflectors that way.

 

Once you have the credit vouchers, you can take them into any gm dealership parts department.  They are required to take the vouchers.  You can't use them online.

 

You don't need a physical voucher, just the voucher numbers. They will pull them up, but they can't look up the vouchers without the number nor can they trade the points for you. They also don't give cash back or voucher credit on partially used credit. Better to buy enough to use a voucher all at once.

I get that however my dealer doesn't want to budge off of MSRP and I'd like to stretch those bucks as far as I can.  I will be using part of them for an alignment since I installed a leveling kit on friday but wanted to try and do that and get the console organizer with very little out of pocket.  Basically I'm being cheap.

They aren't going to budge. The days of haggling on prices are long over.

Check out my GM rewards online. It’s pretty easy to get. I only have points from buying the truck and signing up with my email.

Not sure where you want them to move on the price.  GM has very little margins on most of their accessories (assuming dealer is being honest and using MSRP with no markup) and if you are using MyRewards points, don't expect a single budge on the price.  That's what the points are for, to cut the price. 

 

If you only have points from buying the truck and email sign up, that's just over 20,000 points.  That's = $100 accessory dollars.

I do not have the CC, nor do I want one. I just signed up with my email for the program when I got the truck.

Don't forget, if you also have an OnStar account on another owned vehicle, you can link it to your My GM Rewards program. Ex: My previous OnStar account that was 2 years old, netted me 1100 points. And any new vehicle purchased after you start your account gives you 20k more. So, let's say you just bought a new vehicle. 20k, You have a previous OnStar account still active. More points. You setup your email account. More points. You complete an online survey about your visit or if you actually call the MyGM rewards help desk. More points. Your spouse gets a new car. Another 20k. Anytime you have service done at a dealership. More points. It all adds up and is worth it for nothing more than your time.

Here's the link.

I was having same problem as OP. I had $200 in rewards credits. You could get 20% off online at the Chevy accessories website with free shipping to dealer, but you could not use rewards credits. Local dealers all just quote MSRP which was 20% higher than the Chevy accessories website. I ended up just buying a Thule bike rack for $299 MSRP from the dealer and used the $200 credit. So yeah it sucked I had to pay msrp, but end of the day I got a Thule 4 bike hitch rack for $99 plus tax so I was still pretty happy.

Yup I am in the same boat.

 

Wanted to use my points online and could't. I even talked to a GM rep and was told no way to use it online, must go in person.

 

I pick up my floor mats Friday from my dealership.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
