There are four different GM cards. The offers vary depending on which one you carry.
Not true...that only affects what your "normal" redemption limit is. All of the new ones or the old ones that got converted, have a redemption limit of $1000.
As far as the roundup offer goes, it is selected at random. Those fortunate enough to be selected, were initially offerd a roundup (or top-off) from whatever amt. you have, to $2000. For this offer to apply, you had to have an open account with them prior to 11/12 AND be targeted for the promotion.
As of 12/15, they began offering a $3000 incentive on 3 vehicles, one of which is the GTO. Because this is a seperate offer, it is added to the $2000 top-off, totalling $5000. To add insult to injury, it seems that this incentive only applied to those originally targeted for the roundup offer (unfair, yes), as they are the only ones receiving mailings explicity stating this new incentive.
What happened in my case, and others, was that they thought the two offers were not combinable and thus took the max redemption limit of $1000 and added the incentive at $3000 to total $4000; when in fact, they may be used together. Because the deal was done, it would be a real PITA to redo the contract, not to mention I don't live anywhere near the dealership I bought from...so to make things equal, they'll just send me a check.
If you bought a few days before 12/15 and were targeted for the roundup offer, I'd fight GMCard tooth and nail to get the extra $3000...good luck though because they've got about 500 different departments in 25 different states and no two of them will tell you the same thing...that is if you're not transferred, lied to, or hung up on by a supervisor (yes, this is how I got treated). Good luck fellas, be prepared for war :shutme
) but, gmcard screwed up and the dealership is now going to send me a check for $1k. So the car was $17,118 + ttl, or $18,163 out the door.
