Well I only have a few hundred points accumulated on this card. On my GM Card (World) I have $7,500+ points. It's very important that I find out what card you used because I am going tomorrow to test drive the GXP. Please respond!!!! Thanks!!!!

I have the GM Mastercard World. Previous to this past year & purchase , I have been allowed to spend all point money when using GM's lease program for a three year lease for my wife's co. car. They also let us terminate the 3 yr. lease @ the 21/2 yr. mark, so they can put the bizz back in a new lease. I only recently heard that they no longer gave you your entire rewards points at one time. Further, it's been a while since I looked or asked about rules, but The last few years they only allowed me to earn 500.00 points per year. The cut off point was 3,500.00 dollars. Unless there are drastic changes I've ignored, you had to spend 7 years to get 3,500. Unless you are leaseing and knocking down your points every 21/2 yrs. The last vehicle I bought (Silverado) 7 years ago. I only had about 1,400.00 in points towards a totally maxed out ext. Cab and they gave me all my points then. The day I went to take delivery on my Solstice was the first time anyone told me I would not be able to get all the points at one time. I was a little shocked, but really didn't think about it as my car was being unloaded off the carrier. I guess my nickname (Lucky Chucky) fits me well.

You say you have 7,500.00 points on your (World Card) ? Because they told me , I guess years back that I could not earn more than 500. points per year, I always switch to another Card with a 5% kick back like USAA MC 5% off gas anywhere when I reach 500.00 for the year. In the past, I just stopped receiving points at 500., even if I was only half way through the year. I am intriqued by your comments. I am either living in a Vacuum or the Rules may be different from State to State.
Shout back at me Sol_Candy. I'm going to the GM sight here directly and see what my FL card rules currently are. I have been a Card holder for 20+ years and to date, I have never carried a monthly balance and beleive me, I use the @%#* out of my card. Actually I use several cards (all paid to 0 every month) but primarily the GM MC World. I probably put no less than 1,800. to 2,200. per month. I charge a couple hundred bucks on USAA, Discover, AOL Visa and American Express especially right after I clear my points. They bug you constantly to buy a new vehicle as soon as you accumulate 1,500. points, even if you just bought and leased at the same time three months before. ????
Back to you---------
