Should You Apply for One?
Points roll up fast with this, the oldest and arguably most generous of the co-branded automotive cards — users get five points for every dollar they spend, no matter where they spend it. The lack of limits on how many points you can earn also means that big spenders can accumulate a lot of earnings. Remember, though, that those points can be used towards GM cars only and there are sometimes quite low redemption ceilings.
