Heh, well, divide by 2.2 to get pounds. Thats about 450 pounds. Not all that much, but still, better than nothing. I mean, lots of people by previously owned cars. I'd rather buy new and have it last me two or more decades.
In the past 8 months of having this card, I've managed to get about $100 (45 pounds) towards a car. I won't be graduating or exercising this option for a few more years, so my goal is to get $2,000 to $3,000 towards a car.

Now according to my New Scientist, cars are rather ... pricey in the United Kingdom. In fact, you pay more than double what we would normally pay for a similarly sized car.

I'd wager the GM rewards on the card goes a longer way for me than for you guys. If it will cover 20% of the cost of a new car, GREAT!
