One week ago, I transferred $1,000 of my excess GM Card Points to my sister, who bought a 2009 CTS from the same dealer I buy from. The dealer did not mention anything about "bumping up" the value--nor did GM Card Customer Service, when I had to contact them to add her name to the card to get the credit for her. The dealer gave her $2,500 rebate credit also. She was replacing her 2007 CTS. She likes the 2009 CTS very much! :thumbsup:
