• Vauxhall is to launch a credit card in the New Year. The GM Card will offer a rebate on the purchase of Vauxhall cars or vans, linked to the use of the card. The rebate is 5% of the amount spent on the card—up to £500/year or £2,500 over five years— and applies to new vehicles only (not to Network Q used vehicles). It can be used in conjunction with hire purchase or the Choices payment scheme. The card will offer an APR of 19.9% on Mastercard or Visa services.
