goBlue Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 So I got a $100 gift cert from my Subaru Mastercard. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow. What should I get? I'm thinking of waiting to get a second one and get something more expensive (performance part perhaps). Otherwise, I'll probably get some oil filters, engine coolant, wiper blade refills etc. Anything else? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheatleya Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think The King of Parts takes Subie bucks, and they have a much bigger selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I don't understand having this card there are so many cards with a better return rate thats more usable. Oil filters the wiper blades suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 3% is great if you can use it there are cards that give you 3% cash which I would rather have. I regularly have 5k CC bills every month. So for me its airline miles because the payback is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this card so that I could put the money toward a new car. Now that Ive seen the new Impreza I might have made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc0032 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 ^ so which card do you have? I have 2 primary cars an American Airlines car that gives 1 mile for every dollar and 1.5 for every dollar buying AA flights. It takes 15k miles for a flight. or about $13k for me. Figure a flight costs ~$350. Now you would receive 3% or $390 in Subaru dollars. For me I cant use that much subby dollars. My other cars is an American Express Costco's card that pays 3% "cash"/ Costcos dollars. I know these will get used. Whats the cap on the Subaru card for returns? EDIT: I should add this $$ doesn't actually come out of my pocket its all expenses im reimbursed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most you can get is $500 a year. And I think it expires after two years. And the interest rate is like %24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Chase's ads for flexible rewards, don't know if the Subaru card qualifies for that. I've had my Subie MC for almost 2 years now, and no credit limit increase - although 8K is plenty. APR is only 7.9%, lowest of all my CCs. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goBlue Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56279 nice, will probably get the STI pedals next time since i already spent it on oil filters and engine coolant yesterday. but it won't be long since we bought some plane tickets with it a few weeks ago. oh, anyone has experience with those STI pedals? are they significantly better? how much do they cost usually?
