Company Announcements

DETROIT and WILMINGTON, Del., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- General Motors is redesigning its GM Rewards™ loyalty program and announcing the launch of the GM Rewards™ Mastercard® from Barclays US Consumer Bank. The revamped loyalty program is simpler, and the new card provides customers more ways to earn and redeem GM Rewards points across GM brands for new vehicles, services, parts and accessories.

GM Rewards members can also earn and redeem GM Rewards points towards digital services like most OnStar plans and Super Cruise¹, the hands-free driver assistance technology which can be used on about 750,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada.

"GM has led the U.S. automotive industry in loyalty for a decade², and now we're rewarding both our new and existing members with easier access to savings opportunities and new ways to engage with us," said Ralph Darmo, VP of loyalty programs at GM. "Additionally, we're creating exciting member-exclusive experiences that only GM can provide – such as trackside access at racing events and off-the-grid EV excursions. Cardmembers can use the new GM Rewards Mastercard to earn GM Rewards points from everyday purchases like food, shopping and travel. And you can redeem GM Rewards points towards your next vehicle, for accessories or features to upgrade your vehicle, and for services."

In addition, customers of GM Financial will be able to redeem GM Rewards points towards an account balance. And now, GM Rewards points can be combined with GM'sFamily First employee, dealer and supplier discount programs, for eligible customers.

Issued by Barclays, the new GM Rewards Mastercard further expands the Wilmington, Delaware-based bank's portfolio of co-branded credit cards, which includes some of America's best-known brands.

"We're proud to partner with GM and Mastercard to deliver a credit card that puts real value in customers' hands," said Denny Nealon, CEO, Barclays US Consumer Bank. "With industry-leading rewards and flexible redemption options, the GM Rewards Mastercard makes every purchase more rewarding for GM customers across the U.S."

Launching today, the new GM Rewards Mastercard combines the security and convenience of Mastercard's network with the benefits of Mastercard World Elite. Cardmembers will also enjoy the following benefits:

• 30,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 within 90 days of account opening
• Up to 10x points on eligible GM purchases, consisting of 7x points for every $1 spent when you use your GM Rewards Mastercard, plus up to 3x points for being a GM Rewards member

"Mastercard is thrilled to partner with GM and Barclays in offering exciting benefits tailored to cardmembers' lifestyles," said John Levitsky, Co-President, United States for Mastercard. "The GM Rewards Mastercard provides convenience and security through the power of our network, while unlocking valuable benefits that enhance the cardmember experience on and off the road."

Existing cardmembers should continue to use their current cards through August 25, 2025. Current cardmembers will receive their new, replacement Barclays cards later this summer, along with activation instructions so they can begin using their new card on August 25.
