I just bought a new car, and attempted to use a miles earning credit card for the purchase. I think a thread could contain a great amount of information if we stick to the following format.

1. In the Title Line, simply list the City and State where the Dealership or Dealerships that you negotiated with are located. It may be best to use a Metropolitan Area Listing rather than a particular city name in many cases. For example, I spoke with dealers in both West Allis and Waukesha, WI, but since both are in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, I will simply use Milwaukee WI as the location on the title line.

2. In the body of the posting, list the name of the dealership and your luck in getting them to accept payment (either partial or full) on a credit card for a new (or used) car purchase.

My initial posting will follow shortly. Over time, we could hopefully build up a data base of dealerships who will accept greater amounts of credit card payment towards auto purchases to help make the process of purchasing a car easier for those of us who try to maximize the amount of miles generated by such purchases. Some dealerships might even be tempted to post their policies here. Then, by simply using the search mode on this thread for your city and state, you could locate dealerships in your area that are more agreeable to accepting larger amounts on credit cards towards aitomotive purchases. (Mods, if you think this should be made into a sticky or appear in a different forum such as SPAM, feel free to move it there.)
