Redeem GMCard Points for AA & Marriott?
I just saw something interesting and can't seem to get any more details.
I logged onto the GM Card's web site to check my balances (and GM earnings) on my credit card and saw this:
It then says to click on the logos for more information, but it doesn't work.
So, anybody know some more details on this? Looks promising!

Thanks much for all the info Steve. Too bad they aren't a little more generous with the awards or offer equal discounts for more lower level options. My wife and I have never had a $90 joint meal (or even half that!), so using $25 in awards to get that and similar "discounts." aren't especially appealing, especially since you'd probably need to go through GM for bookings, which may not give the best rates.
