Justin McHenry, research director for IndexCreditCards.com, discusses how to best use branded credit cards when purchasing a new vehicle or service. ('Branded' meaning affiliated to a particular organization or company) The well-known GM card, for example, puts up to five-percent of purchases made on the credit card towards the lease or purchase of a new GM vehicle.

Other automakers who issue cards include BMW, DaimlerChrysler (separately as Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz), and Lexus. A full listing can be found on a link at the article or here.
