Replying to: pf_flyer (Mar 17, 2005 10:56 am) Proud owned of 2.5 ltd outback for 10 weeks now, & just hit 7200 miles. Very pleased so far with my purchase. I applied for, and received Chase Subaru Master Card & well on my way towards earning the maximum of $500 per year in "Subaru Bucks" I do a lot of traveling & just using my card for that & business expenses will easily amount to $17,000 per year in purchases, which will get me the $500.   My questions is, I am having my wife use the same card (extra one with her name) because I wanted to be sure to get the maximum $500 back but it is obvious we will be way over that. I really want to have one card (account) for me to use strictly for my business expenses to help keep track of these expenses and have her use a separate one for her stuff (like shopping, etc.) I will still get to the $17,000 threshhold without any problem. Found out I can pay my Comcast Cable bill, phone bills, etc., utilizing the card. Her is the questions.... Does anyone know for sure if I have two separate Subaru Master Cards, I am sure they will both earn 3% (at least I think they will) but any potential problem in redeeming them to possibly earn up to $1000 per year? I know that's a lot of money to spend on credit cards every year, that would be around $34,000!   Another little trick is to get a AAA (American Auto Club) Visa & you can save up to 5% on gas purchases (if you pay at the pump)   All comments welcome.   Also, can anyone tell me what takes place on the Subaru Crew chats Thursday evening?

We chat.   Seriously, we talk about everything, from food to cars, beer, hockey, auto industry stuff, etc.   I missed it yesterday but there were 32 people there.   -juice

Replying to: occking (Mar 17, 2005 3:07 pm) I believe that the maximum that can be applied to a new purchase or lease is $2000. If you had a separate card with your wife as the cardholder, I don't see why coupons earned with that card couldn't be used for maintainance, repairs, parts, extended warranties.   Since our daycare center started accepting credit cards in September, we're going to get our fifth coupon about four months before our anniversary date with Chase. My wife has an additional card on my account and I'd like to reverse the situation to get above $500 in coupons if it's possible.   BTW, the Citi Dividend card pays 5% for groceries and gas purchases.

Whoa Nellie...that turbo is causing a head rush! Not turbo lag - mind lag. I paid $27,500 AFTER the downpayment...actually, more like $29,500 all told.   Sorry for the Newbie excitment. [Beathe in....breathe out...breathe in....]

Demand varies a lot by region. You'll pay more in Colorado or Vermont than you will here in MD, for instance.   -juice
#468 of 2229 Newbie Subie Correction Correction by csr1 Mar 19, 2005 (6:06 am)
NO...Checked the bill - I DID pay $27,500 total. I take it that that's a pretty good deal? Ed Shultz Auto Group with dealerships from Pittsburgh, PA to Buffalo, NY. Got it for $300 over invoice minus a little for haggling. $300 over invoice is a policy if you make contract with a salesman through their webpage.   Terrific car! Can't wait for more snow.   CSR1

Replying to: dcab (Mar 18, 2005 10:25 am) That's my plan. In three months I have earned just about $100. Also supposed to get free $25 in Subaru bucks for applying for the card in the first place. Even though I got free oil changes for one year (and, i put on the miles--average between 32 and 35,000 miles per year and always change oil every 3000 miles or so. Figure I will use the bucks for other maintenance. When is the first expensive maintenance required? Is that at 30,000 miles? I normally might not perform that service exactly when due, but if I have plenty of the Subaru bucks than why not. Plus, still not sure on the warranty. Got a good deal on the extended warranty when I bought the car. 5 years 100,000 mile, -0- deductible for $899. I am good about oil changes but not sure how closely you have to follow recommended maintenance so as to not void this warranty.

Replying to: occking (Mar 19, 2005 4:36 pm) SubaruBucks are great. We had $3100 in Bucks when we bought my wife's 2003 Forester in the summer of 2002 (the old card paid 5% and had a max of $700/year but it was only for a new purchase or lease) and have $1200 toward my next Outback after using two coupons for 30K service on the Forester.
