Dealers CANNOT give you ANY more discount then the Employee or Supplier price without violating the terms of the program and losing any incentive money's they have been paid. The sales price and doc fees are FIXED under these programs. Dealers adding additional markdown either aren't really submitting the deal into the program or are risking failing an audit by GM.
The only way a dealer can legitimately give you more off the deal is by paying more for your trade than it's worth or throwing in non-cash incentives like free oil changes for life, etc.
The EXCEPTION is any factory to dealer or factory to customer incentives active at the time of delivery. Not all incentives qualify such as the 15% or 20% "Red Tags". You can't use the employee or supplier program AND get 20% off but you can use the Yellow Tag fixed $$$ or private offers on top of the program price.
I got over $9000 off a $40,000 RAM pickup in the summer of 2014 doing exactly that, stacking $6000 in incentives on top of a ~$3000 supplier discount.
