[el ess A]

I know this is going to sound a lot like an advertisement, but it is not. It's actually a how-to that I learned while getting into the GM Family Legacy Program. My dad was a GM retiree, and once he passed, I thought that was pretty much it for any further employee pricing. I figure if this information helps someone, then it's great way to get into a new 5th or 6th gen Camaro!! As such, I'm going to post this in the 5th gen and 6th gen forums.

Do you have GM-retired parents who have died that were eligible for the GM Employee discount? If so, you may be able to continue receiving the GM Employee pricing on your next new GM vehicle.

A. Eligible Participants
This program is available only to:

1) Children of deceased surviving spouses who were receiving benefits of GM pension.

2) Children of deceased GM retirees without surviving spouses.

I just became eligible because frankly, I never knew it was possible. My mother died in 2001, my dad never remarried, and he passed away in 2013. I thought it was pretty much it. I have the GM Supplier pricing through my work, but there was a post here on Camaro5 somewhere that mentioned the Family Legacy Program. I looked into it and I got approved for an account today.

1-313-667-7372

Fax 1-313-221-9636

This is how it works:

1. Call the 1-313-667-7372 number above.

2. Leave the requested info for a callback. You will be talking to an answering machine. No way around that. They don’t answer the phone, probably on purpose.

3. They tend not to call back at any certain time, so I’m sure the machine you talked to is just an info gathering message service you leave your contact info to. They’ll call you back whenever. I played phone tag with them several times before resolution. DO NOT keep calling them back. It doesn’t help. In fact, they ask that you only call once, they’ll call you back.

4. When they do call back the first time, they ask for name of parent, date of birth, date of death, and Social Security number. Then they’ll tell you they will check it out and then call you back (usually a few days later)

5. They call back the second time, they will tell you if you’re eligible. If so, they’ll go over the benefits, then ask you to fax them a copy of the following to 1-313-221-9636:

a. Birth Certificate (needs to show your parent’s name)
b. Driver’s License (must be a copy larger than your original license)

6. On the Fax cover sheet, they’ll want the following:

a. Your Name
b. Your date of birth
c. Your email addy
d. Your contact number
e. Your mailing address
f. Name of the deceased retiree
g. The deceased’s date of death

Once they verify the sent fax info, they’ll send you an email where it will have instructions as to how to set up your account with ID/password for GMfamilyfirst.com.

Then go enjoy GM employee discounts where applicable!!!

It takes a little bit to get things going, so you'll need to be prepared for that. Good luck!
