Has anyone successfully charged a new car to a credit card for the rewards points?

Well, they let me put 3K on the credit card when I bought the car yesterday. From the glance exchanged between the finance guy and the guy who did our papers, I feel that this amount is likely variable. However, we got a really, really good deal on the car through TruCar and way more for my trade than we should have (due to some aggressive negotiation on our part), and as a result, I did not feel like playing hardball over putting the other 14K on a CC. Oh well...at least it's $30 for Disney, right?

We put the whole amount n our credit card. After dh made the deal he asked the salesman.

Salesman talked to the manager. Got approval since they didnt want to lose the deal.

Dh told them their dealer prep fee would more than cover the credit card fee etc.

All the people there said, heah, what are you trying to do, get a free vacation. Dh said, yes!!

He called the cc company and told them to increase our limit etc.

If this is still their policy we would probably use this dealer again, just for this fact.

Our cc allows us to use points for disney rooms so its a win win for us.

It does vary by dealer. I have a wealthy relative who bought a Land Rover a few years ago and was going to put it on her credit card. The dealer called the cc company and, no lie, the cc company asked how many did she want to buy.
