When i call dealerships they usually give me the say, "the GMID discount is only available for the '05 makes. so let's say you want an H2, then we'd be able to accomodate you with that, but the '06 H3 is high in the market; so we don't accept the discount for '06 models." in a nice way I guess? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

From what you are saying, it sounds like they are getting the old GM employee pricing for everyone promotion confused with GMID.
Have the sales manager contact their field representative, and hopefully, he/she can straighten out the differences.
Problem with many dealerships in areas where there are few GM employees, or few GM suppliers is that they do not deal in these types of discounts everyday.
Good example is here in the Detroit area, probably 50% of a dealers sales are to an employee, an employee's eligible sponsored Dependant, neighbor of an employee or an actual GM supplier (this is true for GM/Ford/Chrysler).
Get outside of this area, and it these discounts are not that common. When Saturn first started in TN, this was the case, the dealers were not familiar with the programs, after a few years, they advertised to these authorized people that they wanted this type of business.
My advice is to call around and get a sales manager who is willing to contact their field person or district office to clarify the situation.
All I can say is I do know for a fact, GMID/GM Supplier and GMS is available on the H3.
