most if not all of the gmid certificate numbers one can score on line result in an h3 buyer getting the gm supplier discount -- which i got, not the gmid discount, which stands for 'general motors in your driveway' and goes only to relatives up to grandchildren of actual gm employees. in fact when i got my h3, the dealer initially thought i had the 'family' gmid but when the cert # was punched in to the computer it showed the dealer that i got the supplier discount. again, it's less of a discount than the true gmid, but still great. even the dealers are unsure of which is which -- gms vs gmid -- and what it means until they punch in the number.
