I have not had the need to use it, but I know people who have successfully used it.

OT...
We tried it when we bought the CEO's new Hyundai in May 2010...the price quoted was very good; the catch is if you have a trade in.

So, we took that quote to the 'local' responding dlr, negotiated a bit, got a few hundred more off than the AX quote, and the dlr gave us ~$2Gs more for our trade-in, her POS Honda CR-V, than KBB, et al quoted. The dlr principal had a buyer for the CR-V I think, so we were all 'happy' and I was glad. NEway, wrote a check for $20Gs and we drove away.

For us it 'worked', though face to face we were able to do even better, and any trade in puts a wrench in AX's smooth interface, imo. But, worth a try, especially if a dlr has what you want, on his lot, burning a hole in his Floor Plan financing.

These 'services'- AMEX, Costco, etc are all simply an agreement with the dealership to allow a few cars to be sold at 'internet pricing' discounts.

Talking to two different sales managers, they will have some models "on" the program, but others not. Basically if they are offering 'deals' via the usual channels, they offer the same deals via these services. And likewise, a hot car, in high demand, where no one is dealing, will not be offered at silly discounts via AMEX, etc

for shitz and giggles one evening i plugged a Carrera S into the AMEX site and it was considerably cheaper with some nice options.
