It's a great way to get some awesome rebates. I got $160 in rebates on 4 tires, saved a lot of money. For those of you that complain about late fees, be responsible, be aware of your due dates and pay your bill on time. Stop blaming the card company. I have had zero problems with this card, got some great deals on tires. I use the card to purchase all my tires for all my vehicles. Love it.
This card has been nothing but a hassle for me. I only signed up because I had an accident and needed a large amount of repairs that I could not afford. For some reason, they sent the card to an address that I'd lived at 5 years ago and I never received it. Thanks to credit karma I saw that my debt on the card had increased and I called Goodyear. They told me my payment was late even though I NEVER received a bill or my card. I could not sign up online without a card number, which I did not know, so there was no way for me to pay my bill until I called. Anyway. they took off the late fees, updated my address, and they sent me my card. I finally get the card and it won't work to register for the website. So I call again. They told me that this car number had been cancelled and they were sending me another one. OMG so frustrating. They couldn't even tell me when my bill is due next and I STILL cannot register for the online account access. Don't ever get this card. Nothing but problems.

DO NOT GET THIS CARD!!!!!!!!!
THIS CARD IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! THE INTEREST RATE IS EXTREMELY HIGH, you will be paying hundreds in interest.
Conniving and deceitful
it is set up to take advantage of people....... They will not work with you. Make sure you very carefully read the fine print and then re read it and then one more time. .... And then find another way to pay for the work you need done so that you are not royally screwed! Stay away from this card. ..... Maybe Goodyear all together.
do not get this card
The amount of credit charged for compared to the product that is sold is not worth it. The rebate is very hard to get. Only REBUILT - NOT NEW parts are available for sale. Belt dressing was applied to the serpentine belt they chose. The tension was never adjusted correctly. The mechanic just kept spraying belt dressing on the belt. Grease was left all over my car.
Read the contract! it's cheaper to wait a month and pay cash for a repair. Take the bus - it's less stressful.
Only usable on Goodyear.com or in-store.
If you own a car or are in the process of doing so, this is a convenient card to have. If you are leasing or do not plan on having a vehicle very long this will bite your credit in the butt.. I say this because If you do not use this card actively after 2+ years they will close it and it will leave a negative impact on your credit score. You can only use this card on the Goodyear.com site or in a Goodyear store.. You can't even use it on the Goodyear corporate site to purchase miscellaneous items, like Goodyear clothes or accessories to keep this paperweight of a card looking OK on your credit history.
Took Advantage of the 12 Month No INT
I enjoy not having to pay interest for the first 12 months. I had a blown head gasket, which was a very expensive fix. I got approved for a credit limit of $2,000 with this card. The total cost was $2,089 so I only had to pay $89 out of pocket. They did a good job fixing it too. I always have had a good experience with Good Year though. However, this card does have a very high APR, nearly 30% after the first 12 months, so I may consider cancelling it. Although, I am always on time with payments. I never have missed a payment and I never carry a balance from month to month unless I have to. I have good credit though. There are better cards, but this card is a good option if you need expensive work done that you can't afford out of pocket. To anyone complaining about late fees, be responsible. Pay on time or even early if you are able to. I always pay a week before the due date at least. No missed payments on my credit history and I won't complain about the card company if I ever do miss a payment.

Excellent
I deliver papers and go through tires fast. I use the no interest finance all the time.
