Our local credit union thinks we're all math illiterate

The local credit union is running a commercial right now, offering a car loan with a "tasty low rate" AND 1% cash back when you get your loan. That sounds exciting, until you do the math and realize that if you buy a car at $10,000...then your "cash back" is a whopping $100. Enough to fill up the gas tank 1.5 times. I am not sure why I am supposed to be excited about that.
