Another sly option would be to do the GM key recall, get the replacement key and cut that. Although I hear getting a spare key made isn't that expensive as long as you can find a locksmith with a laser cutter.
In order to leave the cut key in the ignition without draining the battery, there is some extra wire cutting/splicing to do. I did all the cuts on the t-harness instead of the actual car wires. Oh, and the cut key is removable if needed to re-enable steering lock... and then you can use your normal key as a failsafe.

FWIW, my Chevy dealership got me a brand new key fob (switch blade key) for under $80 (In case people need spares)
