No matter how you look at it, it is a fantastic deal. Can't go wrong.

seems like a lot of work to get that extra 200... gotta use it for 3g of spending....

What's the interest like? That's a lot of spending...

Also, can you get it for 200 even if you don't spend 3K?

Edit - Reading. 300 if you don't spend anything. 200 if you spend 1500 and 100 once you spend 3K...

WTF... Spend $3000 to get $200 off ... This deal is a bit on the no-no side.

Can you do the same thing to get $300 off a TV or computer?
#9   showgunx - Posted 5:23 pm PDT 04/3/09 (281 Posts)
no problem, get the card and buy the machine. Then spend additional $3000 dollar before I delcare bankcrupy...

I know your a bunch of cheap SOB's but if you just change your spending for a few months to your sony card and pay it off at the end of the month you should have 3k in no time at all.

Its a good deal because you can get the $100 off for just signing up, plus I believe it is no interest for 12 months. I think the deal is $100 credit on your statement with any purchase of $349 or more. It has been dropping(started at $200 guaranteed, then $150, now $100). Here is a post from baconeals. Also, you may be able to purchase from any qualifying Sony Retailer, meaning you could buy a PS3 from Dell, use a 20% off code, and get a controller/game/filler to bring it over $349. Havent read these terms, but this is what they have been lately.

This is Sony's way of jump starting the economy.

its so easy to spend 3k in 6 months. ex: if you have a child in college use the card to pay for tuition and then pay the card off with scholarship money, financial aid. another ex: dialy purchases that you put on your db card just put it on this card and then pay it off from your checking acct.

Well, IF this is just a generic credit card then this could be a decent deal: $3k in 6 months is nothing if you buy everything with the card and don't carry a balance.

From the description I thought it was some kind of Sony-specific card (e only works with purchases from Sony).

They have debt transfer... What if you transfer 3K of debt?
#19   binaryvisions - Posted 6:31 pm PDT 04/3/09 (915 Posts)
#18, most debt transfers don't work that way. Any credit card that issues "points" for purchases doesn't issue the points for debt transfers.
