so I get a ps3 for $100 if I spend over $3000 over a 6 month period. Not sounding like a deal to me Ben

seems enticing.. but you know you'll end up paying more for it.

Even if I had 3k to spend on electronics in the next 6 months I'd save way more and get way more than $200 worth off by NOT shopping at the Sony store.

$3000 spending for 6 months is not a problem but I wonder whether the spending is good for normal purchases using the credit card or it must be at the Sony store?

It's a Visa card, so you can use it anywhere that takes Visa.

I just did this deal no more than 2 hours ago. I signed up for the card a received immediate approval. They give you a temporary number to use. Before you check out, they give you the option to talk to a csr. I asked him if I got the PS3, would I receive the $100 instant credit (just wanted to make sure. And im not planning on spending $3k, so ill take the free hundo). He said it takes 8-12 weeks. SlikcDaels website has a forum about it, and people have gotten the credit anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Plus, you get a free controller, making it at least $154 savings.

Even if you dont want to spend tons of money, just signing up for it and purchasing ANY item from SonyStyle over $299, you will get a $100 credit. I paid $426 total, i will receive a $100 credit and got an extra wireless controller. Good deal if you ask me

you can spend the 3k anywhere which is easy with bills and if you have a child use it for tuition.
I want to see the $320 deal again.

What about payments to Paypal? Do those count towards your $3k?

That's a Visa card, which you can use for anything. So it is a good deal. If you are not spending $500/month (groceries, bills, etc) then you shouldn't be buying a console in the first place.

Dont understand why people knocking this? If you sign up for a card, buy a PS3, you get a $100 credit and a free extra controller. Awesome deal.

mrayray09 you can read everyone's comments just fine but you missed the part where it says you have to spend a whopping $3000 within 6 months part?

This is a good deal. Sign up, do the coin deal where you buy $3000 in coins from the gov site (free shipping no tax). Return the coins at the bank to pay off the credit card bill == $100 ps3

last year I signed up for a card with $150 credit. After 3 months I called Sony because no $$$ posted to my account as promised. They sent me a letter saying there was no promotion associated with my account. I called again and a rep told me a different story that I had only $100 credit. Even the rep is white, an out sourced Indian could do a better job when talk to customers. I am still fighting to get my $150 credit.
Be sure to get a screenshot of the offer on the web site or you end up like me having no hard proof.

Cyborger, read my post. You get a $100 credit for signing up and buying a PS3. Than, if you choose to, you can get another $100 credit for spending $1500 and another $100 credit for the next $1500, totaling to $300 credit for buying $3400 worth of stuff. If you dont spend the $1500 x 2, you still get the single $100 credit if you buy a PS3. I have read the website, I did it myself, and I talked to a CSR. This is a great deal. Save 25% on a PS3, plus a free controller, making it a 34% savings WITHOUT having to spend $3000.

"whopping $3000"
this is a deal, but probably not for you if you can't pay off the balance in full.
