Lava Hot - $150 Statement Credit for Sony Credit Card Signup

[Glottis]

Yeah, thought I might've been rejected for some strange reason, I hadn't heard a thing from them. Got worried whem my parents, brother, and a friend who I told about this both already received theirs and they all applied AFTER me. But lo and behold, it was in the mail today! Thanks OP!!!

I received the card today and the purchase APR after the Introductory rate is 15.24%, which is awfully high. That's nothing compared to the Default rate of 32.24%! I didn't even know they were allowed to go that high. Use this thing, get your 150.00 and toss it.
Lian-Li PC-A10B, here I come. :thumbsup:

Thanks OP!

That's my plan.

Well, I'll stop using it and hang onto it for a few months, wondering if they'll try another propmotion to keep people active. If nothing comes, then it's a goner. I doubt it'll happen but it won't cost anything to find out (LOL won't cost as long as I don't use it, which won't be tough if it's in my safe deposit box located inconveniently on the other side of town).

Hell Yes! I thought in Ohio, there was a cap on interest rates..27 or 28%, or something crazy like that. Guess Not?

Can someone with this credit card please post the Customer Service phone # printed on the back of the card? I have some questions that are unanswered regarding balance transfers. Thanks!

thanks, got instant approval over the net.

 

[Stoneburner]

i just purchased some gas with the card, will that trigger the credit? may be a stupid question but the initial few posts muddied this up for me.

 

[GTFan]

Any purchase, any amount. It'll show eventually.

 

[BadThad]

Just got my card today, rate is 6.99% with 0% until Dec 2007. I'll report back if I get my $150 credit after a purchase.....FINGERS CROSSED!

 

[slightlyhuman]

still haven't received mine.

hmmm... if i don't have it in a week then i'll call and see what's up.

 

[rmrfhomeoops]

I'm planning on taking advantage of the 0% interest by making the minimum payment and then pay in full once the 12 month period is over. I've always made the payment in full to avoid interest but want to take advantage of 0% for now.
If somebody knows what kind of credit score hit I'll be by doing so that will be greatly appreicated. My sony CC limit is 5000 and I do have over 20K in CC limit so far. I also do have a pretty decent fico score (over 700 out of 750) but I don't plan on taking out a loan within the next two years. Please advise. Thanks.

Got the card 2 weeks ago, use it to purchase my 40" lcd tv. so far haven't see the $150 credit yet.. hope it will show up soon...

 

[88NovaTwincam]

Gonna go for the Audio/Video Receiver STR-DG500 for S199!

I've had a SONY STR-D790 from the 90's 4 LONG TiME (it was a refurb too) and still using it!!

To summarize what's kind of purchase do i have to make?? then wait 4 the dang credit......

Thanks OP, I could not resist free money anymore, I got instant approval. The terms of this card are horrible. This is the second freebie from a Chase card I will get. I will take my 150.00 and cut the card up and cancel it.

 

[Extelleron]

Is there a way to call up to apply so you don't have to put your SSN in online?

whats so horrible about the terms? I thought it is pretty 'standard', those over the limit, late fees are high, but if you dont go over the limit and not late, you have nothing to worry about it. and chances are, you can probably call and have them wavie it for you once.

All I can say is that compared to the terms of the one card I do use, this one is horrible, I would not bet Chase would forgive one late payment, but YMMV. Mine is as good as in the shreader as soon as I get the credit.

 

[slightlyhuman]

for those who have gotten the $150 credit, how did it show up in your account?

I tried and also couldn't do it at first. Then waited 5 minutes, tried again, and it worked.

 

[tbogstad]

i don't know why a free $150.00 is not the hottest thread on here.
this should get a sticky, maybe if we get 10 million people to sign up, therby costing CHASE 1.5Bbillion dollars, maybe we can bankrupt them
