Looks like an awesome deal if you are a frequent Newegg customer. Or anyone purchasing over $300 worth of stuff, for that matter.

yea thats not cool

i guess if you always pay it off in full your good but ouch

Well, its great for people like me. I never paid any interest & finance charges on any of my credit card accouts because I just don't feel comfortable keeping any balance on my credit card. I read through the terms and didn't see anything bad except that, which is not bad for me anyways :p

I won't be doing that either, I have a Capitol One card with a nice low $500 limit and 5.99% fixed rate. As far as the business end goes, Newegg sure knows what they are doing profit wise, they'll make a killing with this idea...

Err...point out for me how this benefits a newegg customer over a normal CC, I can't find anything. Instant verification? So what.

3 months same as cash financing for orders over $300 with a minimum payment of 10% of the balance each month?

Seems like a neat deal for frequent Neweggers. So if you pay off the balance within 90 days, no interest? That's better than a standard credit card that has interest every month. Assuming of course you pay off your balance in those 90 days.

I'm applying! Need that video card.... :)
