As many people received the second round of invitations recently. I update OP to reflect this
The original invitations in March gives phone # 1-800-458-5189 to apply, new invitation in Nov is 1-800-819-5965
In Oct. they changed the term, so that we do not need to call 1-800-799-2329 for redemption, the customer service phone # 1-800-477-6000 will handle this.
Update1: And I just noticed the rebate information is available online and by call 1-800-477-6000, you can make redemption online and by phone too.
This card is falt 2% Cash Back on all purchase. My card doesn't mention the cap and I haven't received mails about changes yet, but new invitation is saying the annual cap is $400
The rebate check come back slow, you should expect to wait for about 4 weeks. But it will come, I have received 3 checks already.
Update2: Waa, I received my rebate check, it is truly unexpected, great Xmas gift for myself. Used their online system to request check on 12/12, it is mailed on 12/17, and received on 12/23. Faster than before. And the Check under the title of "Union Plus Cash Rewards Program", I nearly throw the envelop away.
Requested another check on 1/1/05 for both Citi Dividend and Household, Citi arrived on 01/10, Household arrived on 01/12.

Can I apply without first receiving an invitation?:Possibly!
As of late February '06, two users have received the 2% card in conjunction with approved applications for the Best_Buy store credit card. One of these cards was the Platinum version while the other was the Gold variety.
The BB store credit card application forms have an additional HSBC card that is not specifically identified so there is some chance the card issued will not be the 2% variety. Thus far, the only invitation free issuances reported have been the result of B&M applications.
03/17/2006 - A third member has reported that the B&M application did not cause issuance of the 2% card.
04/04/2006 - A fourth member tested the B&M application, but received a card without the 2% program.
----
There is also an online application which has yet to be proven to have any 2% card issuance potential. None of the online applicants have received a 2% card. As of 03/17/2006, four members are known to have tried.
----
All of the secondary cards issued seem to include a $25 BB gift card benefit that is issued after the first purchase.

sounds like a great card to me. best one in a long long long time, in fact. heck, better than FBB (and no one, not household or anyone else, can be worse than Farm Bureau Bank) hope they invite me!
Thanks for the info -- but could you give a little more? Could you please at least post the name of the card ("Household Cash Rewards" or whatever)? Fine print details (annual caps, etc) of course would alos be appreciated, if you have time. Thanks.

<< I bet it will be discontinued in about a year----another bait and switch. >>
Heres whats going to happen:
1. They roll out the card 2. Every FW member and lurker starts charging up the max every month to get rewards but never carrying a balance to pay interest. 3. They see the rewards program is costing them a LOT more than anticipated. 4. They kill the program within months.
