If this 10% like the OP says on everyday purchases, it would only take $250 spend to max out. That's 2 trips to the grocery store for Marge.


On the other hand, if you get a card for every pet you've got, you only need $250 credit line on each.

Unless I see the offer in print to know that anyone can apply and to see the correct code (sometimes wrong codes are given on this board), I would hold off. Chances are I will not get the same 10% instant rebate just by calling that 1-800 number.

LOL, no offence, but it sounds like you think that others have the obligation to convince you that this is a good deal, because for some reason it's important for everybody else that you apply for this card

I think he/she would prefer to see a scan of this offer if it exists.

If OP or anyone else who knows what the priority code is will post it, anyone can
1. call any CSR
2. tell him/her you got an offer in the mail with priority code XXXX
3. ask for the details of this offer to verify it's the right one

Santos L. Helper likes his Membership Rewards card for now.

Might get this one for the boy though.

I just called the 800 number, the CSR need to know what kind card/program I am applying, they have AAA, wordpoints, LL beans ... so what card are we talking about here?


alert mods    

I did not realize it is so complicated. Apparently, MBNA uses the same phone number to take application on different cards. I just added the code HGW4 to OP as someone PM me, it is the four digit code after the 11-digit ID number.

BTW, the 10% bonus is good on every retails.


alert mods    

I just called the 800# and referenced the code the OP listed to get details on the deal. Apparently, the deal is so new that it's not in their system yet. Unfortunately, the operator could not give me any details around the promotion. The only thing offer was, "if that what it says, then that's what it is." Hopefully someone that received the offer could post more details.

fotomaniak said:OP Thanks A Lot!

Just applied and got $5K credit limit (did not expect that, since I carry $30K on other MBNA card... but they asked me weather I have sufficient liquid assets to pay it off and I said "Yes" and the application was approved)

Update: I was not asked for source code or any other code. If you are asked for one, just told them that I found the info on the web. If you are asked for a code, hang up and call again.


LOL, I read your later post.....

Are you so confident that you could ask for this offer without so much as a source code, never mind read any of the fine print associated with this offer. I would be very surprised if you receive the nefarious 10% rebate.

also , can you provide a scan of this just in case they require us to fax it in for proof later on

We'll see, the card suppose to arrive in a few days - I'll post the info here when it arrives.

Both CSR who took the application and CSR from credit dept who approved it confirmed that this card comes with 10% cash back.
Pretty much the same way I applied for ATT 5% card, just got the # from the thread and called.

This reminds me of one time when Staples have messed up and their on-line $ off coupons could be used together, 3 coupons combined would give you $100 of $100. I submitted two orders right away. Told about this to my father and my uncle, but they were suspicious of the deal and wanted to find out more details before ordering. When they did submit their orders 2 days later, they got e-mail from Staples saying that there is a problem with coupons and the ourder could not be processed. My free scanner and a free printer arrived in about a week.
There fore my motto is: jump on the deal while it lasts;o)

never mind since I can't fix the link

Foto, seems you are right, Mr. Bean confirmed it.....


alert mods    

I did what fotomaniak did, before OP updated with the code.

The CSR found the program fine, after I gave her the 6/05 date. She verified the 10% promo and said the details will be mailed with the card.


alert mods    

I called and gave OP's source code because they asked where did I see it. Seems they were trying to zero in on the correct application offer.

The CSR confirmed it was the 10% rebate deal, even said maximum $25/month.

Got approval after speaking with the credit dept. but he noted that since I have another MBNA card, he wanted to realign the limits which was fine with me. I wanted to keep a higher limit on the Quantum card, so I transfered a small amount (4K). It is still a Platinum Plus according to the CSR, no minimum credit line needed it seems.

Oh, and I almost forgot, thanks OP, Foto and Mrbean

Any idea if there is a BT fee on this offer ..?? If there is no BT fee too, it's unbelievably good..!!!

Thanks OP and others who took the lead and confirmed..!!

in my experience: MBNA never offers BTs with no fee, nor they offer the rates for the life of the balance.
If you ask for fee to be waived they usually refuse, one time I succseeded in waiving the fee for the second BT to the same card (i.e. I transferred $18K paid BT fee, then transferred another $4K and the fee was waived(only after I asked, they don't do it automatically).

Usually their BT fee has $50 max, some cards though have $75 max.
So if you have a small credit limit it's not worth it.

I just applied and got rejected for the card.. are they strict with accepting people

yangocc, what do you mean the rebate is on "every retails"? I gather you mean ever "grocery stores, drugstores, hardware stores and restaurants"? Thanks for posting this.

For me, the interesting feature of this card is the restaurants piece. Most ED spending cards, notably Citibank 5% dividends, don't include that as an ED category.


Actually, anyone using this for the 10% back will almost certainly NOT want to do a BT also, since you'll accrue interest on the ED purchases. It's always better to segregate cards used for BTs from those used for purchases.

"grocery stores, drugstores, hardware stores and restaurants" is what's in the offer letter. "every retails" is what I was told when I called in. I asked if gas station is good for this 10% bonus, she told me it is good on every retails. I will update with more details when I get my card next week.
