How many times are you going to post this? This makes three...

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.

I am glad to see somebody can take advantage of this offer. I am getting one too even I have no balance to transfer. It is easy to get the $25x12=$300 instant bonus on $250 per month spending, my average monthly bill is like $1000.

I got this offer from a snail mail. It says "grocery stores, drugstores, hardware stores and restaurants" for 10% bonus, maybe includes more stores. More details may come with you new card, or you can call that 800 number to find out.

dweick said: OK, so where are the details I can read?

I don't see anything on the MBNA site about a 10% bonus for this card and it's been my experience that when cards offer a bonus for "many everyday purchases" they are referring to specific products from specific manufactures. uPromise is an example of this. Don't be counting on getting 10% on much of anything.

Is there a BT fee?

Could i just get a check to deposit into my checking account instead of a BT?

Where else is it posted?

Behind the 11 digit number there is a 4 digit source code, I need that, can someone let me knwo what it is.

CAN WE GET A SCAN???

I want to reiterate that the cash rewards limit seems to be $25 per month no matter which solicitation you got.... that's only $500 in spending, folks.

Pretty easy to max out...


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.

tooshy said: 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

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

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?

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.

Homer

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

never mind since I can't fix the link

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

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

relish said: 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.

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.

I called once concerning one of my accounts and they said they would contact me via e-mail. Of course I never heard from them but about a week later they showed up as pending and then the next statement the 500 points were there for both of my accounts. I collected 5000 points on both accounts and have redeemed them for $50 shipboard credit for my Celebrity cruise later this year. Now I am putting away these cards.
