I got the earlier deal and the $100 several months ago. How surprised I was when I got an email from them yesterday thanking me for opening my account and telling me that I would get $100. Of course I thought it was a mistake, but low and behold I got credit for another $100 today. I wonder if they will catch it.

I got the same email, and I see a $100 credit for the second time. Iam not complaining.

Did you guys sign up for another card? (The new deal)?

Mdutt, I didn't get a hit on Experian either, and I applied the same day. Looks like new customers will have to wait a while, or Sony's trying to figure out how to reneg on the $100.

I called 1-888-215-3049 two times, first time, it is automaticaly , and said that I was approved, then second time, they transfer me to the CSR, CSR said that my application is pending, so how can you explain it?

Just got an offer for this in the mail, and now I see it's on FW.

I turned 18 a few months ago and have no credit history. What are the chances of me being approved for this? I would like to start building my credit history and it'd be a nice bonus to get $100 out of it. I'm going to make a post later on asking about building credit history... Heh, all I know is that I'm going to be *very* careful because having bad credit sucks

Called 1-888-215-3049. CSR said I was approved and should see the card in 2-3 business days. I applied 5/7.

Just got my card yesterday...time to make my only purchase

Sorry, but I think it's unlikely that you'll get this card. I would always get denied for non-student cards. My first card was a CapitalOne student card (which completely sucks, but will build you credit). Then I got Citi student cards. I'd recommend the Citi Dividend (5% back on groceries, gas, drugstores) and the Citi mtvU (5% back on restaurants). Every so often they run a $50 statement credit to signup offer.

don't think thats true. i got my first credit card when i was 17 and it wasn't a student card. i never got a student card before. i'm 21 right now and got at least 8 active CC with $35,000+ total limit. and everytime i get a pre-approved letter, i always get the card. that happens for my friend too, so i think when its pre-approved there is a much better chance of getting it.

if you're a student apply for a student card.
