Look at the last couple of pages before applying. Several people are having problems getting the credit

I've gotten four credits on four offers within 2 weeks of making a purchase. YMMV.

who does Sony usually pull? I know Chase/bank one pull Experian, but Chase alone pulls TU. at least wher eI live, and chase-Circuit City pulls Equifax.

guess that people don't want to mess with their credit record too much. So choose a better deal rather than do both.

Did anyone get approved instantly ?
I was told to wait for USPS mail to know if I am approved or not.

$150 Visa Debit Card is a BETTER deal without a doubt.

$100 CREDIT for opening a credit card is also one of BETTER deals as well. People were all over this same offer before and disappointed when it was over.

This is far better than the variety of Citi card $25-$100 promos that give you Thank You Points which must be redeemed for particular items. This is much, much better than most of the Checking/Savings account offers that I have gone through to get $50-$175 for opening an account.

The idea that people are flaming this post is INSANE. My post is (was?) the WHOLE POINT of this message board: To post Financial Deals.

As pointed out above - the Hot Deals attitude - "This deal is better than yours" is not really necessary in this forum. You can and should apply for a bunch of offers.

Will a NEW credit card put a "ding" on your credit report? Yes, yes it will - DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH? - cause I do, and so do many people around here, the $100 is by FAR worth hit your credit score will take. Please stop posting misinformation and bashing one of the few on topic posts around here.

It can be bad to apply, apply for credit cards - but what is truly bad is to USE them unwisely. I myself have over 20+ cc's - most from promos posted here - and I still have qualified for a top teir mortgage, car loan, and have a 720 credit score. I get a rejection now and than for a cc cause I have too many inquries, or I don't get the "instant approval" but an approval in the mail, but it is a price to pay... Unless you are going to stupidly go out and purchase $6000 worth of Furntire or Plasma TV's from a store credit card the inquires don't really matter.

I for one, say thanks, I have gotten over 1k in these kind of offers since Jan, thanks to FW members, and my credit seems to be doing just fine.
Informing us is the idea, the choice is up to the individual, so negative remarks not helpful.

No reckner I could have sworn FWF was about only posting a deal if it's better than any other current deal.

Seriously though, not that it matters which is "better", but IMO this deal is more attractive to people like me who probably wouldn't get approved for that Schwab jobber. I'd rather get $100 in exchange for my TEMPORARY, INSIGNIFICANT credit score ding than nothing.
