This is one of the best credit card sign up premiums I have ever seen. I first noticed the offer when browsing the NY Jets web site on Draft Day. I applied online and received the credit card in a week. Due to the fact that you need to enter personal information, I was reluctant to post the deal until I was sure it was legit. You can also call MBNA to apply as shown in the offer. Original Link to New York Jets Website Click Apply Now to view current offer.
Be prepared to wait. You need to make purchases or transfers totaling $100 on the card. Then after your first statement period ends, you have to wait 8-12 weeks for the Nano. So that's 3-4 months in all. They can substitute an item of equal or greater value, so let's hope that doesn't happen.
It hasn't been easy being a Jets fan (although I like the Giants too) but it is nice to see such a generous offer from MBNA and the Jets. Although you don't have to be a Jets fans to apply, your FW spirit has to be pretty strong if you're a Patriots fan to carry a Jets card
How about a little Jets green if you like the deal. Good luck and be careful not too over extend yourself on credit.
Great News!!! Received my Nano on 5/24/06. Much, much faster than expected. Didn't even get my first bill yet. I could hardly believe it.
Update 7/26/06 After a lengthy lull, people have been receiving Nanos since 7/21/06. Also, letters were received by some people indicating they would be receiving a Nano if they made a qualifying purchase or transfer and encouraged use of the card. If you get a letter, it does not mean that you haven't already qualified. I got the letter after I had received the Nano.
Update 6/20/06 A few people have reported receiving their Nanos the last few days. Those who have called are usually told it will take 6-10 weeks. Member named svenett, says he works for MBNA (now part of Bank of America) and has stated that those who qualified for the Nano should receive one.
To answer some of the questions that have arisen: The Nano being shipped is a 1GB black model, with a Jets logo engraved on the back. (Two people have reported theirs wasn't engraved.)
The Nanos are manufactured by Apple under a reseller program. You should received a sealed box, just like you'd get in a store.
The Part# PA353LL may be unique to this offer. I'm trying to determine this, but haven't reached a conclusion yet. You can find the Part# on the bottom of the box, or on the Nano itself by looking under Settings->About->Model.
Padded envelopes are being shipped from a Delaware address via UPS. You will NOT receive any tracking info.
Balance transfers DO count as qualifying transactions. Some have taken awhile to go through.
Offer Code is M0FB. The customer service phone number is 1-800-421-2110. If you call, ask the CSR to verify that you have qualified under the promo code M0FB.

TRACK THE NANOS IN YOUR AREA!! NANO NANO WHOOOHOOO!
If you track by reference number on the UPS website, use reference # 2268 and enter your zip code and you can see how many are heading your way. Of course, there is no way to figure out which one is yours, but I guess if you don't find any, then it means you aren't getting one.
The fine print (as the OP pretty much stated) § To qualify for this offer, your new account must be used to make any combination of purchase or cash advance transactions (including balance transfers) totaling at least $100 within 90 days of the date the account is opened by MBNA (exclusive of transaction fees, if any).

This seems like a pretty good offer; would be much better if the iPod didnt have the Jets logo engraved on it

It doesnot say that... What is qualified use(s)??
The guy I spoke with didn't know much about it. He said it would say on the site. If it only said for "qualifying transaction" then there shouldn't be a minium purchase, but that is just what he said.
Yeah well I figured it had to do with my app-a-rama this week. My fico is 810 but with all the cards I have applied for I can understand. Oh well, will just wait and see.

I got instant approval. Credit line of only $6100.00 though. I do have a credit score of 744 that my be why.
