Searched the forums but couldn't find this posted already.
Link to Card

I saw this directly from the BofA website.
Looks like you get a free MLB Jersey and 1GB Nano if you have a purchase or balance transfer of $2000 or more. The BT is 0% APR but 3% transfer fee.

Update
I originally applied for this card and as others have mentioned here, after you apply, the page will refresh to the BofA website. I was watching TV while I applied so I didn't even realize it. So I applied again thinking that it didn't go through the first time. But actually I ended up with two cards. $10900 with the first card, $2500 with the second card.

Applied on 9/14/06 and recieved the first card on 9/22/06 and the second card on 9/25/06.

I recieved a XL Giants jersey yesterday on 10/28/06. Its a decent looking short-sleeve jersey but it has a MBNA logo on one of the sleeves.

Balance Transfer initiated 10/5/06.
iPods recieved on 12/20/06.

For those who want to find out if they have iPod in transit go Here and enter 3307 in Shipment Reference box then of course pick US in Destination Country pull down menu, then enter your zip code, hope this helps some people.

MBNA clearly didn't learn their lesson after the New York Jets MC deal. Either that, or they made a mint off BT fees (I know they did from me). Solid! If I hadn't done an AOR recently and taken out a big BT on my NYJ card, I'd totally do this. Thanks, OP!

Actually, you don't have to do a BT to get the Ipod...just 2k in purchases...much cheaper that way.

In addition, receive an Apple® iPod nano
by making any combination of purchase or cash advance transactions
(balance transfers included) totaling $2,000.§

1gb nano?

Just curious, the NYJ card was offering a BT rate of 3% transfer fee with no max, did you still make the BT or were you able to get them to put a ceiling on the BT fee?

interesting... does anyone know the rate of points to cash? You get 1 point per dollar.

I also rec. did an AOR and added some bofa/mbna cards, but might be worth a shot since they could just decrease your limit on another card to get this one...

This $2,000 purchase/cash advancd/BT requirement is really a turn-off. Still trying to decide whether it's worth the hard Experian inquiry or not.

Any idea how much time we have to satisfy the $2,000 requirement? Unless necessary I don't want to waste my purchases in categories that could otherwise earn me 5% to 6% rewards with my other cards. But my "everything else" purchases could take a while (3 months perhaps) to reach $2,000.

Yeah I'll wait on applying for a card with free nano until they start giving those out.

Hmm....I do have a transfer I could do to get this but 1gb Nano is kinda small in todays market. I have a few Yankee jerseys already....

I just don't see it worthy of my credit and time but for some of you....GO FOR IT...it's not that bad of a deal if you need/want both items

assuming 1gb nano now sells around $120, it is a 6% back deal for first 3 months.
