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.

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.§
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.
