Update:

Here is the status check

I got an error when I submitted the application, but the status shows mine has been approved.

Another suggestion: Please save a snapshot of the screen ad for future reference. You may need it just in case you don't receive the $150 TigerDirect gift card.


FAQs:
1. I was approved for Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express®. How do I get the discount?
We will email you a TigerDirect giftcard to the email address used to apply for the promotion once we receive verification
from American Express of your approval. Make sure that you set your email application to allow emails from TigerDirect.
com (simply add this domain to your Safe Senders list) so it doesn't end up in your SPAM folder.
2. When will I receive the email with my TigerDirect giftcard?

approved.
3. Can I take advantage of the offer if I am not a US resident?

$125 annual fee after 1st year.
$150 tiger direct gift card
$100 statement credit
$50 gift certificate using 5000 membership rewards
total = $300 !

I am sure $50 is for 5000 points, not $25.


Got my first statement online. the reward points are 0. I called and was told it takes up to 2 billing cycles to show the 5000 points. When I called in, I actually heard the automatic voice saying that I have 5000 points pending.

I just spoke to them at TD. I was on hold for over 25 minutes. The CSR did not know anything about it at first. He checked and told me that everybody that filled out the application and was approved in Oct and Novemeber would get it in 2 weeks. Will see.

He also said they have had a big response. Fatwallet effect!!

Scans of the envelope/contents for those that haven't yet received it:

Dang. Hot. A little strange is says $100 after 1st purchase in large graphic, but only 5,000 pts after 1st purchase in text below. Might be adding this one to my impending Bonus-O-Rama(end of page)...

EDIT: You have to copy/paste link.

There is computer error for this application. What does that mean?

I would also suggest you go through cardoffers.com. There is a 75 dollar bonus for this card. If you follow the link there also, there is also a 100 dollar statement credit after spending 100 dollars and 5000 points bonus after first purchase.

I don't think you can combine the two offers, though. I'd rather have the $150 from TigerDirect than the $75 from Cardoffers.

I got an error also. Not sure if they got the application or not.

I suggest using Explorer instead of Firefox if you get an error. Solved the issue for me.

BTW - I did not get instant approval either. Say I should hear by phone or mail within 8 days.

Good find OP!

I got an error using firefox when I applied 2 days ago. Just now checked my status and it's been approved.

Crap! Just checked status online and they have two apps for me. The first was approved already. I wonder if I get two of these cards, and if so, double bonuses.

Can you please share the Check App Status URL?

Sweet, thanks OP. Been jonesing to build an HD HTPC so a cheap barebones kit from Tiger will be the ticket for me. Got the same error as everyone else I guess -
Error 500: /ao/approve.jsp(402,16) According to the TLD attribute lpid is mandatory for tag atlas


alert mods    

My 2 cents: I don't trust tiger direct because they signed me up for magazines that were hard to cancel and rejected one of my rebates that was submitted correctly.


alert mods    

Applied, waiting for response.

I've 4 AMEX cards and still get this error

This is the best credit card deal I've seen in a while, basically a $250 sign up bonus. Wow, good job OP!

Also, if you like this one, check out the Free Flight to Europe thread with these two credit cards
