I made the purchase on 5/30/07.

HTH!

Was it a "random CSR" that you spoke with about this? The last one that I spoke with after I received my card indicated that he had no idea as to what the promotion was about..

Is there an option to request a refund check for the credit?

There's no option to request a refund check, but after 3 months of inactivity on the account, they will mail you the credit.

Made a $5.45 purchase on 5/31/2007, and my $100 credit showed up on 7/10/2007.

Thanks OP, oh wait - I am the OP!!

I got my credit of $100.00 on 7/10/2007. That paid for the BT Fee of $75.00, plus 25.00 in free gas!

This was my spouses's card, so now I will get one for myself.

Thanks OP!!

Same here. I applied for a Sony card almost 1 year ago. After I got the $100 reward, I've never used the card. Today I noticed I got an $100 credit adjustment with a transaction description of 'CouponID(Other)' I don't know where it comes from. Weird!

I opened my Sony Card account on or about February 11, 2006 <-- note, that's last year!

I *long* ago bought something trivial and received the $100 promotion check within a couple months.

Next up, I closed the account in order to consolidate it to another Chase card a couple weeks back as a prep step for another AoR (cutting down the number of Chase accounts). The Sony account then showed 0 credit limit and 0 balance until this past Tuesday. On 7/10/07 an adjustment (credit) of $100 appeared with a transaction description of 'CouponID(Other)'. So I called customer service and was transferred to the dispute department. They proceed to backtrack the source and find a murky reference to 'www.ImageStation.com' (apparently a Sony affiliate). No more info. No good reasons. I had never heard of that website before.

I guess it's time to let it sit for 90+ days and receive the auto refund check if nobody mysteriously claims it as a mistake.

Anyone seen something like this before? So should I look the gift horse in the mouth or what?

Just got mine yesterday as well. Thanks OP.

Yes. We have 4 Sony cards but only one card has this extra $100. I don't know if it's a mistake & they may take it back.
NeoWeapon08 said:yea, so is the CouponID an extra 100 dollars?

I got the card, purchased and got my $100 credit. I was going to request a check and close the account but today received the following. Anyone done this yet? I was going to add one of my cats as a user... Sounds like another $100
