anyone know if people that got in on the last one and canceled the card are eligible?

same questn... any replies?

so is this 12 months 0% fiancing on purchases plus FREE $100 with any purchase? please help me out!

ok so are there any DOWNSIDES to this card? it looks very good to me

I received my $100 statement credit two days after my first purchase posted. Great card for a quick reward.

Sony is issued by Chase. There are recent threads about chase cracking down/cancelling accounts plus putting the language in to make those who use accounts for promotional purposes only not eligible. MrVietnam's experience notwithstanding, there's a good chance one may not get $100 if one or more Sony cards were issued previously to the applicant.

On the other hand, I applied for a second Sony card about a year ago and got the $150 offer then - but the policies are apparently changing.

Wow, I just cancelled my Sony card a month or so ago - got the $100 in July, but it seems like lots of you are getting a repeat bonus. I'm deciding - should I or shouldn't I? Worst that can happen is they will deny me the bonus, right?

MrVietnam said:Like I said a few posts ago, you can get this bonus over and over as long as you open a new Sony Card. You don't even have to cancel your old Sony Card(s) to get the bonus with a new Sony Card. It is a pretty easy way to get a brand new crisp $100. Actually it is given to you by a statement credit on your Sony Card but it is very easy to send them an online message and have them refund your credit balance on your account and they will send you a check for $100 about seven to ten days later. I have gotten the bonus three times already ($150, $100, and $100) and now I am trying for my fourth bonus (I just applied online this morning).

Well, I just applied, and I hope that I'm as lucky as you. I got the "we'll get back to you in 30 days" response. My previous Sony card still shows up in my online banking with Chase even though I closed it about a month ago. I hope that they don't notice.

pupak said:Thanks OP! The offer also includes a 12 month 0% BT with $75 max fee. Good deal, just added it to my AOR list.

Balance Transfer APR: A 0% fixed APR for the first 12 billing cycles following the opening of your account.
Transaction fee: 3% of the amount of each transaction, but not less than $5.00 nor more than $75.00.

For the BT, does Chase allow you to request a check to be deposited directly to your checking account, or do you actually have to BT to another card?

If you wait until the account is opened, there is a 90 day restriction to "direct deposit funds into a checking account." But, the way around that is as mentioned in a previous post, to use the check that comes with the card itself. Chase said to make sure that the check is made payable to a person or bank, but NOT to CASH. For some reason, it could be categorized under cash advance as per the rep.
