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.I got the same message. Have you received your new Sony card? If yes, how long does it take?

Is there a way to check the status as to whether it is approved and what the credit limit is before you receive the card?

TIA

If you already have Chase accounts & online banking, the newly approved card may show up there within a week of the positive decision. Last time that's what happened with my Sony card. It's probably a simpler and quicker way just to call the number Glitch99 pointed out, though.

Same thing for me.. Really shocking.. I paid T-Mobile 2 days ago and today the $100 bonus showed even before the purchase posting to the account. The purchase posted online later in the afternoon.

They gave me mine before my first purchase. I haven't even received the card yet, but my chase online page shows the account at $-100.00. I've been watching it for a few days while waiting for the card, and it was at $0.00 yesterday.

Can't answer since I still don't have the card yet

I applied 8 days ago, and I think the card has shown for at least 3 days, maybe 5. Maybe 2, I haven't really been keeping track since there's nothing I can do about it either way.

(edit: misunderstood the question at first)

how long after you cancel an account should you try to sign up for the same account again?
for any credit card, not just this sony one.
has anyone done this?
thanks for your help

Amazing! I haven't even received the card yet, and it only showed with my other Chase accounts the end of last week, but today there's a $100 credit on the card! Thank you, OP, and thank you even more, Chase!

This is officially the fastest promotional credit I've received. Will still make a purchase once I get the card so that they can't take the bonus away for failure to comply with the terms.

Why not call them up (since you have to activate anyways) and request BT checks with promo rate sent to you? Also, depending on the amount, you can simply overpay another existing CC account and request a credit balance refund - there's an entire thread discussing ways of getting money from cards that don't allow BT to checking. Of course, if you can get an existing card that does offer BT to checking to give you fee-free BT offer, you can do that, then pay off with Sony card BT online/phone.

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.
Has anyone who received their New card recently get the Welcome check? I didn't get the Welcome check with my card.
