Hi. I just got my card and I am a bit confused about where I must buy the system from to get the $150 credit. The email that came after I applied says "you MUST purchase a PS3 system with your new PlayStation Card (?PS3 Purchase?) at an authorized Sony retailer such as SonyRewards.com, Sony Style store and SonyStyle.com." Does this mean I can buy from any authorized retailer or at the three, Sony-affiliated retailers that are listed. Ideally, I'd like to buy from Dell, because Dell will give me an extra 15% off. Has anyone had experience buying from Dell? How long does it take to get the credit if I buy through Dell? Do I need to do anything, other than simply buying the system, to get the credit, like entering a promotion code?
Thanks and happy holidays,
Todd

Signed up - also got the Blu-Ray remote. Total cost will be $454 less $300... (Had to pay TAXES).

I NEVER RECEIVED MY $150 back and it's been more than 16 weeks already! I applied for the $150 off $299 purchase or more Sony card before the deadline, and I was approved. After 45 days, I called to see if I was still eligible for the $150 off $299 or more (I spoke to 2 different Sony card service representatives), and they both told me I was still eligible as long as I make the purchase from Sony Style. I made the purchase on November 17th, 2008 from a brick and mortar Sony Style retail store in Houston, TX, but I never received my $150 back (and it's been more than 16 weeks!). I've called over 10 times and they are giving me the run around and refusing to honor the $150 back to my account. Last week they claimed they had no promotion on file for me, and today they are saying that I didn't make the purchase within 45 days! Is anyone else having this problem of Sony not honoring the credit back!?

Did anyone save a screen capture of the terms for the $200 off first purchase of $349 or more without saying it had to be from SonyStyle? I forgot to and want to make sure I have myself covered in case they try to pull anything. Please PM me if you do!

It worked if you buy from Dell as I am already done in three cards. Make sure you buy it in 45 days since the account openned.
