how long did it take to get the cc ?

I used it for the PS3, from $399 it come to $339.99 + tax and free shipping. And hopefully with the $150 rebate from Sony (used the Sony CC), effective price shoudl be around $200.

I've tried this coupon with the Xbox Pro and even with 15% discount by the time you pay tax it is still cheaper to got the eBay route at a mere 8% which kinda sucks!

I think there are two types of Sony credit card deals right now, one which gives you an instant $150 off, only at SonyStyle.com, and the other (playstation card link) gets you a $150 rebate and works at any Sony authorized dealer, including Dell. So i believe you should be able to use the Dell code AND get the $150 off, depending on which card you use.

fyi..don't mean to make this more complicated than it is, but there alot more (confusing) information about these two deals in this post.

Dell is listed as a authorized dealer at

http://www.SonyStyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentDisplayView?hideHeaderFooter=false&storeId=10151&catalogId=10551&langId=-1&cmsId=authorized_dealers

not retailer?

I would think Dell will work according to the terms you agree to when you sign up. The only thing is the * Reduced pricing based on purchase of PS3 at the MSRP of $399 but the terms say qualifying purchase of 299. No where in the terms does it say anything about the discount of $150 other then the main image when you apply. There seems like a ton of loopholes for Sony to deny this.

here is the page to sign up for this deal as well http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/gateway/?offerlink=150newps3

the other links specify Sony style in the terms.

If promotional balance is not paid off by the end of the promotional period, 10.99% variable from qualifying purchase date.b

The problem is the technicality between "retailer" and "dealer." Sony can very well say that the list on their website of authorized dealers isn't applicable as authorized retailers.

Where do you request proof of purchase at?

About the Sony card rebates:

There is no one story about whether the $150 requires that you get it at Sony.com.
It depends on the fine print of the offer you signed up with.
Some of them require that you buy it directly from the Sony site.
Others permit purchase from any authorized Sony vendor.

The only way to know for sure is to either:
(a) read the fine print of the offer you signed up under, or
(b) if you have the card, call or email the card provider.

For mine, I emailed Chase customer service thru the credit card website for the account, and got a very clear answer promptly.
