New Dell coupon...15% discount works with PS3/Gaming systems

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.

For one or more purchases that post to your account within 45 days of account opening, on a single sales receipt at a Sony-authorized dealer with a value of $299 or more (Qualifying Purchase), provided your account is not past due on the purchase date: 0% fixed for the first 12 billing cycles following the purchase date (promotional period). 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.

And what answer was that?

Man I hope this code is still running when I get home today in the afternoon. Is there a good chance that 20% off will come back?

Ordered the PS3 last nite and 15% worked fine. Used the new Sony card I had rush delivered from last week. We'll see if that comes off. Got a notice today that delivery was "delayed" until ship date of 12/24.

We'll see. That and 3% FC. And I was gonna buy the $489 bundle from Costco.

Thanks OP for the coupon!

I got in on this deal a while ago, and purchased my PS3 from Amazon last year, when they were doing all the bundle madness. I got my refund back on my Sony card for it. Interesting thing was, I never submitted any paperwork for it either.

OK....I applied for the card 1.5 days ago. I called them and asked them to rush the card. They said they couldn't promise but it showed up today....sweet. I also called Sony rewards 877-718-7669. I provided them my card # and they confirmed that I could use it at Dell and the $150 would apply. It will be credited to my account 2 days after the end of the billing cycle.

Won't stack with items already on sale.

Does it matter how much you put on the new credit card to get the rebate? Someone posted earlier about using Dell gift cards towards the purchase. Will this mess up the $150 Cash Back?

Hi all. I applied for and received the Sony credit card. While there is still a good 15% off coupon code at Dell.com, I called Sony to find out if this would cause any problems with the rebate. The rep that I spoke to told me that they look for a system purchased for 399, and that I would not receive the 150 off if I purchased the system using a discount code. I am planning to buy at $399.

I wonder about systems that are purchased as a package, such as a game/system package for $449 or something?

Does anyone have the phone number for the Sony customer support that knows the rules?

The link I used to apply for the card was: http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/gateway/?offerlink=150newps3

According the fine print at the bottom of the page says:

" *Reduced pricing based on purchase of PS3 at the $399 MSRP for 80GB or $499 MSRP for 160GB. "

BUT I think that this statement is in reference to the price of $249.99

I also called VISA and asked them. The fella read the requirements that were available to him, and he said that we SHOULD be able to go to an authorised retailer and get it for less than $399.99, but that he wasn't entirely sure of this. He transferred me to the Sony Style number, but they were closed. I'm going to call them again tomorrow.
