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.
