This sounds like a nice way to make that new Video Card upgrade a little cheaper.

Make a purchase and they will credit the account $100 in 8-12 weeks.

I agree. Those little children and elderly should be sued for everything their family is worth. Little bastards!

Right, $15 for a CD that costs about 5 cents to make; about 10 cents out of that $15 goes to the artist, now where does the rest go? Have you ever thought about that, Mr I-love-RIAA?

I never meant to imply that stealing is OK.... People/companies should be paid for the products they produce -- and an economic equilibrium will occur between price and product. It's up to the producer to decide how badly they want to risk gouging the consumers, and it up to the consumers how long they will tolerate being gouged. Whatever.

My opinion about Sony stems from them (and others) BUYING the politicians that work for us -- and quietly change the rules of fair use (see DMCA) while the public just sits and stares. And bNeta86 has obviously bought into the corporate sob story that if people are allowed fair-use, then the terrorists have won.

edit: That said... Sign up for the card, buy a bunch of CD's... and then cancel. Everybody wins.

I have a "?", how many CC is a person allowed in a year? I already signed up for like 2 this year (ebay, and buy.com), and will do this one too.

I got $200 credit from the credit card ... prolly their mistake, but I got a $100 credit last year after I signed up and again, this year for no reason!

 

[cchen]

You can sign up as much as you want.
It doesn't look good on your credit tho...

that sucks, I thought the more credit cards, the better your score should be since I pay my bills on time.

in the long run yes it will help.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think everytime you open a new CC, your score goes down a little, but your score begins to go up again the more you pay your bills on time, no late payments, etc. So eventually you'll receive higher credit score for being responsible with your CCs.

If I were you I would check out the finance forum on "hugebillfold." They have some very good posts about this exact topic- its more complex than simply applying / having too many or too few cards. Good luck to you - my simple answer is that $100 is worth going for as the hit to the score for applying for a card is only a few points usually - just pay it off on time. In the long run - the more cards you have - the better...to a point.

Signed up thanks OP.
Follow the link to my post on how to get another $100 from Citi.

citi diamond card is a better card.
$100 gc for signing up.
5% rebate on gas, supermarket, and drugstore purchases.
i already have $400 worth of gc after about 8 months.

noirish, sure, if you want to risk having your credit information on file with citi, the most unsecure and hacked into company in the world. 800,000 cardholders identities were stolen from their database earlier this year, do a google search. some vendors don't even accept citi cards, and many delay the charge 24-48 hours just to confirm its a legit order.

hmmm, i didn't know that, i have that card as well. I'm waiting for my $100 gc and then I will cancel it.

this card is issued by Chase. they called me and told me i already had five from them and they were inactive, so they gave me the option of closeing the five to get the card so i passed on it.

 

[AlWella]

I already have 2 Sony Cards...can I get $200 back if I use both of em? How about a $100 for using one of em?

 

[mainomega]

Just got the info... no mention of the $100 card. Just 2500 points for activating the card.

 

[Ecliptic]

sounds too good (and easy) to be true.... whats the catch?
