Has anyone ever had trouble applying a BVG to something purchased at say, CompUSA or Best Buy?

since we're talking about amex. anyone have one of these cards? i think this is the best card amex has to offer. no annual fee, bvg, and cash rebate. can't beat that with a bat. sad thing is that you have to be invited to apply for it (i.e. you can't apply anywhere on their website, i spent hours checking and calling them).
iow, this card would make the deal even better. anyone care to share how they got theirs?

Here's an Amex card that has NO ANNUAL FEE, includes BVG, comes w/ an introductory 0% APR, lets you pay your balances off over time, AND CAN ACTUALLY BE APPLIED FOR:
American Express Optima® Platinum Card®
If I'm ultimately unable to get the American Express® Platinum Cash Rebate Card, I'll go for the Optima Platinum Card.
*UPDATE*
After 4 phone calls to Amex, and after spending what seemed like an eternity on the phone with the 4th Amex CSR, I'm supposed to receive in the mail an application for the American Express® Platinum Cash Rebate Card (it'll take 5-7 business days). I asked the CSR to send me several applications (for family members). If the application I receive is generic enough for anybody to use, I'll scan it and throw it up on a web-site for anybody interested in applying. For those who want to try going through the hell I just went through (getting Amex to mail you an application), feel free to call American Express at 1-800-678-0745. Explain that the card is clearly listed on-line at home3.americanexpress.com/cards/benefits but can neither be applied for on-line nor by phone.

CSR just told me that they're no longer offering the American Express Platinum Cash Rebate Card. she said it's discontinued that's why they no longer have it available in their system.
I guess the Optima Platinum Card is the best one to get now....

I am on my 6th $1000 from AMEX. 3 different cards across 2 years. They simply haven't a clue.

Ah, common guys, what is BVG? Acronym demystification wanted...
Well, what does "BVG" stand for? I do have an Amex card, but never heard of "BVG".Originally posted by: Johnbear007

BVG is a pricematching service for some credit cards. I really dislike these posts, because most people don;t have BVG, and these threads clutter up the forum while only a few people can take advantage of them
