I got my chase sony card today! This is my 11st credit card since I came here last year. My first credit card is from National City Bank. At first, I’d like to write about my application experience with chase sony card. I submitted my application for Chase Sony Card on Aug 1st, 2007. I used the link from Chase.com which will give me 1,500 points bonus. I didn’t get the immediate response which means I have to get approved by a credit analyst. In the next two weeks, I still didn’t get any information from Chase. On Aug 17th, I received a call from Chase. But I missed that call becasue I was in my bathroom! Then several days later I received a letter which asked me to sent out my bank statement, power bills or phone bills to verify my personal information. I faxed all the required materials on Aug 23rd. Then after two weeks, I didn’t get any information. Wait and wait…… On Aug 26th, when I bought a cell phone from Amazon I applied for an Amazon.com visa card. On Aug 28th, I got a call from Chase to verify that I did apply for this card. I got approved immediately! However, I still didn’t have any information about my Chase Sony Card! I called Chase this afternoon. That guy put me hold for about 10 mins, and then told me that he approved my application and I should receive my new Chase Sony Card in 7-10 days! Amazing! I got my Sony Card finally! The phone number is 800-480-1870. I think this phone number belongs to the new accounts department. With this phone, you can talk to the credit analysts in person which will give you great chance to get new credit card. SO please remember this number.
Let’s talk about Chase Sony Card. At Chase.com, you can find that Chase is offerring 1,500 points after first purchase. However, when you apply for this card at sony.com, you can see the offer is “get a sony reader for $49.95 plus S&H”. That’s about $250. Are they differen’t? In fact, they are offerring tha same thing. You use about $50 to buy extra points and combine the 1,500 points to buy a sony reader. At the same time, you can get 100 ebooks for free! Anyway, the 1,500 points is equal to $150. There seems another offer from sonystyle.com—get $150 credit with $299 purchase at sonystyle.com. I think chase sony card currently is offerring the best signup bonus. At last, a kind reminder—this deal ends in Sep 30th, 2007. Hurry up!

Hi, I know this a past post, but I still have one question about this. You mentioned that 1500 points=$150, however, in http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/learn/, it seems it’s just $15. Thanks

Hi Jiang. My fault.It’s actually only $15 for 1500 points.
