Chase Sony Card is really a hot card right now. This card just finished the promotion which will give 10,000 bonus points to their card members for spending $500 in a month. Today I just received another email from Chase Sony Card about the new promotion.
From April 1 through June 30, 2008, simply use your Sony Card to make at least three payments on any of the following bills:
• Telephone
• Insurance
• Internet Service Provider
• Utilities
• Cable/Satellite TV
• Wireless
So how to get the bonus?
1. Visit www.chasebillmanager.com to locate and contact the companies that bill you
2. Pay your bill with your Chase Sony Card
3. Get $75 when you make at least three qualifying payments from April 1 through June 30, 2008
There are two ways to pay your bills. You can make a single payment by using Chase Sony Card or set up automatic payment in your merchant account. I believe most of us will not use the Chase Sony Card to pay bills all the time. I suggest you guys use the “single payment” method. For example, I’m using Chase Freedom Card which will give me 3% cash back to pay my cable and wireless bills. In order to get the $75 bonus, I will use the “single payment” method to pay my wireless and cable bills for a while and then switch to use my Chase Freedom Card again.
Fine print:
This $75 statement credit will be awarded for 3 bill pay transactions from April 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008 at any of the eligible merchants assigned to one of the following merchant category codes: Telecom (4812, 4814), Pay TV/ISP (4899, 4816), Insurance (5960, 6300), Utilities/Fuel (4900, 5983). Transactions processed by a merchant that does not process transactions under the codes will not qualify for this offer. When you qualify for this statement credit, it will be reflected on your monthly credit card statement 8-10 weeks following the last calendar day of the promotional period. Only one $75 statement credit will be awarded for this offer.
In order to confirm this offer, I called Sony card customer service. I was assured that it’s a valid offer and all you have to do is make 3 eligible payments. When I asked him whether this is only for targeted customers or for everyone, he gave a vague reply. (It’s really bad!) If you haven’t received the promotion offer, please just wait. Based on my experience, I believe this is kind of “for everyone” offer.

In the email from Sony Card, you can see the $75.

From my experience it is really hard to get anything from chase unless you have a photographic proof of their offers.
Last time they persistently refused to give me $100 for signing up for Chase Sony. I had to take a snapshot of the screen where I applied for the card and send it to them as a PDF via their secure messaging system. Only after that I got $100.
Hence a conclusion: No proof of the offer good luck getting bonus! The photograph above doesn’t mention anything about $75! Good luck getting the bonus without a proof!

Yes. Sometimes it’s hard to get money from Chase. But I have got all the promotion bonus from Chase. BBB.org is a good weapon to fight with them.
