Advantages: Looks cool, perfect for sony addicts. Disadvantages: dubious customer service actions
Having had a sonycard for over 2 years and used it frequently i was seriously disappointed to find that after i accidentally forgot to pay a sum of £9.20, sonycard referred me to a credit agency. This i found unbelievable, the fact that i had spent over £14,000 with them over the previous two years and was a very good customer made no difference. Most respectable credit card companies are reasonable about such matters and will take small balances ... ...attempt was made to contact me by phone and the first i knew of the matter was when i had a credit check and failed, which was rather embarassing.
