...of Scotland in association with Sony and saw a deal too good to be true. I'll come to the good stuff at the end but first the boring stuff about the credit card:- Interest Rates The APR for the SonyCard is currently at 15.9% for balance transfers and purchases - not very competitive compared with some of the deals around. This is reduced to 2.9% for your balance transfers for the first 5 months after your account is open. For cash advances, the ...

Purchases of any Sony product (including CDs by Sony artists) earn you triple points, but you have to claim these by filling in a form (paper format again) and sending the receipt. they do all that they can to make this hard for you by not telling you where to send it and making it complicated to complete, but on big purchases this can add up. What do you get with Pulsebeats? The lowest total that you need is 2000 and for this you can ...

Review of Sony Card

...These include CD's, DVD's, and Sony electronic equipment. Currently when you apply for a Sonycard, you receive 2000 pulsebeats, which will buy you a CD, for example Beyonce's Dangerously in love is 1600 pulsebeats. It's not the best loyalty scheme, as it is limited, but its nice getting something back for your spending. Most people will find something they like in the catalogue. You can also receive triple pulsebeats on Sony products bought with ...

I have had to phone up a few times, and every time the queues haven't been that long and the staff are always friendly and know what they're doing. Sonycards are also distinctive, with their bluey silver design, and really stand out from many other credit cards. Sonycard have also started online access for those with a Sonycard. However, I have yet to use this, so ...

You receive one PulseBeat per pound spent, so the more money you spend, the quicker you can get free Sony stuff. Also whenever you buy a Sony product you get triple PulseBeats.

The card is run by The ...

Review of Sony Card

The Sony Card is an American Express credit card from MBNA. It is basically a reward card earning you one Sony Pulse Beat for every pound you spend (triple points if you buy Sony products). The trick is to find a link where you are guaranteed points as soon as you sign up. If you go through Sony site you will only receive 4000 points but I got it through a link on moneysavingexpert (see earlier review) with 8200 points but this now seems to have ...
...intend buying a lot of Sony products.) You may be better getting a cash-back credit card where you can earn from 1-3% cash-back and spend it as you like. As there is no fee you could just sign up for the opening offer and redeem your points then hang on to see if there are any further offers available, while still using another card. One thing that I did not like is that they send you credit card cheques whether or not you want them and they phone ...

The rewards program is strictly Sony - no cash back, no vouchers - just Sony goods. So if your not into Sony - this is not the card for you. The application ...

You can request to have a PIN for the cash machines - which I didn't want. They do operate a 24 hour lost and stolen helpline, which I have not had to call. Customer service is reasonable, with a big PLUS being that you don't have to sit behind one of those push button menu things to get your call ...

A different version was availiable at 300 extra pulsebeats. The lady was very helpful over the phone though. Other bonuses, ...

Review of Sony Card

...of this is the new Sony Visa card, which is run by the Bank of Scotland. As a card it’s not the worst on the market but with a promotional rate of 3.9% for the first six months which then hikes up to 17.9% it certainly doesn’t qualify as the best on purely financial grounds. The perk on this card is that it offers “pulsebeats” which can be redeemed against a range of Sony products. You earn 1 pulsebeat for every pound that ...
...A catalogue is provided which shows the products you can redeem the pulsebeats for; and the going rate is 1300 pulsebeats for a cd, 2000 for a dvd and up to 90,000 for a stereo. This may look a bit steep but the perk on joining is that they will give you 1300 free pulsebeats so you can claim a free cd straight away. The other perk is that you are entered into a dream draw to win prizes if you spend any money on the card in that period – but ...

It's widely accepted - like most credit cards. Customer Service is courteous and efficient. Initial rates are excellent (no surprise ...

Well, OK so it means your details are run through the old credit check again - and some of may not like that, but they give you free points for starters - enough to get a CD from their catalogue. So OK the card is nothing special,but if you don't mind the credit check and can spare 5 minutes to fill ...

The card is run in the UK by the Bank of Scotland, who still gave me the card even though I already hold a credit card with them.

The card was almost brand new on the market when I applied for it, and they seem extremely keen to attract as many new card ...

The Sony card looks very impressive when you get, as it has a shimerry surface on it when caught in the light. The card has a good rate of APR to start with, but as with most, it increases to the high levels of cards like Barclaycard within 6 months. The card is run by Bank of Scotland and is fairly new to the market. They offer high limits because they want your transfer balances from your other cards. But be careful as the transfer balance increases ...

You get all your useful benefits, like 54 days interest free credit, telephone customer service and the ability to check your balance online by flling out ...
