    Advantages Advantages Free Sony Gift, Online banking, Monthly Comps

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a competitive rate, some catches to competitions

    'You don't get owt for nowt'is what my grandad used to tell me (it's how we speak up here in Yorkshire!!!!). I used to believe that until I got the Internet and started to find freebies galore. Would you turn down a free CD, DVD, computer game or Walkman? Well I didn't and this is how I got it. About 8 months ago I got a piece of mail advertising the SonyCard, which is a credit card issued by the Bank 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 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Loyalty scheme, special offers, special rates

    Disadvantages Disadvantages APR is higher than some others

    I admit, I got this card for the reason that. From the advertisement I saw online, it came with a free walkman, & I at that time needed one.... However, when the card arrived, I decided to keep it, and have yet to claim anything from the pulsebeats. Pulsebeats are Sonycard's loyalty scheme. You get 1 pulsebeat for every pound spent, and you receive a catalogue where you can send for different sonly products when you have collected enough points. 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 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Free Pulse Beats, exclusive monthly competitions to win amazing prizes, efficient and friendly customer service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages APR could be more competitive

    The best thing with SonyCard is that you can save up PulseBeats (loyalty points) and get some free Sony stuff! Whether you want to save for a free CD or a DVD player, this is the credit card for you! 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. This is great if you buy a lot of TriStar Columbia DVDs, Playstation games, or Sony Music CDs, or even a widescreen Sony TV as you will receive a lot of PulseBeats quickly. There are also exclusive monthly "Dream Draws" ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good opening offer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need to spend a lot to earn points/ Send you credit card cheques

    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 been withdrawn. The basics are as follows but should be checked on the website 0% pa on balance transfers for 12 months (3% handling fee) 0% pa on ... more
