I've got $100 credit toward the price I paid for my Sony reader.

pinenut · 12-27-2006, 12:04 PM

Someone mentioned here on this forum that one could get $100 credit if he signed up for the SonyCard account when purchasing a reader from Sony Store. I tired it since there was nothing to lose.

I ordered a reader and signed up for a SonyCard on November 15. The reader was delivered to me on Nov. 30 and I got $100 credit on December 14.

I was a bit skeptical about it but I ended up buying a reader for $ 271.86 (including tax). That is not a bad deal.

Congratulations. This is the first $100 credit received I've seen here. Anyone else?

Do you mean that $349 + tax - $100 = $271.86?

Were you able to take that $100 and convert it to cash, or was it just a credit on the card? If so then it isn't quite the same as buying a reader for $279, but I guess it's really darn close if you used that card to buy stuff you absolutely would have (like groceries).

Congrads! I think I'll do the same today or tomorrow before the offer expires.

I have not received my credit yet. I hope we didn't have to buy something directly from sony to get that credit.... if that was the case then I wouldn't be getting one and I will now be upset because I didn't read the info as that way... I already purchased something with that card at over $400 and paid it off already, so I am ?????? what is going to happen....

Aprilbeginnings · 12-29-2006, 01:35 PM

I am reading that terms and condions because I printed it out..... this is what it states first paragraph

*Offer subject to credit approval. Card credit will be applied to your Sony Card account 8-12 weeks after your first purchase.*

Okay so my first purchase was 11/20.... so I have to wait 8-12 weeks from that date. So I guess anywhere after January 15th I should see it HOPEFULLY

It is real money. I bought a pair of golf shoes with it.

BTW, it took only 4 weeks to get the credit on my account.

In fact, I got $100 before I paid the bill of $371.86 ending up paying only $271.86. It took only 4 weeks to get the credit on my account instead of 8-12 weeks they state.

Aprilbeginnings · 12-30-2006, 09:35 AM

Seems that way for me too...... didn't have to wait as long as they were saying.

NormB · 12-30-2006, 02:50 PM

The only downer was they have none in stock. I wonder if I will get the $50 in free books since the order will be processed when they have new ones in stock after Dec 31. That would be $200 credit if I do.

NatCh · 12-30-2006, 07:31 PM

Unfortunately, the trigger for the $50 credit is the registration of the Reader to an account, not the purchase.

Azayzel · 01-20-2007, 12:34 PM

I actually applied for the SonyStyle card and was only offered the $100 credit initially, unfortunately since I didn't have an approved zip code, Sony wouldn't ship me the reader (even after I applied and was approved for the CC!). After a day or two of trying to convince them to ship me the eReader, without success, I went back to the main Sony site, not SonyStyle, and saw the $150 offer. I applied for this offer, the Sony Card, using my US address and had the eReader shipped.

Bottom Line: I received the Reader for $360.14+free shipping-$150=$210.14, the $50 Connect Store credit is still pending (hope it works out for me

) so the grand total will drop to $160.14! Oh yeah, my account for the CC was already credited and I have paid the remainder off. Hopefully others can still get the $150 deal, just remember to apply for the SonyCard, not the SonyStyle CC; e.g., $150 vs. $100 credit.

NormB · 01-20-2007, 01:06 PM

Azayzel - I went the same route you did with the same savings. Last week SonyStyle sent me an email saying I still qualified for the $50 Credit. I called Sony connect to tell them this and after a couple of emails they sent me Gift Certificate number for the $50. If you do not have it yet you may want to followup in this manner. NormB

Aprilbeginnings · 01-21-2007, 12:49 PM

Hey you think those of us that signed up for their card and only were offered the $100 should email/call and complain and ask for the extra $50 <BEG> I feel cheated, LOL
