This sounded like a great offer, I wanted to get an additional reader for my wife to use on her business trips. What a mess, it did not work, and phone support was worse.

Here is what happened:

Applied for the card, got instant approval.

BUT

Card takes several days to get into the databases required to redeem the offer. My card approval says "Be sure to use your card TODAY and qualify for this special promotion" (their uppercase letters not mine).

Since my card is not in their database, I got the error several times, I cannot redeem the offer today. Phone support was not helpful, they said that it takes several days to get a new card into their database.

I wonder if they can manage a one car funeral?
