Well, that latest bit of news is not very reassuring...

I guess those of us who applied for the card will just have to wait and see what happens. The worst case is that I will have a(nother) free credit card that I don't use. At least the earlier concerns about phishing seem to be baseless.

In any event, if this offer was really only supposed to be sent to a "select group" of people, then Sony will have a problem on their hands with anybody else who gets approved for the card. There is nothing in that splash page that puts any other limitation on getting the Reader other than being approved for the card -- and that is up to Chase. I want to hear Sony explain why the offer doesn't apply to me, assuming I get the card.

At the very least, this should prove interesting!
