Sony card

We love Sony stuff, so have been saving up all our pulse beats for a few years. No-one tells you though that pulse beats have an expiry date. We have just had 7,700 pulse beats (a whole year's worth) removed overnight. No-one even had the decency to write to inform us of this - we happened to find out by chance. We eventually found a copy of the terms and conditions that state that pulse beats expire 3 years after the date that they were credited. As they are credited on a monthly basis, that means that they will be removed on a monthly basis. No-one we spoke to at MBNA seems to grasp this very basic concept, even (worryingly) one of their vice-presidents! And we are ...  Read the complete review

I've had one of these cards for a couple of years. I spent on it, saved up my points for the Playstation I wanted. However, when it came to ordering my "gift" I waited and waited only to be told that the item was out of stock!A Sony Playstation - out of stock at Sony! SO I have ordered some other items - of much lesser value. The small items came through within a couple of days, the camera I ordered however is still to come. I have a feeling that this will be "out of stock" too. I get the impression that the only things you will actually receive are the small things like mobile phone chargers or memory cards - all of which are cheap to buy anyway. I am ditching this 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.

The basics are as follows but should be checked on the official site. 0% pa on balance transfers for 12 months (3% handling fee) 0% pa on card purchases for 3 ...  Read the complete review

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 CD, for example Beyonce's Dangerously in love ...  Read the complete review
