Yes, if you have the sony card and you win the daily giveaway you can opt for anything in your wishlest up to 1,000 dollars. I have played the daily giveaway for years, and I'm still waiting for lightning to strike.

Yup, and if you dont win, you get your 500 points back.

So what qualifies as "Daily purchases" or whatever to get points? I bought some groceries but for some reason I dont' believe that counts...has to be just stuff from Best buy, amazon, other "sony" authorized retailers? I'm not talking abotu the 3 point or 5 point but the one pointers.

I believe you have to wait awhile before you see your non-Sony purchases converted into points ($1 = 1 pt). It should come within a month. Just be patient.

after getting the 9 multiplier I've gotten the 2x two days in a row :(

oh well, I'll win something eventually, right? .... right???!?

I think someone on CAG has won the daily giveaway a while back. It was on that other thread before this one was started.

Everything counts . . . my points get posted monthly when my bill comes out. Softens the blow slightly (very slightly).

Sorry if this question has been asked but I went through about 30% of the posts and got tired of reading them all. I just signed up for the card and was wondering how long it will take till I am able to use more than 500 of my reward points?

And I am actually planning to use the card. Kind of figure I use my debit card all the time anyways so might as well use the credit card, pay it off everytime since I have the funds, and get rewards! Might be in on the PS3 deal.

If you have the card, then you have no limit as to the number of points you can use. If you had a sonyrewards account before signing up the card, just make sure your card is attached to your account.

Haha, thanks. I was trying to figure that out and just saw the link that attaches the card to my account. Now I just have to wait for it in the mail and my day will be great =). Do I get more points when I attach my card to my account?

Edit: By the way, when you invite "friends" and have them register, you get 50 extra points for each accepted invitation. I got 200 more points now.

Don't forget to update your wish list, it's a new month = 25points for updating.

I just ordered the cards (thx so much for this thread) but was just curious, what are the current free blu-ray movie choices they are giving away right now? I am scared to buy any new ones until I see their list since don't want to double dip. Thx.

I've been thinking about getting a credit card in the next few months, really considering trying to get one of these sony cards

Thanks for all the info OP!

Hey guys I am looking to get my first Credit Card (build credit/get points,etc) - is this card good? Any difference between the Sony/Playstation Card? I really don't want to whip out a card that says Playstation on it every time I buy something lol. I looked around and saw there is no yearly fees - are there any fees for anything else I should be aware of? Anywho yea I'm not really sure what I should go for. And I know its my first card but I know not to pay late,etc so I don't get owned with interest.

No fees of any kind, really this is probably one of the better cards you can get.

You can redeem your points at ANY authorized sony retailer if you buy sony stuff with your sony card. FILL OUT THIS FORM> https://www.sonyrewards.com/en/your_...e_credit_form/

Ok, I just bought a blue tooth ps3 headset. Is this the form I fill out to have the $ spent be counted as triple points? The sony website is a little vague on this. The form calls for the price, upc, and item #. What is the item # exactly?

Just look around on the packaging or the headset, every Sony product has an item or model number. Looks like it might be 98095 or PS398095? Keep in mind that it will take them a few months to apply the extra points/credit to your account.

Quick question, I bought a buddy of mine Killzone 2 with my Sony card for his birthday. I already sent in the purchase credit form with my receipt but I found out he returned the game to BestBuy with the gift receipt (his wife already gave him the game). Am I still going to get the bonus points and cash credit for the purchase?

I'm a little late to this thread, but I've had my Sony card since last summer when they offered the $100 PS3 credit.

A few things to mention...

YES, you can substitute any item up to $1000 from your wish list if you win the daily giveaway. Not sure why the poster earlier in this thread wasted it on a PS3. My wishlist is loaded with tons of items that come in just under $1000. I'm ready, just haven't won yet :(

The rate is AMAZING. I called all my cards recently to inquire about the rate and lowering it. Not only was this cheaper than Amex, Citi and Discover, but they GAVE me 1000 free points because they couldn't lower it. I didn't even ask for the points. So, if you have good credit, call and ask for a lower rate, and act kind of bummed when they don't give it to you. The rep's have the point power!

Planning a big purchase, might want to hold out for a promo... I knew in advance that I was going to get a new Vaio when I got this card, and later in the summer they offered a DOUBLE bonus point program. So, basically I was able to get 10X points on items purchased from Sony. So, my $2,000 laptop got me 20,000 points... Not a bad way to start! (FYI, I did have to fight for the extra points, as Chase and Sony kept pointing fingers at each other, this was a CHASE promotion. Whatever, just be diligent about what points you are owed!)

My ONLY complaint thus far has been what happened in December. I have been sending in my triple point requests religously for my Sony purchases (have we confirmed that ALL PS3 titles qualify??? I wasn't doing this). I have ALWAYS requested triple points and not "Purchase Credit". Then, imagine my shock when my points dropped to ZERO as they claim I asked for purchase credit. So, I called them, and they said they have no control and it already went through, sorry. So I got my credit, but was trying to save up points :(

Last but not least, PAY attention to the Monthly Reverse Auction! I picked up a lot of stuff from this, way cheap...

how do you link your sony style and sony rewards accounts?

because those 2 are two different websites and I want to combine my points.
