I just applied and was accepted, but the promo is now that purchase has to be made from the Sony web site. The verbage before Christmas indicated you could purchase from a retail store or online, now it appears you can no longer do that. I can’t register on the rewards site yet (support said “try tomorrow” – great, thanks), but if the pricing isn’t consistent with retail or with retail promo’s I may just cancel the card. I was hoping to get it from Best Buy to get the best package of price and promo’s.

This blog post is a little misleading. You place a link at the end of the sentence: “If you’re instantly approved, you’ll receive a credit of $100 on your next billing statement when you purchase a PS3 system” which brings you to the playstation.com website. When you go to buy the system from this website it directs you to a list of 9 authorized retailers of sony products. After acquiring my card, but before purchasing the PS3 – I contacted sony rewards who informed me that I would only be able to buy the ps3 from sonyrewards.com, which is not on this list.

Is it true that you can only purchase the ps3 through sonyrewards.com or can you purchase it through one of the 9 sony authorized retailers?

I recently registered for this deal and was instantly approved. When I went to register at the sony rewards website, however, it said that they do not have my account. I called the number they gave me and they told me to wait a day. I called two days later and they told me they couldn’t bring up my account. What gives?

This is also the same question that I needed clarification on. I would much rather get mine at best buy or target as long as it shows up as being purchased as a sony purchase. Do we really have to order it only from sonystyle or sonyrewards?

I was just reading the terms and conditions, and I wanted to verify if you HAD TO purchase the PS3 from SonyRewards.com, SonyStyle.com or Sony Style stores. As long as I purchase a PS3 for over $299 on the Playstation Card (say from Amazon, Dell, etc.), do I still receive the $100 credit?
