Cons: Points expire after 5yrs.
Citibank Sony Card Quick and Dirty:

Annual Fee: None

Bonus: 1% of all...

Sony and Others...

by Almighty Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 18 '00
Pros: Credit Cards = 30 Day Free Loan!
Cons: Interest. Always pay them off!
If you're one who pays your credit card bill off every month, I applaud your financial savy, read on. If you don't pay off your entire balance every month, you're throwing money away and shouldn't bother reading the rest of this opinion.

Almost enough points to the plasma TV

by BigGenius , Jan 20 '00
Pros: reward system, citibank help
Cons: high interest if you don't pay
I have to say that of all the credit cards that I have managed to accumulate, the Sony card has been the best. I'm looking forward to the day that I can call up the Rewards Program and order my HDTV with Surround Sound for free. Then, I'll stop writing...

Not too bad...

by jujube819 , Mar 09 '01
Pros: No annual fee, get rewards
Cons: limited to sony products
I first applied for the sony card because I thought it was a cool idea to be able to get sony products as a reward. But I later realized it takes quite long to get something. They reward you with 1 point per $1 spent and 3 points per $1 on any sony...

Too Many points needed.

by yungar , Jan 19 '00
Pros: You can use the points for something useful
Cons: very picky about how to get the points
The Sony card (as well as may others) that offer all these rewards are usually doing it at your expense.
We need the credit cards in this society as almost all transactions are done through them, but technically this is all a scam. I mean for any...

Pretty much the only credit card I use

by anoop , Jan 01 '01
Pros: Excellent customer service, no annual fee
Cons: Rebate applies only to Sony merchandise
I've owned several credit cards in the past. Some have offered rebates, some had high credit limits, and some just looked cool. I never worried about things like customer service at that time. But those were my days in graduate school. At some point...

Great Reward for Movie Tickets

by ottolam , May 24 '00
Pros: Great for Movie Tickets, Good Customer Service
Cons: None
I had my CitiBank Visa card for over 8 years, and CitiBank offered me to transfer my CitiBank Visa card to the Sony Platinum Card last year. Of course, I transferred my card right away because there was no reward program for CitiBank Visa card.

Sony Has A Good Little Program Here

by rneuma1 , Sep 18 '00
Pros: Good program high limit
Cons: high percentage very low points from dollar ratio
This card has some really nice features to it. First there is no annual fee for use of this card. IF you pay off the bills every month you will not accrue end of the year charges. Also this card has a very quick limit raise program. IF you pay your...

Nice little piece of plastic

by witchyangel , Mar 15 '01
Pros: no annual fee, was approved quickly, low balance transfer rate, can pay online
Cons: alot of points needed to redeem for prizes.
A few months ago I recieved a Sony catalog in the mail and in the catalog was an application for the CitiBank Sony Platinum Mastercard. Sounded easy enough to rack up points with the card and a I had enough income to apply so I gave it a try.

Finally, an affinity card worth using.

by tedpostula , Jul 15 '01
Pros: No annual fee, good online management.
Cons: None that I know of.
As I was getting ready to leave for college, I decided that I better get a credit card. I wanted one with no annual fee and some sort of bonus. I would've gone right for the Discover or AmEx with their cash back programs, but they both had a yearly fee....

Phony Platinum (Shadybank)

by craibs00 , Nov 23 '02
Pros: Accumulating points for Sony products and on-line account access
Cons: extremely unprofessional customer service.
Having put off applying for a credit card, the low introductory rate and Sony points program sold me.
Making payments by phone and on-line access was convenient. I never was able too redeem points however. The value of the points equal two one or...

Pros: same as all the other pros
Cons: rewards catalogs has horrible selection
I as all the other reviewers was very enthusiastic at first about the sony card. I even got other people to sign up. But after spending about $4k/mo. and finally earning enough points for that home theater set up that i've been waiting for, the pulled it...
