It appears that it is possible to purchase gift cards to make the $299 minimum, but again they will have to be for Sony. Also FYI the card is offered via/through Chase.

Well I would rate this a green being that you can buy $300 worth of giftcards, sell them on $Bay for AT LEAST $250 and still get the $100 cash bonus making it just as good as the Sony card, better if you get more for the GC on $Bay

i have ps3 in my mind

I remember the old Sony $100 bonuses pretty reliable, are these now a hassle to get?

isnt it possible to exchange the gift cards for cash, by law? or am i mistaken?Laws vary by state and the value of the gift cards. For example, California has a law that gift cards with values < $10 may be exchanged for cash, so you would need to purchase 30 $10 gift cards. Some other states do not have similar laws at all, so Sony would be under no legal obligation to provide cash for the giftcard. And if they simply refunded the purchase, you would lose the credit.

Yes, you can open multiple Sony accounts (if you qualify) and get the bonus on each account without even having to close any of your old Sony accounts. I have about three Sony cards and I have gotten the bonus on each of them (in the past).

I too am asking about the multiple bonuses, I currently have a chase Sony account and we closed my wife's account 2 months ago. I was hoping to get a PS3 in time for the socom public beta but the terms read "new Sony cardholders". anyone have anymore info on this confirming or denying then i will decide whether to try or not. thanks.

i have mutliple cards with them and never had any problem getting these bonuses..

Do you have to use the card at a SonyStyle store? I seem to recall previous deals where you could use the card at any retailer to get the CashBack. Only reason I am asking is because I have a $100 gift card at a retailer that I would love to put towards a PS3, and getting this $150 back would be even better.
