Note that the only special part of this deal is the $50 credit. In the past, there have been promotions available for this card that issued a $100 credit, so this is a good deal if you want the SonyCard now, but if you are willing to wait, there’s probably a good chance we’ll see the $100 credit promotion reappear at some time.

If you are not eligible for this particular offer, American Express also currently has a number of similar offers. Most have terms that are not as favorable as doublepoints76, however. They are usually either for shorter periods of time or require a certain amount of monthly spending before you start earning double points. For example, americanexpress.com/doublepoints79 also offers double points from April to September, but only on amounts over $1,000 in monthly spending. americanexpress.com/doublepoints12 instead offers double points from April to June 2006.
