If you're in the building stage of your credit life, I wouldn't go for it since it doesn't report, and would probably go for PP extras mastercard or smart connect. If you want a little hidden tradeline it is pretty decent from what I've heard.

Yes I do. Beware that regardless of what anyone (including CSR's) tells you, it IS a hard pull. They give you 6 months no payments I think - BUT - make sure you write it down on your calendar or set an alarm or something because if you forget about it (which is what they hope you do) they charge interest retroactively to the opening of the account. Other than that enjoy buying now and paying later.

It is an unusual account.
No reporting to CB, unless you default. So you can use deferred interest without effecting your utilization.
Lot of deffered interest deals for 6 months or more. Deffered interest means you are charged interest from the date of purchase, if you don't pay it off in time.
You can try to charge over your CL anytime you want (no HP) and they will accept or decline right then. So CL grow incrementally and dynamically.
DW is very happy with it.
