NEW Sony Financing Card backed by GE?

BearsAndTurtlesRtheBest — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:06:58 GMT

Has this card always existed? Curious because I received an e-mail from best buy about Sony's new TV which by the way looks AMAZING looking at all the features it has. Anyway so I then went to SONY.com and clicked their rewards program which is free and requires no HP or credit check of any kind since its like having a Albertsons Savings card, But then I noticed the Sony Financing card, and its backed by GE. Anyone have this card? Or was it just launched by GE that I never noticed it? Just thought I'd bring it up, lately Ive been obsessed in checking up on their new gadgets and items.

I have the SonyCard backed by GE. I opened it last month when I fell for the 0% for 36 mo offer. They pulled Exp and I def plan to pay it off away before the 36 mo cause the reg APR is 29%! 😳😁

Btw I did not want the Cap 1 Visa cause I thought I'd continue to use it since it was a Visa

Yeah, it looks like a new product. They have another product, the Sony Card Visa, which has been around for a long time. Its backed my Capital One, however.

Holy crap! A TV with a starting price of $25,000?! I didn't even know such TVs existed! New car territory!

The 4 K is nice but not that nice! I was like, you gotta be kidding!?!

Re: NEW Sony Financing Card backed by GE?

I would go for the $4,999. And even that is still pricey for a TV that can collapse and break with the unexpected HUGE earthquake to hit us in California anytime soon. NAH ill pass for now.

I'd max out most of my credit cards just to purchase that!

The TV does catch your attention to the max. At least for me it did that its distracting me from finishing my HW. Maybe I would buy hmmmmmm "MOM, DAD!!!!! WE HAVE TO GET THIS!"

@BearsAndTurtlesRtheBest

Not if you have the "Purchase Protection" from Discover and AMEX for being a cardmember

Do you think people that can afford $25k TV's even bother applying for this card and if they do is a recon required?! $25k for 1 TV seems like a hefty new financing card especially if someone wants to put TV's in a new home?!

I mean I guess, I had a friend many many years ago that worked at higher end chain furniture store and their store card actually was backed by GE and he said they would have couples do 2 APPS as single to be able to get enough CL if they were looking to fill a house with say $30k worth of furniture because they had better chance then 1 $30k line.... that would irritate me I think as a buyer especially with 2 $15k payments on furniture... but if that's what you want to buy and that's what you need.... ummm still trying to think of the store.... not Haverty's but.... ugh I think of it after I go to bed!

@jakemod1

Which is why that TV is NOT mounted to my stand! 😂

@Lexie: what CL were you provided with?

don't think it's worth buying this at the moment, only because there's very little content in 4K right now.

Japan might start broadcasting World Cup 2014 in 4K, but none of the US broadcasters + streaming services (i.e. netflix) have any definite plans for 4K yet.

Nice TV nevertheless though, but prices should drop pretty fast sometime next year. OLED TVs are also worth checking out if you're into TVs.

But of course if you got extra money sitting around with nothing to spend on, this is a nice purchase nevertheless.

@enharu

I got a reg HD Smart TV- 55". That 4K sticker price made my heart hurt.

$4k thats an awesome initial CL to start with.
