Re: Sony Card Revamp

Holy crap that’s quite a lot of options they’re looking at!

 

Last time I checked though, Capital One was treating Sony the same as PlayStation with no credit limit increases. 

 

Also their points program is messy at best.

Ok, even with a triple pull?  Smiley Very Happy  Last I recall, Sony & PS cards had similar 3-HP criteria like their core CCs.
