I love these hot deals. Last time with the Jets MBNA Card offer I got a free iPod Nano with the Jets logo engraved on it.
This time I found another great deal from MBNA for you baseball fans. It’s a little harder to get a nano this time however, I guess they learned their lesson.
Here is the fine print found of this page.
In addition, to qualify for the second reward, a 1GB Apple® iPod nano, respond to this offer and use your new account within 90 days of the date the account is opened by FIA Card Services, N.A., to make any combination of purchase or cash advance transactions (includes balance transfers) totaling at least $2,000. Limit one (1) 1GB Apple iPod nano per new account.
Make $75 in purchases to get your free jersey. Note that you can use the drop down menu to select which team jersey you want. The iPod offered is a regular non-engraved one.
I’m just doing the $75 in purchases to get the free jersey. There’s always someone that instant messages me with “I can buy a jersey for a lot cheaper”. Why would you do that? This jersey is basically free. You’re not wasting $75 to get this jersey. Charge stuff you normally already buy to get up to $75. A couple of gas tank fillups and you’re set for the jersey.
The iPod requires $2000 in purchases or balance transfers. If you’re planning on making any big purchases and want an iPod nano, go for it. I don’t recommend doing a balance transfer as the fee is a one time 3%, which is $60. Depending on the length of a promo 0% apr period. You might just break even if you stick the BT in a high yield savings account. I don’t think it’s worth all the hassle for a cheap iPod. Miss a payment by accident or somehow get universally defaulted and you’ll pay big time.
I recommend you take a screenshot of the page incase you ever need to prove the promotion ever existed if they deny you your gift. Although the Jets iPod didn’t require any hassle on my part and just arrived at my house one day, you never know.
I was not instantly approved and many others I spoke too were not either. I think if you check off yes to the question “I am a current Bank of America customer” then they probably want to review your account manually to decide what kind of credit limit to give you. I wasn’t approved instantly for the MBNA Jets Card but that came within a week or two after filling out the online app. I checked my fico score and it’s pretty good (720) so don’t worry if you’re not instantly approved.
The offer can be found here.
