I was found a sweet deal today on the Jets site. Sign up for a New York Jets Extra Points Mastercard and receive a free iPod Nano 1GB with Jets engraving.

Here are the terms of the offer:
* You have to make combinations of purchases and cash transactions totaling at least $100 within 90 days of the date the account is opened.
* Allow 8-12 weeks for delivery after qualifying.
Here’s to quote the page:
To qualify for this offer, your new account must be used to make any combination of purchase or cash advance transactions (including balance transfers) totaling at least $100 within 90 days of the date the account is opened by MBNA (exclusive of transaction fees, if any). Limit one (1) item per new account. Supplies are limited. Allow 8-12 weeks for delivery after qualifying. Offer sponsored by MBNA: we may substitute an item of equal or greater value and we are not responsible for lost, stolen or undelivered merchandise. “
I figure this is a great deal for me because:
- I am a Jets fan(yes I know they suck right now), an iPod nano couldn’t hurt either, especially one with Jets engraving on it.
- I am going to spend $100 in general credit card purchases anyway. Normally I would get 1% cashback totalling $1. The iPod nano is definitely worth it.
- I will still use my Citi Dividend card for gas, supermarket, pharmacy purchases to get 5% cashback in those areas. I’ll just use this card outside of those locations to qualify for the $100 within 90 days.
- My old 3rd generation 20 gb iPod is outdated and malfunctioning. The thing freezes constantly and battery life is short. I could use a new iPod, especially one that is practically free.
I’ll edit later on how the deal goes.
I didn’t get instant approval! I have a feeling a rejection letter will be sent in the mail.
edit: As of August 1st, 2006, this deal is dead. I already recieved my free iPod and congrats to everyone else who also did.
Okay… I did post some negative comments about your blog, but guess what?
I just recieved my jets engraved iPod in the mail!!
So please disregard all anonymous negative comments.
Glad to see you did. Enjoy.
My Jets iPod Nano aalso recently arrived. I was pleasantly surprised, because I’d just passed the $100 mark the week before and fhad assumed there’d be claim forms and that 8-12 week delay. But no. They it just arrived without any promopting. Very nice.
