Credit card companies love to offer incentives for you to sign up for the offers. But be aware: these types of offers generally have higher interest rates, and often include annual fees.

If you don’t plan on using this type of card often, or you know you can pay off purchases quickly… the REWARDS could outweigh the higher rates and fees. But if you carry a balance too long, the extra bonus you earn might not be worth it. You would be better off with a low rate credit card (without the extra rewards) if you aren’t able to pay off the purchases quickly. But if you don’t plan on carrying a balance very long… go for the rewards!

Cool, don’t spend the $100 all in one place.

I still haven’t heard a peep, maybe it’ll be in my mailbox…

I haven’t received the card yet, the site does say some people would get an instant decision… I however wasn’t one of them. I just bought a house so I know I have very good credit. I’ll let you all know when the card actually arrives.

How long did it take for you to get the Schwab card? I applied and was told they’d send me a letter. The website, however, said it would be an instant decision. I have excellent credit.

Looks like scheduled downtime, it’ll be back, I don’t know any credit cards turning away customers.

darn, you shoulda jump in on the $150 when it was available. It was supper popular. Unfortunately I applied for enough during that time, (was waiting for some 0% BT offers), so I couldnt’ cash in on it. Eh, I have enough accounts open as it is.
