Credit Sources Review

This could be a good card if you like to buy a lot of DVDs or CDs - you can get some for free. You might want to have a look through the card information first, though, to see what's available with your points.

You should also be aware that if you are saving Pulsebeats for a more expensive reward such as a Playstation, it may take quite a while to save up unless you use your card for a lot of purchases each month.

The interest rate and other features are fairly competitive with other similar cards so if you buy a lot from Sony and like the Sony rewards, it could be a good card to look at.
