Get $100 for opening a Charles Schwab Visa

MBNA’s Charles Schwab Visa is offering a great perk right now - open an account, and make 1 purchase within the first 45 days, and get a $100 statement credit. In the past, this card has offered a free iPod shuffle ( I got in during that promotion. ) It seems MBNA is really pushing this card - they can’t stop giving away free stuff. The card is a decent one, if you carry a balance. The APR is pretty low these days. Besides that, it isn’t really a card I’d be able to recommend, as the rewards program is pretty weak. It uses MBNA Word Points rewards. I prefer cash back of some kind, so I’m not limited to what my “points” can buy me. In any case, $100 is $100. Free money is the best kind after all.
