I called the customer service number and talked to an agent. I asked if they could change the terms of the my sign up to include the SC. The agent told me to call back after my first purchase and ask for the statement credit at that time. If I call are they going to give me the credit, or is this advice no good?
I got the card and made some purchases. Called the customer service line and asked for the statement credit. Put me on hold for a while then came back and said they'd credit my account. Easy $100.
