Quantum card?
 

Anyone have any information about the MBNA Quantum card they've been advertising in full-page ads in USA Today? It says by invitation only.

Thanks. Any new news?

I got one last week. My life has not changed.

Actually, they said they would mail details. Nothing yet.

I only got it because I like the no-fee for cash advance -- I use cards like this with ATM's overseas.

Please post the details when you know them!

Here are the bullet points:

Emergency cash means they will wire money to a Western Union (are they still around?!) office.

There are a lot of web services for account management, shopping, travel (I haven't seen anything too unique).

Well, the "exclusive offers and upgrades" might be good, but nothing else seems too exciting.

Here are this month's exclusive "offers and upgrades":

Seabourn cruise, one category cabin upgrade.
Caribbean Palms cruise, ditto.
Cunard criuse, ditto.

Fours Seasons Maui package w/ air, free spa treatment.

Four Seasons Resort-Hualalai, Hawaii w/air from L.A., free spa treatment.

same basic deal with other Four Seasons resorts in Puerto Vallarta, North San Diego and Scottsdale.
