MBNA Smart Cash

[Larry6417]

MBNA is offering a $50 rebate if you apply for and are approved for a Smart Cash credit card through Great Canadian Rebates. For the first 6 months the card returns 5% on purchases of gas/ groceries up to $600 spending per month. After 6 months the cash back drops to 3%. The card has no annual fee.

Great Canadian Rebates is a portal to which a number of merchants are linked. If you buy through them you receive a cash rebate. I suspect the merchants and site collect data on our spending habits, but I shop with credit cards, so my spending is already tracked. You can receive the rebate as a cheque or as payment to your PayPal account. I have no affiliation to Great Canadian Rebates except as a consumer.

If you plan to apply for the card anyways, why not get $50 for it?

Anyone else have a problem applying for MBNA cards on their site? Their 3rd party site asks you 3 personal questions and after I answer correctly it says I can not be verified (or something like that). Anybody else know if there is a way to apply and still get the rebate?

[FrugalTrader]

Might be best to phone in to apply in that case.

This is one of the best cards that you can still get today.

Do you think they will simply cancel all the credit cards/revise the terms?

I have exact same issue as you do, I have tried 4 times from different computers on diffrent days, always get this issue. I contacted MBNA, they have no clue but suggest me to do the application online with warning of that I would not receive the rebate from GreatCandadianRebate.... .... I am thinking to give up....it is not worth spending such amount of time struggling with this issue....

Does someone have solution?

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for the promotion. I would just apply online and get the card sooner than later, before they change the rules/benefits
