They posted the credit to my account within a couple weeks of hitting the $500 in total purchases on my new card.

Oh nice.  I just checked my email and I have the offer.

The closing of TRU still hurts, it's difficult for me to think about TRU without some emotional attachment given that I grew up on TRU like many folks.  One very interesting thing - I was in Asia recently, and TRU continues to THRIVE over there.  Here is a picture of a TRU in Hong Kong.  It was very crowded, and difficult to move around.  Items were flying off the shelves, and the LEGO section was stocked with all the latest stuff.  It was awesome. 

Somehow and some way, I still hold out hope that TRU may return some day.  We will see.

This is difference between being owned by a privately held company versus being publicly owned and laden with debt?

Oh, you guys still have it too, right? Now, when I’ll think about Australia, I’ll think of kangaroos, koala bears and TRU....

No mate. Ours is about to drop off the perch too.

Oh, that's news to me!  I activated mine and used mine a bunch last month for the family vacation.  I'll have to see if I get that deal.

Got an email that I earned the 100$

I also got that email, and then it showed up on this past month's statement, too.

received the email too, finished purchasing requirement in the mid of August tho. Took them a bit longer to sum of all the digits... ?

I guess  they figured out what most Ebay sellers already know; that there is only one winner at auctions - except for art, classic cars and UCS Falcon VIP cards.

also received the email, but had a bit better offer, getting $20 for using the card 5 times. Time to dust off the card.

I got 10 times as well. I pretty much made this my primary card, thanks to the 2% though, so I guess that's why. I really don't need to be encouraged further to use it..

there are better cards to be used as primary card tho. earning mileage pts rather than direct cash back can maximize your pts value, if you are into that kinda thing.
