Beware of "18 month no interest promotion"
Product is great; the best picture I've seen.
This post is to make customers aware of an issue with the "18 month no interest promotion" for this item.
PROBLEM:
1. Banner says buy this item with the Amazon store card and receive no interst for 18 months.
2. Cost of the TV is $2299.
3. Fine print states that the offer will "be terminated if...you exceed your credit limit".
4. Credit limit on the card when you apply is $2000
RESULT: 18 month offer is terminated the minute you place your order for the TV because the purchase price exceeds the credit limit.
I called the toll free number and both the rep and his supervisor confirmed that this was the case. To make matters worse, their policy is that you cannot request a credit limit increase in the first 6 months.
