    Does anyone know when the Sony Financing will once again offer 0% for 24 months on notebooks? I purchased a Vaio SR back in august on 0% for 24 months. Such a sweet deal. The current offering is 12 months at 0%. I want a Z but I'm tempted to wait till the 31st when the current financing offers expire. Does anyone know?

    That 24 month no interest promotion is good from 4/1/2010 until 5/31/2010 if you use your Sony Financial Services card and spending $399.99 or more. I just got the email. Happy shopping!

    It's not advertised on the Sony Style website because it is not yet April 1st. I received the email last night and if you don't have a Sony Financial Services card, then you probably didn't get that email. And note it says nothing about any specific product purchase.



    No Interest If Paid In Full Within 24 Months*
    Go to Sonystyle.com or authorized dealer near you or call (877) 865-7669 for details.

    I have not seen any recent 36 month no interest promo for " any purchase. " It was for TV's and home theater gear. The last good promo is the one I'm currently using and that is the 12 months no payment, no interest plan for VAIO notebooks that was in Nov. and Dec. 2009.

    Add a notebook to your cart and see if it tells you 24 Months No Interest. I have just done this and it shows up. Remember, this is for a Sony Financial Services card through GE Money. I have the option to pay with this card and it offered 24 Months No Interest.

    Post 4 is what the email I was sent outlines about the promotion.

    @Marukai

    I do see what you are saying. If you add a new notebook to the cart, it does indeed say 12 Months No Interest. If you add a notebook from the clearance section to your cart, it says 24 Months No Interest. But, that conflicts with the email I received from Sony Financial Services back on March 26, 2010 detailing the " Spring into Savings - Sale Going On " promotion. There is no mention about any specific type of product.

    " Go to Sonystyle.com or authorized dealer near you or call (877) 865-7669 for details.
    On Purchases over $399 with your Sony Financial Services card between 4/1/2010 through 5/31/2010. Interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date if the promotional balance, including optional charges, is not paid in full within 24 months or if you make a late payment. Minimum Monthly Payments Required.*
    "

    The above is what it states. I don't know what else to say about it but this is what the email indicates to me. But with that, it would be pretty lame if new notebooks did not qualify for this promotion.

    Well I just called Sony and the sales person said the the 24 months is on TV and A/V products. I guess I'll be waiting until June 1st when the new promos come out :cry:
