Another awesome show, you two remain totally entertaining and fun to listen to.
One thing I really enjoy is your class diversity. Between just the two of you, you play a warrior, hunter, priest and druid, so there's lots of different class talk, which I enjoy (as an altaholic myself). i would love nerdy pally talk, but that's just me being greedy.
Anyway, again, wonderful show, you guys are instant listens as soon as the show downloads.

Hello! Aiggan from Arygos here (Dwarf lvl 70 warrior) ...
On the WoW Visa. The Terms & Conditions seem the same as many of the other credit cards out there. "Qualifying Purchases" generally means, any purchase aside from cash back and it subtracts credits so if you buy something and then return it "does not apply".
That being said, the WoW card is basically a "cash back" card with the restriction that you can only spend your points at Blizzard for WoW game time. You get 1% back. So if you are paying month to month ($15/month) and you spent $1500 per month you would get enough points to get WoW for free.
Not too bad as that would be the same as a "cash back" card like Discover with the issue that if you stopped playing WoW your points would be useless. For someone like me that spends all my cash flow via credit card for points it was nice to see that there was NO limit to the amount of points you could accrue. However it seems like you can only tie the points to one account so if I had more than 1500 points per month they would be wasted. Thus is you consistently spent $1500 or more on your credit cards you would want to switch to another card to max out your points benefits.
I was however surprised to see nice low rates for this card. A lot of times these corporate sponsorships have really high rates that many people don't notice until they carry over a balance or have a late payment. The nice designs are also a plus.
The eaxct terms are here:
