Good afternoon,
 
We will not be receiving information about a 2016 Statement Credit until September. If you would like to check back by the middle of the month we should have some information to provide you with.
 
Thank you.

We are now in October and still no news on SBS. I guess this year it is true that there will be no statement credits. At least last year we got 10 off 10 on one or two personal cards and 20 off 100 on business cards. I think if there was any chance word would be out by now.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
