| The interest rates on credit cards in Australia are insane, that is where they get you. |

| Interesting idea. I can't say that I'd partake in it, but I dig the idea of reward people for achieving difficult tasks. |

I guess Sweden is out of the question when it comes to offers like this, but still...
I'm kinda reluctant to tie my credit-card to anything these days anyway, with all the hackings and so on :(
Anyways, great game, can't wait to pick up my console-bundle on Tuesday! |

| UK Exclusive? I imagine that people with credit cards are leery to put their info out there like that,I for one am one of those people. It seems like rewards on the card end tho. |

@#9 my guess would be this would influence a lot of people to sign up for a credit card and end up in debt
Credit Cards are killers because of the interest,thankfully most places,services or even MMOs now let you use a Debit Card(your cashcard) |

| @10 Credit cards are great if you pay back what you spend.The extra protection/insurance you get through using these to purchase things is ofetrn invaluable.But i can't see many people signing up for something as serious as a credit card to get minor bonuses on a video game , unless they were thinking of getting oneanyway.Of course there are always the idiots out there who would do exactly that and then promptly run up massive debts and then sell there story to the papers saying"Halo made me homeless" |

| I don't see why you wouldn't do this if you already use AMEX. In the US you get $10 credit jyst to sync your account, $25 credit if you complete a Spartan Op, and a $50 credit for finishing campaign then spending $100 at Best Buy. |

| Pity it's AMEX, after years of working in sales I think I have only every seem about two people who actually use them. Lots of shops or online stores don't even accept AMEX so it's not really worth getting one |

I keep my profile on a USB flash drive, so I can take it with me whenever I plan on heading to a friend's to play games, or go to some Xbox event where I can download stuff. What am I getting at???
I don't use a credit card for ANYTHING... and I'm sure as hell not going to use American Express - I "WILL" leave home without it!
At least achievements in Halo 4 aren't conditional on using that card!!

| The thing about this that annoys me is I can't get a credit card becase I don't have a credit score, because well I don't have a credit card and don't need to take out a loan. |

@26
what a lot of people do is get a store credit card and just buy things and paid it off so they can build their credit score. If theres a costco by you, u can get a american express costco card and you pay for the yearly membership but you can use that Amex card whereever you want. |

| It's an interesting idea... Axe body spray, Pizza Hut, Doritos, Mountain Dew... and American Express?? Just doesn't seem to fit the demographic they are aiming for with the other tie-ins. Were it a Visa or Mastercard, I'd think they would do a lot better. But I'm definitely not switching one of my cards for an avatar prop! |

| No thank you. Would rather stick with purchasing additional game content through the use of Microsoft Points than sign up for yet another credit card with variable interest rates. |
