They offered me a "no annual fee" VISA card. The catch appears to be that it comes with an immediate $500 cash advance. This is, I would assume, subject to their interest charges. Interesting gimmick. I'm tempted to get the card, pay back the $500 immediately (paying ~$10 for 1 month's interest) and then having a free card.
