I just opened an account, ordered a card and ordered some CDs. The whole process went fairly smoothly. However, there are some things that they can do to make the process more intuitive. I didn't like the fact that they made me select whether I wanted to use the card for a particular CD purchase. Of course I do. If you hold a card, the card prices should appear automatically when you check out. I'll send my comments to TSIG.

Any way you look at it, this business model sucks.
