You can get a $100 credit for advertising if you use this application:

The Visa Business Network | Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/visabusiness/sign_up)

I used it and it worked for me!

Enjoy!

My first reaction was that this would be a phishing scam... but there's legit news associated with it - I'm still a bit cautious:

Visa brings small business networking to Facebook - USATODAY.com (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/techinvestor/industry/2008-06-24-visa-facebook_N.htm)

Yeah, my account is accredited and everything. I got an email with the coupon, even though I got the error.

What exactly did I sign up for?

You got yourself $100 worth of advertising.

There was a thread about facebook ads with detailed explanation how to setup your campain :-)

I'm already down to $60 :-)

Can it be used in a few months if I sign up now? I'm still trying to get up and running, and I don't have a website to link to.

It took a few minutes for my credit to show also.

Click on the Billinmg Source tabe and it should be there showing the new totals as it is used up.

Signed up yesterday and got a click today which led to a serious inquiry via my info form.

Thanks for sharing this.
