That's what the offer stated that I received in the mail today. All I have to do is "Just transfer $5000 of qualifying balances to your new Upfront Rewards® Visa and maintain a minimum balance of $3,500 for at least 18 months."

I'm not a math genius but something tells me that this "free computer" would cost me more than I want to pay for it. Thye claim the retail value is $850. If it's free, just send me that sucker at no charge or obligation. This sucker is headed straight to the shredder. Credit card companies are sneaky.

The kicker is that if your balance falls beloew the $3,500 during the first 18 months, they will assess a "one time fee of $600."
