Best Buy Reward zone question - Blu-ray Forum

ay221 · 07-13-2009, 04:08 PM

I bought an lcd tv at best buy, and you can select reward zone credits as $5, $10, or $20. Can one cash in multiple certificates at one time? Or is there an advantage to selecting the $20 one.

u can spend as many as u want at once. no real advantage choosing $20 except having less certificates to carry around but it will take longer to get enough points for 1 $20 certificate vs. 1 $5 certificate.

benny speaks wise words. you can use as many Reward Zone certificates as you want all at once or separately, so long as none of them have expired. There is no advantage to using 1 big certificate over multiple smaller ones

Yup.. that's why I like to shop at BB over amazon... of course when the price is right.

Best Buy is once again changing the rules on Reward Zone, now all points must be used in the year they are earned, and unused points will be forfeited. Every year it seems they change the conditions to make it harder to redeem. I've pretty much stopped going to Best Buy due to poor service and high prices. In the rare event Best Buy has a good price Amazon usually matches it.

b4 we got the silver rewards card where you can bank points we always did $20 ones but yes you can use as many as you have.

You do realize that you have to spend 250 bucks just to get 5 dollars back right? So even if the movies are priced the same between the two places (which they almost never are because Best Buy is very expensive) you would lose more then the 5 bucks paying tax.

Amazon has a shipping facility in my state, so I'm paying tax either way. If the prices are the same I'd rather hit BB on the way home, get my silver RZ points, and have the item right then.

True, but I like to save them up to make it worth it. Not too worried about that.

That is a big IF. You and everyone else can shop where they please. I just dont spend much of my money there because they are so expensive. I wish they were cheaper because I do like shopping in store but......

this thing pays off when u have big purchases to make...it doesn't cost u anything to have, it's free money for giving them u're business.

when i bought my hdtv and blu-ray player, i had enough points to buy 2 blu's.

i plan on using it again when i get a new stove in a couple months and will use those to buy more blu's, ie: transformers 2 and wolverine!!!
