Mystery Rewards Certificate Best Buy

[Louisville Slugger]

I just received an email from them. $5 to $5000.

Here we go.

[The_Grinch]

Got mine also.

[Bob Schlapowitz]

Got one too.

Also got a "Happy Birthday!" $5 certificate from Best Buy....which is odd, since my birthday isn't until the 23rd.

[diskspinner]

yes, I got a $5 certificate too...

What was the title of the email?

I received a 10% off coupon for October for my birthday and mine is in July

It's pretty safe to assume 99.9% of these certs will be for five bucks. I'll take it, though... now to decide what to use it on. I was pretty set on the Christmas Story remaster until I noticed it's currently in steelbook only. I might just use Express Lane for an Olive title since they tend to be a little pricier for catalog movies.

They give you a full month to use that birthday certificate. They send it on the first of the month and it expires the last day of the month of your birthday.

[Rompclown]

This expires on November the 7th

I got one too, I'll burn it Tuesday when I pick up the Game of Thrones Steelbooks & Inside Out! every little bit counts and I never complain about saving money at the register. thank you BB!

Is there a way to tell the value of the certificate without going to the store to scan?

[fdm]

I know without even looking I didn't get one.

And now that I went ahead and looked, turns out I was right.

I got it too. I'd be stunned if it wound up being more than 5 bucks. If I understand it correctly, whatever value you wind up with, you have to spend at least that amount or more in order to redeem the gift certificate. So if somehow I wound up with a $500 certificate, I'd have to buy 1000+ bucks worth of merchandise at Worst Buy.

Couldn't you just buy $500 worth?

No, you'd have to spend $500.01

We will have to have people post the last four of their Barcode and start comparing, most people will probably have the same which means they got $5.

[Lt. Brannigan]

I received one as well, the sad thing is that the nearest best buy is a 2 hour drive from where I live.

Maybe. I'll ask them when I redeem it tomorrow. There's so much damn fine print on that promotion, I don't know what to make of it. Although it does make it clear it can be used only once, not online, and expires after 11/7. It even says it can be used at the Magnolia section, so if someone does get a $500 certificate, I assume they can use it on a TV or some other home theater equipment.

Got mine too. I'll likely try it out when I go get Inside Out Wednesday or Thursday.
