Best Buy Rewards Zone question - not renewing with still pending purchases

Jeraden · 07-23-04, 07:50 AM

My Best Buy rewards zone is going to expire soon. I still have some pending purchases that for whatever reason still haven't cleared. I'm probably not going to renew it because I just don't spend enough to make it worthwhile. Anyone know what will happen to those pending purchases if I don't renew? Will I still get credit for them and get a certificate, or will I forfeit them since I'll no longer be a member when they finally get around to processing them?

Thats kind of scammy then. Its been almost month and I still have 2 purchases pending.

06/29/2004 NO. FAYETTE PA RZ Base Points Pending
06/25/2004 NO. FAYETTE PA RZ Base Points Pending

I guess I'll call on the 30th or something if they are still pending and ask them about it.

Thats why if you are planning to "cash in" and get certificates and aren't planning to renew any membership, you need to backtrack from the last day of your membership to see if it is likely you will actually get it.

I'm not sure how much your reward is, but if its about the same as the cost of a renewal since it would basically pay for itself right away.
