BestBuy 1 cent padding item?
Does anyone know of any 1 cent padding items on bestbuy.com? I want to order a $14.99 blu-ray with $15 in reward zone certificates. I get free shipping as Silver Reward member, so it doesn't matter if the padding item adds shipping. The lowest items I could find on their site were some $1 promo dvds.

Looks like the cheapest thing on the site is 99 cents.
Don't know if this link will work or not, but here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....s&nrp=15&iht=n

You could spend $0.99 and get the first episode of "Lie to Me" on DVD. It is only $1 and may be available via in-store pickup so you won't have shipping costs (that is if you are using in-store for you blu).

I would gladly forfeit the penny--the policy on the RZ certificates is that you must spend at least the total on the certificates--if they let you get by in the store, it's YMMV.

Re: BestBuy 1 cent padding item?
I always thought RZ certs worked like gift cards. Meaning that if I had a $15 RZ cert and I bought something that was $10, I would have $5 left. Isn't that how it works? So if you use the $15 cert, on $14.99, you'd be left with a penny on the cert?
I don't know, whenever I'm in this situation I give in and do what Best Buy and other retailers expect me to do. Buy something else that I want to. So instead of buying a $14.99 DVD and a candy bar, I'd buy 2 DVDs and just pay the rest in cash.

You used to be able to find those promo discs (like the Lie to Me one) for 1 cent--I once bought a 49.99 game and one of those to bump to $50 so I could use a $10 off $50 coupon. I wish they would just make the prices nice even numbers and it would make things easier. Anyway, to get by my problem, I just used $25 in RZ certificates to order 2 14.99 blu-rays. If I decide I don't want the second one, I'll just return it and get $12.50 credited back to my RZ acct. At least they charge tax on the post RZ price--so only 25 cents in tax instead of 1.50, and I got free shipping as a RZ Silver member (I have the credit card--I didn't spend that much just at BestBuy )

There is a 1 cent item now. It is backordered, but that doesn't matter. Even if they cancel it from your order, it will be too late. They'll process the other items...
