Re: $10 Gift Cert. From BB Reward Zone- Merry Christmas.

So, anyone who got one via a phone call to BB on Sunday get it posted yet? The woman I spoke with told me Sunday morning that a $20 rewards zone certificate would be posted to my account in 48 hours, but it is still not there and it seems that others here have had theirs posted seemingly automatically.

I called on Saturday and my points have not posted yet. I did get a case number for mine, so if it doesn't post by tomorrow I may give them a call...

I was told it would take between 3-5 business days, and it hasn't shown up for me either.

That's a good point. So much so that I reconsidered and called Amazon and had them strip the cash award away (which by the way took some coaxing on my part).

It's still not a moral issue to me as all I wanted was to be treated as well as other Amazon customers. But you're right, just having a merchant do something to be nice or to placate customers is a bit like twisting someone's arm behind them. It wasn't nice on my part and I admit that. Moving on.

That's a fair point. But in this day and age how come that update isn't real time or (at the very least) an overnight batch run? As I doubt that BB is run by a bunch of idiots my presumption is that they don't want it to be quick so that people will forget about the reward so either delaying it costing them money or for the reward to expire so it doesn't cost them anything.

Re: $10 Gift Cert. From BB Reward Zone- Merry Christmas.

Figured I'd give it a shot. It was the most painless experience I've had with BB Customer Service ever. Called the Premiere Silver number and told the lady I had a couple of friends that received the $20 bonus and was wondering why I didn't. She told me the promotion was actually for people who hadn't shopped with them in awhile, but she'd be happy to credit the $20 to my account.

Verified my Rewards # and she said the 1000 points would appear in my account in the next 72 hours, NICE!

Well, I just got an email with the $10 certificate. This after calling in on Saturday, and not seeing a thing until today. I'm happy now.

Re: $10 Gift Cert. From BB Reward Zone- Merry Christmas.

As posted previously, I spoke to them on Saturday night and was told it would take 48 business hours. I woke up this morning and found the points credited to my account.

I received a follow up e-mail asking me to take a survey on my phone representative. I normally avoid surveys like that, but it was such an easy and pleasant experience that I took this one.

I e-mailed them Sunday morning and haven't got jack squat. If the points don't show up tomorrow, I'm going to call them.

Whether you believe it or not, it was not my intention to turn this into a moral debate or even change your mind. I just believe that it is a low action to call amazon, but that is my issue. I am not the only one though it seems. Either way, I never meant that as a personal issue. In real life you may be quite a likable and nice person, or you may be an asshole, I don't know :P

I don't know you so I am not judging you, it is up to you to do whatever you think is right. And I also am not sure why it can't go in quicker personally, but as I was told when I gave them a call about it since i never got the points either that the points they are crediting will not have the 25th as the expiration. They should have the same 90 days expiration as the normal points do.

Chill a bit dude. For both of us this is not our first forum posts. It's just an exchange of ideas which I'm totally cool with. Enjoy.

If any of you are giving away free money or merchandise simply for the asking, you can expect me to ask, along with about 500 million other people.

Re: $10 Gift Cert. From BB Reward Zone- Merry Christmas.

Holy smoke!

I just checked my points at the rewardzone web site and I was given 2500!! points with the description of "Customer Satisfaction". All I did was call on Saturday saying I was disappointed that I didn't get the loyalty email after being such a loyal customer. I expected to get $10, but $50 is just unbelievable.

I am loving Best Buy right now. Thank you very much OP!!!

Ghostbusters and tell them that you have a problem. Call 1-800-237-8289 and tell them that you didn't get the certificate that some of your friends (us) received. Just be polite and you should (operative word) get it.

Oh crap, so is everyone going to call BB back now and say their friend got 2500 points, so they should too?

Congrats to you, but I hope this doesn't start something...
