There's a new Best Buy Mystery rewards e-mail. I got it today. It's between $5 and 500 bucks. I'm assuming the vast majority will be $5.

No luck this time. Even caused me to dig through my deleted/junk e-mails. Lots from Best Buy, but nothing resembling a mystery reward.

Same here. I did get one last year, but that's the only time. My wife did get a $5 cert this year, though, feeding my suspicion that the more you order from Best Buy, the less likely you are to get a mystery cert.

I did get one ($5). I've ordered a couple small things this year for store pickup, but not much.

Supposedly, if the first bar code on the cert is "4 00063 68512 9" then it's for $5. That does match mine.

Fellow bovine, thanks for the head's up. Same upc here. Are they discriminating against the bovine race?

My wife and I both got one this time. They both appear to be the $5 certificate.

Those SOB's spam me daily with emails and never include a mystery reward. Is there something that blatantly catches your eye to know that a reward is included?

BTW, I have been a member since the 90's and spend over $1,000 a year at their B&M and online.

I think distribution of the rewards is almost certainly tied to geographic location and what stores you normally frequent. They seem to use these mystery rewards for that purpose.

That is one reason why big customers may not ever see them.

I got a mystery reward but I think it said I had to go to the physical store to see what it is. Ha, like I'm going to do that.

I was going to use mine, but it expired yesterday. Could have used it for one of the Disney 4K steelbooks, or even get some combos and a pepsi.

Mine certificate was for $5. I used it to get something practical and got some batteries.

Didn't feel like spending big money on media right now.

One note on that older Superman: Doomsday Blu-ray. Warner's recent The Death and Return of Superman UHD set exclusively includes Doomsday on UHD, also throwing in lossless audio as well for the first time.

Re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Is there any secret to improving my chances of changing my Best Buy password? Apparently the password I have in my "password bank" doesn't work anymore, and I've been waiting on several "verification codes" to be sent to my email and via text for the past 3 days now. Kinda irritated.

I'd try a different browser with no popup blockers/ adblock/ublock origin attached. Also make sure to check spam filters
If there is an alternative reset procedure (??Phone/text) or last resort call Customer Support/IT and have them reset from their side

I'll second this, although I would suggest checking your spam/junk folder first. First, It's the quickest, easiest thing to do. Second, Pretty much all emails I get from Best Buy end up there... even though I keep marking them as not junk. This has been going on for some time now.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give those steps a try.

Re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

I went through the password change thing with Bestbuy.com about ten or so years ago.

I either lost my original password, or the site stopped accepting it, actually, it must have been the latter, because it was still showing up in my password list. It either finally got sorted, or I had to set up a new account, don't remember which.

Looks like things haven't changed much.

Re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

At some point Best Buy merged separate user accounts on Bestbuy.com and their rewards program log-in, which at one time were separate. You can tell that Best Buy attempted to create some kind of unified customer database a few years back across all their platforms.

Noticed Peppermint (BD) was on sale for $3.99 at Amazon. Figured it was a price match and discovered it's at BB for that same price for anyone interested.

Probably worth it you enjoy the leads.
