Acually, I should be fine. I just noticed I have 18 points pending that should clear on the 22nd.

I was able to get another 50 points out of this. I read on another forum if you have access to another facebook account you can do the polls twice for a second 50 points. Since I have 2 facebook accounts I tried it and it worked. When I checked my RZ account I now have 100 points. It puts me over 250 points for a $5 RZ cert. It seems 2 times is the limit. I read when someone tried it a third time they didn't get anymore points.

Edit to add:

I don't know if this step is necessary but I deleted the BB app from my first facebook account before doing the polls a second time.

This sort of worked for me. By switching over and using FB as my blog's page I was able to take another poll but only one of the 2 for another 25 points. Kind of pointless as I won't be getting to 250 points before the reset

Thanks, LASER! I got 50 points which puts me at 254 total :-)

Thanks Laser! I was waiting for my pending points to hit, but those free points put me over 250!

It worked for me and it got me another $5 certificate. Thanks!

There appears to be a new poll everyday, meaning you can earn 25 points everyday! If they keep this up, then every 10 days = $5! Not bad for the little work it involves (the hardest part will be remembering to do it). Reminds me of the old Sony Rewards program where you did a couple games everyday and earned enough to get free Blu-ray's every month.

I tried doing it from two accounts, and erasing the app between logins, but it didn't work. Only 50 points for me.

Not sure what Geek Squad poll you are referring to, but the two polls which give points are under User Poll, and Members Choice. There is nothing to type. You just pick which deal offer you want, and which Smartphone is the best. Easy peasy 50 points. Did it using two accounts, so got 100 points, pushing me to 287 points. $5 cert should be on its way! I did have to remove the app. When I logged into my 2nd account and tried the link, it showed me the poll results without letting me vote. So I returned to the first account, removed the app, went back to the 2nd account, then was able to vote and get my points...

Make that 50 points every day using the above "trick". I just tried it again now that it's 2:30 and I was able to get 25 points for the same account twice on a different poll to make it 100 points added to my account just over the last few hours. Surely they'll put a stop to this soon. Not just the "trick" but the entire giving away free points every day as well.

What is the "different poll"? I see the same two polls as last night, and I can't do them again. I just shows me the poll results. Even tried a different browser.

I'm not sure when they change the questions but it is still the same poll today. Was able to take it twice last night on different FB accounts for 50 more points. Didn't even need to delete the app.

Is that the only one you all have seen to get points (other than the "pick the deal" thing)?

Actually make that three. It just turned 12am and a new poll just popped up...

There were a lot of $9.99 ($4.99 after coupon) blu-rays available in store today.

I picked up The Town, Fight Club, and Knocked Up.

What was interesting was the clerk at the customer service desk didn't even know that they were doing trade-and-save and, after she found it in the computer, she printed and photo-copied the coupons for me. There is nothing that would have prevented me from making any number of copies the same way.

I now have $30 in rewards certificates and a $25 gift card. I think I may go driving over to the store here after the Falcons game. :D
