Email from Best Buy confirming I will be sent $50 GC

I got the email today too
I'm guessing those of us who have gotten the emails are the ones who used a rewards zone card at the time of purchase.

Just curious, have those of you that are worried that you haven't received an e-mail called Best Buy? I've called the number (I think 888-bestbuy) a couple of times, spoken with a couple of CS reps who have been very friendly and helpful, and I've made sure that my in-store purchase (not made with reward zone) is in the system and validated to receive the gift card. I needed to give them my receipt info for them to look up and validate. That's more direct than waiting for the e-mail.

Got email this am! 
What to spend $50 on - HD-DVD probably if they still have any by then 
Busy day for Best Buy. I got the email this morning and a message on my machine when I got home. Guess I'm definitely getting $ back.

I was thinking about this .. wouldn't they save a little bit by issuing the $50 in the form of printable rewards zone coupons? Then they wouldn't have to mail anything out? And it could be done a lot quicker.

Calling worked for me too. They had one on file, and I had another from a printed receipt that I gave them the info for.
Thank you $100.

Well considering my apartment got robbed and all my HD-DVDs and Blu Ray movies got jacked along with my PS3, this will help replace things. I received my e-mail a couple of days ago. Bastard thieves didn't take the A2...must have been in the loop on that. Anyway, if you can't find your receipt, go and see if they can find it by your phone number at the store. The one by me pulled up the over 3000 things I've purchased since 2000. It was about 40 pages long. Really helped with the insurance. Just an idea.

Haven't gotten an email yet, but the operator told me they would be sending out after May 7th, she took down all my info. She said they were going in alphabetical order.
