$10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

Apparently some Best Buy reward member are receiving a $10 "Happy Holidays" certificate wile others are not. I just sent my e-mail complaining about this. They pulled this crap last year as well and many members who never received a certificate (including myself) called and complained and were given the points. I recommend if you are a member who did not receive this certificate to e-mail or call and voice your anger. If this issue is not resolved with the e-mail I sent I will be calling. Here is the thread over at Blu-ray.com http://forum.blu-ray.com/retail-shop...days-ymmv.html

I remember this from last year. It's nice to get presents at Christmas but I'm not one to get mad about it if someone doesn't get me something. It's not like I'm owed it, or anything.

its the picking and choosing that gets most (including myself) upset.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

Thanks, I didn't know about this. I DID receive it in my account, but didn't get an email about it. NOTE: IT EXPIRES 12/31/11

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

Thanks--looks like I was put on the naughty list again this year--last year they didn't send me one either--and I buy a lot from them. Time to msg them.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

I think I saw on another website that some people got two, one prior to Thanksgiving and another more recently. I know I don't shop at Best Buy as much as I once did, but if they gave me $10, I would be more inclined to make a purchase there.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

I think only the people who don't shop at Best Buy often, received one of these coupons. I received one last year but only found out about it right before it expired. They got a lot of my money this year which probably is why I didn't get one this year.

I found out I have a $10 rewards certificate that expires in March 2012 and only $7 away from a $5 certificate though. Why don't they send e-mail notifications? I receive all their other junk mail, but stuff I need to be notified of I don't get.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

Forget a $10 certificate, I would be happy if Best Buy would send me ANY of the items I ordered on Thanksgiving that were erroneously listed as in stock and are as of today still on backorder (although they certainly managed to remove the funds from my bank account).

I dropped $1400 on a MacBook Air a few months ago and I got bumpkis.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

I ain't mad about not getting one, but I shot off an email about it. If they say, "none for you," I'll be fine.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

They do. Maybe you need to change your RZ preferences???

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

Thanks for the heads up.. I just logged in and checked my Points and Purchases.. on 12/1... There was a line item "Reward Zone Credit Card Bonus Certificate"... which deducted 0 points.. Not quite sure why... I then checked My Certificates.. and yeppers.... I got a $5 certificate... that expires on 12/31.. Bizarro...

I never got an email either.. I usually get many from them... and I didn't find any prefererence settings that filters the amount or what to receive..

So again.. thanks for the heads up to check.. while I would have like $10.. $5 is still good.. :D

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

btw.. Thanks for having me review my Best Buy emails.. one of normal advertising ones had an obscure link at the top saying "Enjoy a Movie on Us".. I clicked it.. got a link to code to use on CinemaNow for a free <strike>movie rental</strike> Standard Def Purchase...

Not a bad list of titles

It was at the top of the email for "$10 gift card with 3 Blu-rays"

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

I checked my account and don't see one. I did get one last year that was issued 12/15, so perhaps one might still appear.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

I didn't get one last year, I don't feel entitled to one, so I didn't get upset about it. I just didn't shop at Best Buy very much this year.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

FYI,

I used the code, it processed perfectly, but when I tried to watch the movie, it said I had no credit card on file.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

They sent me $5 instead of $10

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

I didn't receive one, at least so far. I don't remember receiving one last year either. Oh well, I have one reward certificate I earned that expires in February. Would have been nice to have a 2nd one, but...

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

Well after being disconnected twice and transferred five times. ARGHHHHH! I finally got my $10! The last guy I talked to told me it was the same B.S. as last year. They were sending them out to members who had not been in the store in a long time. LAME! Looks calling and complaining is going to be a new yearly tradition for a lot of us.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

The same thing happens every year. Lots of people don't get the freebie RZ certificate, some people call in and have success and post about it, and then a bunch of other people call in. I think I called the previous year and got $5 or $10 after 2 or 3 tries. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle or wait on the phone for just $5 or $10 since I have no grounds for calling other than "other people are getting this freebie, so why not me too".

We now know this is not an error but an intentional practice of BB to reward customers who do not buy a lot. They gave me Premier Silver for free when I hadn't spent much, and though I've spent a lot this BF (because BB actually had some decent deals and free shipping) I'm still nowhere near Silver level. So, since I've bought more from them this year and they only reward people who don't buy much from them, I'm positive they will not offer me free Silver next year. All Silver is good for (for me) is free shipping. So without free shipping at BB then I buy a lot less.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

I bought a lot with them and still got the $5 certificate so I am not so sure what the criteria is for the bonus or why some get $5 and others get $10.

You can just mash the keys for the card. Worst case is they may check if it's valid when you first enter it but after that you can just edit it with mashed keystrokes.

Re: $10 Best Buy Reward Zone Cert for "Happy Holidays"
 

^^ I feel the same way. They upgraded me to Silver, but I don't spend $2500 a year there to keep it. So they'll bump me back down to the standard Rewards Member, where they take away my points at the end of the year if I don't spend the $250 for the certificate! That's a lose-lose for me. Absolutely no incentive to keep the Rewards card at all!

I am a Silver Member. Called today - a very nice southern belle (not southern india, thankfully) spoke to me and apologized profusely that I hadn't received one - she applied one immediately for me. Yes!
