Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

What in the world are you talking about? I mean, I get what you're saying and all, but don't you think that's a bit of a stretch? I bought stuff there that I was going to buy there regardless, and they give me points for that, which turns into free money. I don't just buy there just for the sake of racking up points. Take for example, Avatar's Blu-ray release this week. I didn't buy it at BB, because it was cheaper elsewhere. But when the prices are better around the area at Best Buy, or some kind of electronic I want is on sale there, then I buy. But, really, thanks for assuming I go to Best Buy and blow a bunch of money just for the sake of getting reward zone bucks, lol.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

I'll pile on here and say that you're way off base here.

It is a great program. Totally free, just an extra bonus on top of the loss leader and sale pricing that I already get there.

I'm a cheap-ass that rarely pays more than all but the most extreme shoppers here, and I buy as much at Best Buy than at any other retailer, online or not. In fact, if I had to guess I'd say that I spend more at Best Buy than anywhere else. None of those purchase decisions are affected by the RZ program, that's all gravy.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

Exactly.

And when it all boils down to it, the only question one has to ask, especially with a retailer like Best Buy that usually does pretty well with release week prices, "What other store is doing that for you, for free?"

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

Are you really only getting 2% back with RZ? :lol: And maybe i should start checking the BB ads so I can find all these loss leader everyone is talking about.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

its even better when you have teh Reward Zone Master Card! i get points on things im going to buy no matter what...like Gas! and i get double the points when i use it at best buy. I have no complaints about it.

One mans happiness is another man headache. :)

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

Yeah, one just needs to read the forum.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

I tried to let this thread die. I really did, but this has got me really upset. Now when you're a member of the gamer's club you are supposed to get 250 bonus points for preordering red dead redemption. Which I did. However, my preorder posted, but no points. Can someone please explain to me what the deal is with this?

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

You're not going to get any points until after the return period of course.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

The return period after I buy the game or on the preorder?

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

My guess would be the game. Otherwise, everyone would exploit the system to cost the company money in ways it hadn't intended. Giving $5 in store credit on a $60 purchase is more than a little different than giving $5 for nothing.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

I see what you're saying, but the preorder does cost money. I'll see what the deal is after I buy the game.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

Cancel your pre-order, pre-order it at Wal-Mart or Amazon, and get a $20 gift card instead of points that you have to wait for them to turn into a certificate in 90 days.

Problem solved.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

and if you return said pre-order you get your money back and they would still be out $5 in points.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

return on preorder is over. I can't return it. I wish I would have known about the Walmart deal.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

There is no such thing as a time limit on pre-order returns.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

BB contacted me and said they are going to me the points. It seems like the website did not register when I joined the gamer's club, but its clearly says I'm a member.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

In my experience, Reward Zone only really works when you shop through Best Buy. And since I'm a sucker for a good deal, I haven't been there in a while. That's the way the ball bounces in many ways. When they get more deals (and I get a better job), I'll probably go back.

Re: A couple of things I really hate about reward zone
 

just an fyi, i recall reading here and there instances of points not being correctly applied to gamer rewardzone program. im guessing its a glitch in the rewardzone system itself, so make sure to check for accuracy i guess.
