    You should have received it in the mail. At least that's how I got mine.

    Best Buy's New Rewards Program...thoughts?

    Pretty standard practice as far as I know. The certificates have no cash value, so if your purchase was $15 and you handed over $20 in certs, then you'd forfeit the extra $5 since they're not going to give you cash back. That's the whole point of the program, to get you back in the store...

    You would get double points, but the release week sale price would have ended on Saturday so you're still better off to buy on Tuesday anyway.

    October. But you can get 10,000 bonus points if you make a certain amount of purchases on Saturday, November 29, prior to 10am (I think).

    Today I got the first of my 4 earned to date. Good 'til Valentine's Day.

    Same here. I'm trying not to get too hyped over this since I didn't have to pay anything to join this time, but I doubt I'll renew if this is how they run the program. Supposedly my first $5 cert was processed on August 20. Haven't seen it yet. :frowning:

    The question is, did you stay on the phone long enough to hear what that CSR said after Dave hung-up? :D :wink:

    My first was also supposed to be processed on 8/20. Haven't seen it yet.

    As noted above, they apparently aren't converting points to certificates until 30 days have passed since your qualifying 12,500th point. This solves my query of a few days ago. I've earned lots of points recently but most are only 2-3 weeks old so I still have a couple weeks to wait until...

    I think the delay is that they're only issuing coupons once a month. I've earned enough points for 3 certificates, but my on-line account says they've only mailed one certificate back on 8/20.

    For all the bitching I've done about this program, I think I've already qualified for four discount certificates. I guess the only bad thing about this program is that it will make plain how much of the ol' paycheck goes to Best Buy each week. :D

    "earn points on nearly every purchase" "points on everything except certain products and services" Has anyone figured out what, specifically, the exclusions are? I've looked over all the info they sent me and I can't seem to find anywhere that clearly spells out what items/services are...
