Wow. Today and tomorrow only. Official verbiage and fine print:
As a My Best Buy™ member, you get 5X base points on all qualifying in-store purchases Friday and Saturday (1/3/14–1/4/14).
My Best Buy members get 5X base points on qualifying purchases. Not valid online. Bonus points will not be multiplied. Bonus points not awarded for gift card purchases. Points will not be awarded on purchases made on the Best Buy credit card with promotional credit. May not be combined with other bonus point offers. Valid 1/3/14–1/4/14 at Best Buy stores.
Two things that make this great:
- They’ve done triple points before, but never 4x or 5x that I can recall.
- When they’ve done triple points, they’ve required a coupon, or else limited it to only one purchase per Best Buy rewards number. In this case, it’s on all purchases today and tomorrow.
And of course you all remember that 5X points is the equivalent of 10% back. You know what to do, folks. Have a great weekend!
Actually I have to confess… I saw this… but I don’t know what to do. How lucrative is this? I guess I should just google
That’s what I love about this blog. No primers. You actually need to think and read between the lines. Might want to respect that if you found it here.
Thanks HikerT, referring to deals (the really good and likely short-lived ones, anyway) in a more roundabout way is my way of striking a balance between spreading information and not killing deals. If a deal is good enough, or potentially good enough, I won’t mention it–or if I’ve inadvertently mentioned a killable deal, I’ll refrain from mentioning it again. Something like this is a great deal yet of limited enough interest that I feel like I can mention it just so long as I don’t start putting up pictures with arrows.
Is there a limit to how many points can be earned on the “my best buy” program?
If there is, I’m not aware of it. Most I’ve ever had at once is 50K.
