Points, Policies & Certificates

[AceJohn]

Another easy one is joining RWZ dining and buying something small. There is a frozen yogurt shop by my house and rewards qualify all week. Buy some ice cream for $5 and it qualifies. Then there is the men's building magazine. You pay $12 for a year but get 500 pts. So $2 for another qualifying transaction plus a magaine if you like it. You got the mall transaction already. That's 3 easy ones. 1800flowers and telefora are good too if you have a special occasion or b-day coming up. Hopefully the activation of accounts for Hulu and points.com count as well. If so that's 5 easy ones right there.

Hi Karina,

Any answers from your business team?  As I'm sure multiple merchants from the RWZ Mall will only count as one transaction, what about the other partners which offer free trials or subscriptions? (points.com, HULU+)  Will these count as transactions?  09/30 right around the corner I would like to know so I can take full advantage of the promotion.  Thanks!

I'm thnking maybe Huku Plus....  and then a RZ Mall store...

can we have an answer really soon?  I didn't buyy last night with B&N and I had an online coupon to use.....but I didn't use it.

The 30th is Friday and some of us need answers so we can make a quick decision!

I am sure Online Mall only counts as one parnter as well. In addition I would guess only purchases which despoit points into your Reward Zone account would count as well. I used My Reward Zone Dining, Handyman Maginzine, USA Today eEdition, 2 Online Mall Purchases (I just happed to need Tires last minute, lol) & Vinesse Wine Clubs, Also got the Hulu trial since I had it at one point and wanted to see if it got better. Don't think it will count for the 5 however.

any word yet?  There's ONLY a few days left!   I really want to take advtange of this....but if I don't get my 500 bonus if I do two partners, I would not be happy.

I am guessing THIS would work:

Hulu Plus (since it IS a partner)

One purchase from Reward zone Mall store

If I had to guess Hulu will not work since it won't credit until after the trial. But a answer would be helpful. You could try Twelpforce I guess.

Hulu Plus had better work!  Its one of the parners in the list.    I joined last night and I also placed my preorder Order at B&N.com for a DVD set that;s coming out October 11th.       

I can't join anything else....The dining rewards would be worthless...there's few restaurants for my zip code listed.  Plus, my parents usualy pay when we go out to eat.     Magazine would be worthless...I have no need for a handyman magazine.  I already have a netflix account and I placed it on voluntary hold until Octrober 15th.

And it said only one transaction in the MALL counts....so I only made that one purchase.  Otherwise, I may have made another purchase.

It said the points would credit between November 6 and November 20th

I don't need the magazine either but you get 500 bonus points ($10) back right away. The subscription is $12. So for $2 you get to add another partner towards the 5 and $50. Not sure why Karina has not responded. Is she dropping the ball on this one? Her last answer implied multiple mall transfers could count, which is not true. What if a member went off that answer alone? Come on Karina this is your last day to set things straight plus let us know if partners such as Hulu Plus and points.com are qualifying transactions.

I also did not need handyman club but my dad will read it so my wife and I figured it was a win win. USA Today is a wash as well and I weekly that paper.

Today is the last day for the September Promotion. Although I don't know for sure this is what I would assume:

• Only Parnters Which Credit Points To Your Reward Zone Account in September (or show a September transaction date) will likely count. I myslef and adding up the little RZ Parnter icons for my tally. I don't think Points.com (Just Signing Up Without Exchangeing Points) or Hulu will count since they will not award points until after 30 days and that is October.
• I only think1 Online Mall Parnter will count as that is what the terms and conditions states.

If you need to go over the top you can try today:

• Handyman Club, It may not be what you need but with this promo you end up money ahead.
• Reward Zone Dining is easy and works for whatever ammont.
• Online Mall is easy for any ammount.
• USA Today (Paper or eEdition) will both wash out but give you money ahead with this promotion.
• Vinesse Wine Club, My wife and I love this wine club and with the new member bonus and this promotion you end up getting free wine.

I don't work for Best Buy and I could be wrong just trying to help people take advantage of a great promo. Hope a community connector can help explain some of the other memers concerns as well.
