DesiPower - Yeah, you apply the points towards a future purchase. The points take awhile to become available - I bought something today and in my "Super Points" page it says they'll be available February 15. Once available, you can just apply them against your checkout balance, at the rate of...

Today only (Thursday, January 31) until 11:59 PST. Use code 'welcome10x' at checkout. It's not necessary to be a new customer, I think the "welcome" bit is just because they just changed the site name from Buy.com to Rakuten.com. You do need to have a Rakuten.com account, because the...
