here's my question.... how the heck did you get $350 worth of reward zone cash in a lump sum big enough and not have it expire little by little..?

Can you choose not to have it redeemed until you decide to. I thought it was automatic...?????

So, the total of the purchase was $11,181.90. I remembered to grab a Rewards Zone card to get money back, and it should come out to around $335 of rewards, which is pretty sweet.

There is no way you can buy something and return it in cash. It won't happen, this is BB where talking about.

Buy a monitor or TV or memory cards or X360 games. Or a Nintendo DS Lite.


I am going by this

Does that work for Reward Zone?


you would have to exchange whatever you bought, not return it. But yeah, it would let you float it for a little while.

Thing is, I don't know what'll change from now and 30 days from now.

Not if you bought it, left, and returned in like an hour and claimed you got home and it wouldn't work with the comp blah blah blah...


n00bs. if a purchase is made with reward zone certs, and the item is returned, the return will be made in the form of newly processed reward zone certificates, sent via mail/email.

Well, I held out. Looks like the coupons actually expire a little later then I thought, so when I get back, I think I'm going to grab the Motorola Q.

Don't really listen to speakers, since I have custom earphones.

Well fvck man, go walk around till you find something. Movies, games, music at a minimum.

LOL, yeah, I never realized how tough it could be to spend money. I'm gonna save up another $100 (or wait till my next paycheck) and just grab the Moto Q. Then I'll be set.

you could get that lappy for $429, use the $100 coupon and you should be right around $350 with the tax
