CAGiversary!
Looks like the mystery rewards certs are being emailed out again, between $5 and $5000 again, must redeem in store by 11/6/19.
Reward certificates can no longer be used on any point of sale activation (POSA) cards. I tried a couple weeks ago.Anyone tried these on PSN credit? Thinking I'll just use it on a tenner and have another month of Spotify taken care of.
Damn that's what I was planning on using mine on.Reward certificates can no longer be used on any point of sale activation (POSA) cards. I tried a couple weeks ago.
Yeah, I came to post this. I am elite plus year in and year out and they have never gifted me a dime. This may be the first year I qualify for neither elite or elite plus and just stop shopping there.Never got one and have been an elite member for years.
I have 11 promotional emails (14 total) from them in the span of 7 days and none of them were a mystery reward.You should check to make sure your account is set up to receive emails from them.
or just goto the store and let them order it for you and use the certificate in store at the time of purchase? theyll ship it to your house.Not being able to use these online sucks. I now have to order something ship-to-store, return it, and then buy it back with the cert because it's not in stock at my store, lol
Other way around, they don't work on the currency cards.side note i think you can use these for currency cards eg $10 psn card or ebay cards but not subscription stuff xbox live gold or psn plus its that or the other way around i cant remember
No cert for me. I made Elite Plus by February this year, so guessing either I haven't gotten mine yet or this is being sent to users who haven't bought much this year.
I've been Elite Plus by midyear for the last 5 years and never received these emails, like others here. This year I won't even make Elite and I got one, so I think you're right, they're targeting folks who aren't spending as much there.I'm also Elite Plus and didn't get a certificate, just like every year.
Yeah, tried my luck last night since someone had posted elsewhere that they got $100 despite being the code everyone has but no dice. Just means I'll have to return, repurchase something soon. *sigh*Reward certificates can no longer be used on any point of sale activation (POSA) cards. I tried a couple weeks ago.
I believe I remember hearing that their official stance is these are randomly generated to all customers, but in reality it does seem that the highest spenders and most loyal customers always get shafted.I've been Elite Plus by midyear for the last 5 years and never received these emails, like others here. This year I won't even make Elite and I got one, so I think you're right, they're targeting folks who aren't spending as much there.
https://www.bestbuy.com/profile/c/cp/emailSubscriptions Check there to make sure General Marketing is set to Yes, sign me up. Mine had been flipped to either one per week or no thanks at some point last year and I didn't get the email. I flipped it to Yes when I checked last year after the emails had gone out and got it this time. I had gotten them before then as well. If yours is already set to Yes, sign me up, then it won't do any good.I have 11 promotional emails (14 total) from them in the span of 7 days and none of them were a mystery reward.
Time to drop by and check.Got a 5167 and it was $20
Being close to Elite Plus doesn't mean shit. I'm at $10k spent this year and have been for the last 3+ years and never gotten one lolYeah super close to Elite Plus and no email here. I think my peeps at the BB I go to would be highly offended that I didn't get one lol. Spent enough damn money there in the last 6 months!!!

I think it's just random and some are unfortunately unlucky every time. I have been Elite Plus for the last 3 years due to putting nearly everything on my Best Buy credit card for extra reward points and I have gotten the mystery certs at least 2 out of those 3 years including this year.I've noticed throughout the past that the people who spent the least amount of money or ghost accounts are the ones to get the free certificates. I presume it's to drive business to people who wouldn't normally come in. Same idea as offering new customers better deals than long time customers.

Can you really blame them though? Spending $10K and can't even get $5 for their loyalty.It's funny seeing people bragging about spending over $10,000 a year at Best Buy but are bitching about not getting a $5 certificate.
I looked at my account today. I use my Best Buy credit card for various things and it works towards Elite Plus. I have spent well over $10k on it again this year and the same as last year no random certificate.It's funny seeing people bragging about spending over $10,000 a year at Best Buy but are bitching about not getting a $5 certificate.
A free $5 is a free $5. Doesn't mean the people spending 10K are super rich and can't use another $5....It's funny seeing people bragging about spending over $10,000 a year at Best Buy but are bitching about not getting a $5 certificate.
You do realize when you use a BBY CC, no matter where you buy stuff, it counts towards your Elite Plus for the year. I would never spend $10k at Best Buy solely lolIt's funny seeing people bragging about spending over $10,000 a year at Best Buy but are bitching about not getting a $5 certificate.
