This is my 2nd blog about merchants that offer cash back from reward points. Whenever I want electronics, I start my research on Best Buys' website. After analyzing the value on this blog, I realized its true value at the end of this page.

| One review gets 10% closer to earn $5 or 50 cents per review |
Best Buys Rewards - free to enroll. You earn 1 point per dollar spent after discount before tax. It will rounded off to full dollar. So you get only 1 point for $1.99 item. I will get a $5 off coupon for every 250 reward points.

| I'm getting closer to earn that $5. Buy Buy Buy. |
Bonus Points - "Review your purchase and get 25 My Best Buy bonus points" - after each purchase, I get invitations to write a review on the product. This encourages me to share my experience. This opportunity doesn't expire but the email link will. I would recommend write a review quickly because the item could be sold out or deleted from the list. That would be a waste of time. Another problem, my profile is empty after an update. What a waste.

| I wasted 2 hour to find something to buy. |
Mystery Certiļ¬cate - once a year around Black Friday. I receive an email invitation to buy something and I won't know my saving until cashier tells me. I had received double reward points to 50% off of something costs $10.
 |
| Surprise is in the email. |
Anniversary Bonus - It's always a surprise. Because I don't know when that is.
 |
| Nothing I need. Nice try. |
Happy Birthday - On the first day of your birth month, you'll get an email for 10% off one select item.
On top of those, I use airline rewards. I get half mile for each dollar spent.
Bottom line: Not worth to buy something for the purpose of earning points at Best Buys. In order to make this work, each dollar I spend equates to 2 pennies toward $5 off coupon. After all, I normally shop around on Amazon, Walmart and Micro Center before making my final selection.
