Secret unadvertised specials at Best Buy

In addition to what you see in their weekly circular ads, BestBuy.com is offering some additional unadvertised specials for those in their inner circle! And we have them for you! Here they are, the exciting Unadvertised Specials! These TV and Home Theater Prices are not Shown in Our Weekly Ad.

The specials are good for the whole week and include 18 items, including a 32" LG HDTV (LCD, 1080p, 60Hz) for $620, an Insignia BluRay player for $180, the Panasonic DMP-BD60K BluRay player for $250, and a whole lot more.

But don't sleep on these, they are only good for one week!

Best Buy Reward Zone: 100 bonus points and faster online delivery!

If you are a member of Best Buy's free Reward Zone rewards program, check your email inbox! They have a new promotion where you can sign up for online delivery of your rewards certificates. Best Buy promises that they will be delivered two weeks earlier with online delivery, and as an incentive for signing up and saving them the costs of printing and mailing, they will give you 100 bonus points.

100 bonus points are not a whole lot in the Best Buy Rewards Zone program, but getting your rewards two weeks earlier sounds like a good idea, especially if you are a regular Best Buy shopper that loads up on rewards points and wants to spend it yesterday :)

Best Buy Reward Zone Racing Club is launched

If you are a member of Best Buy's Reward Zone or if you are a fan of car racing in general, you might be interested in the launch of the Racing Club by Best Buy's Reward Zone!

What is this you ask? Best Buy is sponsoring the #19 Dodge Charger driver, Elliott Sadler. The Reward Zone Racing Club is your chance to get exclusive access to all the behind-the-scenes action.

What are the special benefits of the club? For car racing fans, priceless. For the rest of us, they have some tangible benefits:

Race Finish Bonus Points whenever Elliott wins a race or places in the top 10. This will act as a multiplier to the points you earn the first day after the race. For example if he wins a race on Sunday (finished first), all your purchases on Monday will earn 4X points per dollar spent.

Monthly member-only e-mails with links to exclusive comments from Elliott Sadler

Future sweepstakes opportunities and information about special offers

Check the Best Buy website for details on the Reward Zone and such.

Best Buy MyZone Rewards certificates can now be used online!

Best Buy informs its users that the Best Buy MyZone Rewards certificates can now be used online! You no longer have to use them in-store, but you can also use them online! Which is great for online shoppers, or buy-online-pickup-at-the-store shoppers! And it's very simple to do: Just enter your certificate number at checkout, where prompted at BestBuy.com.

You can also use multiple reward certificates wihtin a single BestBuy.com order. The purchase must be greater (or at least equal) to the reward certificate(s) amount. They don't give cash back on the difference :) So, shop shop shop!

Best Buy Exclusive RewardZone Holiday Shopping event on November 11

Best Buy is advertising to its My Reward Zone members an exclusive members-only holiday shopping event on Sunday night, Sunday November 11, 2007 at participating Best Buy stores. The event will take place from 830pm to 1030pm. I kid you not. You have to take your email invitation with you and you can bring a guest.

The event will feature exclusive two hour specials, and the first 100 members in the store will receive a free Dynex optical mouse. Every 15 minutes there will be drawings for Best Buy $50 gift cards. And there will be one Dirt Devil Kone handheld vacuum drawing per store as well (what are they smoking?).

All your purchases will earn double Reward Zone points on that day, and if you have a RewardZone Mastercard and your purchases are $1000 or more, you will earn triple points!

Please remember this special event will only take place at participating Best Buy stores, not every store, so be sure to check your invitation or the Reward Zone website for the list of stores that are participating!

This weekend only, double or triple MyRewardZone points at Best Buy

This weekend (until Monday 11/5/07) Best Buy has a special promotion for MyZoneRewards members. Get double points on all TVs $999 and higher. But if you use your Reward Zone MasterCard then you earn triple points instead of double points. Isn't that nice? They also offer a 60-day low price guarantee, including their own prices. So if you have your eyes set on a big TV at Best Buy, this is a nice kickback.

Best Buy's MyRewards Zone Holiday Special Promotion

Best Buy's MyRewardZone is launching a new promotion for the holiday shopping season. Details at MyRewardZone/holiday. The promotion period is November 4 through December 22, 2007.
You have a choice, you can chose one of five reward options based on your shopping patterns and preferences:
1) Earn $15 in bonus reward certificates (750 points) if you spend $500 or more during the promotional period
2) Earn double points when you shop before 11am (except Black Friday November 23, 2007)
3) Earn triple points on Best Buy's house brands such as Dynex, Insignia, Geek Squad, init, and Rocketfish
4) Get a free 6-month trial of Geek Squad online secured data backup service
5) Donate the value to Toys for Teens.


Opinion
Obviously it's hard to predict what you are going to be buying and from which store because it partially depends on where the good sales are at. If you are a morning person and you are planning to make big purchases in the next few weeks, option #2 would give you the most rewards. If you exclusively buy Best Buy branded products, then go with option #3. If you are planning to buy at least $500, then go with option #1. Otherwise, consider #2, #3 or #5.

Best Buy email coupon 10-12% off!

Best Buy fans, check your emails because the good people at Best Buy have sent a coupon good for 10% to 12% off on a single item in selected categories. The coupon is valid until October 10, so there's plenty of time. You have to use your Rewards Zone card (RZ), or the Best Buy store card or Reward Zone credit card to get the discount. The Rewards Zone membership program is free to join, you just sign up, unless of course you want the credit cards.

Speaking of which, they do have a promotion, if you get the RZ mastercard, you will receive $30 in Reward certificates after you make your first purchase. Check online or in-store for all the details! We like credit card rewards very much, but please remember to use credit responsibly!

Best Buy Rewards Zone bonus for everyone!

Best Buy is feeling generous today, so they are giving 100 bonus Reward Zone points to everyone on the month of their birthday. Quickly, go change your birthday to October! Just kidding! :-)

Reward Zone for those not familiar is Best Buy's purchase rewards program. You can use it independently or you can apply for the Best Buy rewards credit card. Either way, you earn rewards points for your purchases, in addition to what you may earn from your credit card account. More details at MyRewardZone.com.

HDTV deals at Best Buy this week!

As I mentioned before, there is a correction on the front page Panasonic Plasma HDTV. The model at that price $1710 ($1800 - $90) is the 42" model, not the 50" model. Best Buy is not handing them out for free you know :)

42" Panasonic TH-42PZ77U-8501757 1080p at $1710. The front page of the ad incorrectly lists the 50" Panasonic TH_50PZ77U- 8501711 Plasma HDTV at that price.

Best Buy 9/23 Sunday circular ad error correction email

Best Buy has sent an email to people on their mailing list informing them of an error in their upcoming Sunday paper circular ad (September 23).

The error is a big one, on the front page, where the 50" Panasonic TH_50PZ77U- 8501711 Plasma HDTV is advertised at $1710. Scratch that! This is in error! The correct item was supposed to have been the 42" Panasonic TH-42PZ77U-8501757 Plasma HDTV at $1710.

Of course savvy buyers may still try to get this ad price-matched at other retailers, hoping for an early Xmas present :-)

HDTVs at Best Buy this week

First, some special financing offers. All Panasonic Plasma HDTVs can be had for no interest for three years. Also two years no interest on all home theaters and installation $999 and up.

Yes Siree! For $350 without rebates you can get the Gateway ML3109 laptop at Best Buy! Only one per household. Run to Best Buy! This price is awesome with capital A!

It is powered by an Intel Celeron processor, 512mb memory, 80gb hard disk, 14.1" Ultrabright widescreen display, cd burner/dvd player optical drive, and Vista Basic. For more detailed specs check with Best Buy or Gateway. And it doesn't hurt to read user and professional reviews either, not just with this model, but for all major purchases.
