Best Buy Reward Zone Members: Earn 10 More FREE Points (Via the Facebook App)
If you’re a Best Buy Reward Zone program member (it’s free to sign up!), you can currently score 10 FREE Reward Zone points (yep, it looks like they have reduced the points from 25 to 10)! Just head to the Best Buy Reward Zone Facebook App by signing in or registering for an account, then click on the “User Poll” tab and scroll down to take the new Best Buy Mobile App Poll. After taking the poll, a pop up should come up stating that you just earned 10 points! And keep in mind that you only need 250 points to score a $5 Rewards Certificate!
Side Note: If you have noticed that some of your Rewards Zone points are missing from your account, please note that the Reward Zone program is an annual program running from January 1st to December 31st. In February every year, the Best Buy Rewards Zone system updates all accounts issuing certificates for 250 or more points and expiring points under 250. However, the points earned after January 1st, 2013 and Facebook poll points should not be effected in this process – only the points from last year 2012. If you have had points earned in 2013 that were deducted in the annualization process by the system, they will be posted back to your account when the annualization period is over (this period will take approximately 2 weeks). If you have any additional questions regarding your account, you can call Best Buy at 1-888-Best Buy.
(Thanks, Gina and Free Stuff Times!)
My 200 points that they took by mistake for the annual membership are back this morning. And after 3 days I could final get to the webpage.
Does anyone know if you can use the reward certs towards gift cards? I know they used to sell gcs to restaurants, etc, but I rarely go to Best Buy so I don’t know that either.
No. They definitely won’t allow gift cards. I would imagine after the MasterCard fiasco they will be keenly in tune with the whole gift card thing.
Ok thanks. Not sure what the MasterCard fiasco was but I can always get a movie for my girls with the rewards.
I use my reward certs to buy Amazon gift cards and have never had an issue.
I buy gift cards all the time with my reward points.
Can you combine reward certificates and use more than one at a time?
You can use multiple reward certificates in one transaction.
When I go to the poll it looks as though I’ve already voted even though I haven’t? Hmmm. My points haven’t changed though.
Same here!
I am having the same problem. The new polls aren’t letting me vote although I have not yet voted in them.
Today was the first time I’ve had that problem…hopefully it gets fixed for tomorrow!
I read their policy and it looks like you cannot by BEST BUY gift cards, but I didn’t see anything about other gift cards. I have read several comments in which people say they have bought Amazon gift cards with reward points, so I’m going to try.
Got “0” points for that vote…
Were you signed in when you voted? If you aren’t signed into your Reward Zone account when you vote you won’t get the points. 🙁 Happened to me too ONCE lol
Okay, so they got that back up, but the Ultimate Space still isn’t working…I’m waiting on that now. Hope it’s still 50 points when it does work!
I read on their fb wall that it’s now 25 points, and seems to be working for some, but not me!
I just got 10 points for voting. Apparently they changed the point value from 25 to 10 points. I’m still waiting for the correction for the missing points still though.
Just had my husband redeem 3 of our $5 certificates yesterday. He was able to combine his and mine. We don’t purchase items normally at Best Buy, so I had him get the 2 bags of the AFFRESH for our washing machine; costing $3. The last time, I used 2 $5 certificates and purchased an ice cream scooper; costing $1.
I am surprised they didn’t shut this program down. I looked on their facebook yesterday and the comments left by people were pretty demeaning. F bombs and insults everywhere. For what? A free program offered by best buy and some act is if they are getting ripped off. I am greatful for this program but I would never stoop down to the level of the demeanor I observed over some free points.
I agree. It’s because people these days are rude and feel like they are entitled to anything and everything.
I agree with you ercin13. The fb comments were absolute terrible, but nowadays, it seems like everyone feels like they are “ENTITLED”!!! I really appreciate them doing this freebie program and have written to them to thank them! Others should do the same!!
i agree. Everyone thinks they are entitled to everything these days. I was so disgusted by the comments that I left one saying thank you for any and all free points and there was no anger from me. They even commented back thanking me. There was WAY to much negativity and nastiness being posted.
Just got this email. Hello Doreen,
We’ve heard you!
Redeeming your rewards just got a lot easier. During checkout, the cashier can automatically apply your reward certificate to a purchase using just your ID and member number. You can still redeem by presenting printed and mobile certificates.
Well its gonna take longer to get to my next $5, but it free money, so I can’t complain at all!

It says Member Choice would be back Feb 17 but it’s still not up and today is Feb 19. 🙁 Oh well. Still have earned two $5 gift certificates in just a month’s time by taking the FB polls.
I got 25 points for the poll today plus I got back all the point they took away earlier this month. Now I’m only 100 points away from a $10 certificate. Yay!
I just got 25 for voting. Maybe they are still giving certain members 25 points, I shop there alot and I am a cardholder if that helps.
I got 25 points and I haven’t spent more than $1 there in years. Maybe the system is still playing catch up.
I think that if you read what the point award is…if you get the correct answer you will get the 25 points like I got today….but if you get the wrong answer and that depends on how the voting is done by us, the consumer, you may end up with 10 or 0. It all depends on how the poll is going and what answer you mark. Hope this helps….
I got 25 points also, the other poll is now live so I got another 25 points and don’t forget tomorrow the ultimate spaces (kitchen) is available :). Love free money I used $25 worth of free certificates to get 2 boxes of kcups!
That’s weird. It said I got 0 point but I X out and went back on and I have 25 extra points. Is that a glitch.
That happens to me just about every time.
