POINTS
How do I earn points?
If you are a standard Reward Zone™ member, you’ll earn 1 point for nearly
every dollar you spend at Canadian Best Buy stores or BestBuy.ca. Simply show your
membership card in-store or enter your Member ID for online purchases.
If you are a Reward Zone™ Visa® Cardmember, you’ll earn 2 points
for nearly every dollar you spend at Canadian Best Buy stores or BestBuy.ca. In
addition, you will earn 1 point for nearly every dollar you spend everywhere else
Visa® is accepted.
When can I begin to earn points?
You can begin earning points once you have enroled in the Reward Zone™ program.
Show your membership card at the register in a Best Buy store or enter your Member
ID in your account profile on BestBuy.ca.
Where can I earn points?
If you are a standard Reward Zone™ member, points can be earned at Canadian
Best Buy stores or BestBuy.ca. For online purchases at BestBuy.ca, simply add your
Member ID to your account profile and points will be added every time you make an
online purchase.
If you are a Reward Zone™ Visa® Cardmember, points can be earned in-store
or online at location in the world everywhere Visa® is accepted.
How do I keep track of my points?
Sign in to your account to check your points and account activity.
Contact us if you have questions about your points or membership.
What if I forgot to provide my Reward Zone™ Member ID
when I made a purchase?
It’s easy to make sure you earn points on all your purchases. For in-store
or online purchases, sign in to your account and select "Get Missing Points" in
the left column. You can then update your previous purchase information by entering
information from your sales receipt. You can also
contact us for further assistance.
What’s the difference between pending and posted points?
Pending points are those points that have been allocated on recent eligible purchases.
Pending points are not posted to your account until they’ve been validated.
This validation occurs approximately 36 days after purchase or date of shipment.
Once validated, posted points are eligible for reward certificates.
Why can’t I view my most recent transactions?
Pending points may take up to three full business days to appear. If after three
days they still do not appear,
contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
What do I do if I think there is an error in my points?
Contact us if you
require assistance.
Do my points expire?
Points do not expire unless you do not make a qualifying purchase within a calendar
year. If no such purchase is made in a calendar year, your points will be cashed
out and reward certificates will be issued in $5 increments. Any points remaining
under $5 will be forfeited. If your account is terminated for any reason, you will
forfeit all points.
Keep in mind that reward certificates do expire. See the expiration date on each
certificate.
What happens to my points when I return an item?
The points you earned for that purchase will be deducted from your account.
REWARD CERTIFICATES
What can I purchase with my reward certificates?
Reward certificates can be used toward the purchase of nearly any product or service
in store. You must use them on an eligible product or service in an amount greater
than the value of the reward certificate. Certificates may be combined with other
offers, but they are valid on in-stock items only. At this time, reward certificates
can only be used in-store and not at BestBuy.ca
.
Can I save up my points for larger rewards?
Yes, you may save certificates and put them together for a larger purchase, but
keep in mind that each reward certificate has an expiration period from the date
it was issued.
Another option is to select a higher certificate issuance threshold in your account
profile. Selecting a higher threshold allows you to accumulate more points before
a reward certificate is issued. Once you’ve reached your selected threshold,
all points will be cashed out to the default level.
For example, (for standard Reward Zone™ members) if you select $20 as your
threshold, you will not receive a reward certificate until you’ve accumulated
enough points for $20 in reward certificates. Once you’ve reached your selected
threshold, all points will be cashed down to the $5 level.
Threshold options for standard Reward Zone™ members:
$5 - default
$10
$20
For example, (for Reward Zone™ Visa® Cardmembers) if you select $100 as
your threshold, you will not receive a reward certificate until you’ve accumulated
enough points for $100 in reward certificates. Once you’ve reached your selected
threshold, all points will be cashed down to the $20 level.
Threshold options for Reward Zone™ Visa® Cardmembers:
$20 - default
$50
$100
To change your certificate issuance threshold, sign in to your account, go to "My
Account" and select "My Profile".
How will I know I received a reward certificate?
If you are a standard Reward Zone™ member, once you have earned 400 points
or exceeded your selected threshold we will send you an e-mail message with a link,
alerting you that your reward certificates are available. You will be able to view
and print your certificates directly online.
If you are a Reward Zone™ Visa® Cardmember, once you have earned 1600
points or exceeded your selected threshold we will send you an e-mail message with
a link, alerting you that your reward certificates are available. You will be able
to view and print your certificates directly online.
What if I don’t have an e-mail address?
Most people have some kind of e-mail account these days, whether for personal use
or work. Currently, members must supply an e-mail address in order for us to notify
you of your earned reward certificates. In addition, we will also be able to notify
you quickly about exclusive, last-minute offers and promotions.
If you do not have an e-mail address, we recommend you set up a free web-based e-mail
account with, for example, Yahoo or Microsoft, and supply that address in your profile.
Do reward certificates expire?
Yes. They must be redeemed by the expiration date printed on each reward certificate.
Expired certificates cannot be reissued.
For standard Reward Zone™ members, you will have 90 days to redeem certificates.
For Reward Zone™ Visa® Cardmembers, you will have 180 days to redeem your
certificates.
What do I do if I lose my reward certificate?
Lost, stolen or expired certificates cannot be replaced. However, they are available
for printout in your account profile.
Can I redeem my reward certificates on
BestBuy.ca ?
No. At this time, reward certificates can only be redeemed in-store.
