Wrist bands are for items that do not have a hour guarantee. One hour guarantee you get in line for that product by 7 and get the deal. Others will have a wrist band for the amount of items they have. If they have 50 tv's the first 50 people get wrist bands. One hour everyone gets the item that day or a voucher for the item. Last year the hour lines moved quickly and I was able to pick up the items I wanted.
