Scanner420 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Checked and re-checked! GC is a rewards GC to be used when I want/need it. Didn't get anything special for a sale this weekend.
Heather_0617 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Do they only let people in that got an invite? That doesn't make sense, so do they not advertise on the items what the sale is for those invited? So how would we know? Does anyone know how this works?

That doesn't make sense, so do they not advertise on the items what the sale is for those invited? So how would we know? Does anyone know how this works? I think it's after the store closes, and only people with the invite are supposed to be let in. I don't know if you have to show the invite or if your rewards card will do because I have never gone. You do get extra reward card points when they have these sales.
Cinnamonhuskies Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 got an invite, but waiting for BF deals instead
jamieva Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 The email I think said you have to print out the email to be admitted. It's after the store is closed.
deelite Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 got an invite, but waiting for BF deals insteadSame here! BLACK FRIDAY...YEAH BABY!!! WOOT:2woot:
emptynest-2 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 You do have to print the invite and you are allowed 1 guest. My store closes at 8pm and then at 8:30 only the people with the invite and their 1 guest will be admitted inside the store.
tootsieroll23 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I got one for Ky. DD works there so we will probably skip it and wait until BF
sallyatwhere Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 If you sign into the reward zone, you can print an invite there. :)
lilac100 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I'll go but I doubt I buy anything. Go just to enter for the giftcards.
jmjj Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I just signed into my rewards zone account and the special event is not being held near my zip code. They didn't list what cities are having this event. I got "uninvited" because I live in the wrong zip code.
lilac100 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I plan on going. I've got some video games I need that I don't think would be on sale BF so I might as well bite the bullet and get a couple of them.
racerfan Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I just printed and invite and I have convinced Dh to go. Maybe we will win something you never know.
christmasangel Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 DH and I are going tonight. I have my emailed printed out and waiting by the front door! We are moving and need to buy a fridge, stove and Micro/hood so we might as well go and get the extra Reward Zone points :)

beccasbank Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I am not planning on attending mine, even though I got an invite. I haven't printed off my invitation yet. Does anyone know if we can somehow give these away to others in our area by email? If anyone wants mine, I live in the Flint, MI area and my certificate is good for Flint, Saginaw and Midland. PM me and I'll try to send it to you via email.
Heather_0617 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 YAY!! I won a $50 GC! and I got the free charger, Wii and some newer games. No Wii fit, they didn't have any that they could sell (holding 5 for Sunday Ad). Not a bad night!
racerfan Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I went. They had someone going around offering drinks, and snacks. I did not win one of the gc:( I did find out that the price of The Police blu ray I ordered online this morning is incorrect. I paid $34.99/w free shipping and it is $5.00 cheaper. They had the DVDs and the regular cds out but no blu rays. The guy helping me could not understand why. Of course I had to point out that they are not actually supposed to be on sale until Tuesday. The cashier also offered me the new Hancock blu ray that comes out on 11/20. DH was there so I could not buy it since he does not know he is getting a bu ray for Xmas:D I got to actually see the Toshiba laptop for $499 that I ordered this morning also. I would have waited until I went tonight but I was afraid they would be sold out. It was a nice laptop and will be perfect for DD10 and should last her for several years (I hope) Everyone was very nice and it was not very crowded.
loves30 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 ok hung out all night did not win a gc.. waaaaaaaaaa .. i was # 50 to get the charger for free. got it. they gave out 5 gc and well two were not claimed as the people must have left. i walked out side saw a pile of tickets so i looked to see if they were the winners nope. i did not go for any sale just the points ipod touch paid 83.00 car stero with speakers for my sons 1st car cd player and can plug the ipd in 99.99 kung fu twin pack 15.99 kung fu ds game. 19.99 so not to bad. i had coupons and gift cards that is why it was so cheep. now they were giving out wii work out tickets to get it. they had alot of wii systems like i said tho i was not really looking for anything just the ipod the rest were last min things lol
beccasbank Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 My dh won a gc!!! He didn't even want to go. I offered to give my invite to someone if they wanted it, but no takers, so we went. We didn't get the free charger, but ended up getting a Wii Fit $89.99, an HDMI DVD player $59.99, the HDMI cables to go with it were $84.99 (I about died!!), but the sales man sold them to us for $49.99 since we bought 2, and we signed up with our local cable company to get an HD digital box and we got a $50.00 rebate for doing it at BB. So all in all, not a bad trip. Oh, I also bought ink for my printer and I used to be able to get free paper up to $9.99 for using my rewards card, but the people in the ink dept said this is no longer going on. I took the paper with me to the register anyways and asked the girl ringing us up and she said she wasn't sure, so she gave it to me free!! My dh was amazed. Sometimes I think he just floats through life without paying attention!! LOL

LOLI would seriously consider returning the HDMI cables, you can get them online for $5 dollars from site slike monoprice dot com, and because HDMI is digital you cannot really have good or bad quality. Cables at BestBuy and such are very overpriced, with markups of 700% not uncommon. When I worked there, the discount was what BestBuy paid for the item + 5%...$100 monster cables were under $10 on discount.
Tara3117 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I went last night too. Didn't win a gift card or get a charger. I was disappointed with the event though. I couldn't figure out what was better about buying it last night as opposed to, say, today? Yeah, it was nice that the store wasn't crowded and people were available to answer questions. We didn't buy anything. I had high hopes for that event but I'm not sure it brought in the revenues the store was hoping for.

I bought a 6 foot cable last week on line for $4. The cable are all manufactrued to standards. Its crazy to buy a Monster brand for example when a generic is just fine.
wnielsen1 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 As in prior years, I saved a couple of hours by not going again this year.
highlandertn Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Does anyone have any of the 10% off coupons that used to come in the movers guide? I'm planning on getting a TV in the next 60 days and I can't find one anywhere
First Lady Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 an HDMI DVD player $59.99, the HDMI cables to go with it were $84.99 (I about died!!), but the sales man sold them to us for $49.99 since we bought 2,Like the others have said, return them!! Heck I think Walmart sells them much cheaper. The cables are the way BB makes money! I had a friend work there and (like other posters said) their markup is HUGE!! Buy them online for every cheaper! My DH works for the cable company and we got the cheapy cables online (don't remember the sites but I can check with him) and they are just fine! He tells everyone not to buy them from BB, not any better.
civiclover88 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 My sister works at Best Buy ( no info on BF, by the way) and with her discount (which is something like 10% above cost....don't quote me) she paid like 7 dollars for a 40 dollar cable.....THE MARK-UP ON CABLES IS HUGE
jamieva Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Take the HDMI cables back you got ripped on that one.
