I go to Best Buy every Friday at lunch..

I am a silver reward zone member and I have a reward zone mastercard so i get 20 to 30$ of free stuff every month ( I get 2% back as Best Buy certificates on every restaurant bill for example, 1% on every other purchase, 5% on Best Buy purchases).

That deal is actually a lot better for me as I will get an additional 36$ back due to all of that so in total I will get 136$ back...( i get 12% back for every game I purchase at best Buy btw master card, silver membership and gamer club stuff) so that will put each game at 33$, hard to beat....( I will pay 60 and get 27$ back per game, I don't think you can get them cheaper anywhere on release day...)

I had considered switching to Amazon but the Amazon Visa isn't as great and you can't use the cash back on kindle purchases which are my main amazon purchases).

Yeah the silver stuff is pretty good, but you have to spend a ton to get that status, and buying expensive stuff elsewhere is just cheaper in the long run (that and I don't buy much expensive stuff).

I'm a member of the RewardZone Dining thing, and I eat out all the time, so you'd think I'd be making bank, but they can't seem to get any restaurants I go to on it.

Actually the silver stuff isn't expensive at all as it doesn't have to be Best Buy purchases.

Any purchase with the mastercard qualifies so I just have to charge 2500$ on my mastercard/year to make it and I usually make that in 5 months...

I pay all my food purchases with the card so even at 6$ a day for Jimmy Jones , Subway or Wendy's, it adds up...That alone is 200$/month that counts for silver and on which I get 2% back as reward zone cash.. Add a restaurant once in a while with the wife and it really adds up.

heck it can be groceries or gas, anything you want...

If I actually had a bigger credit limit on the card I would probably put every purchase I make on it but as it is I try to not spend more than 50% of the limit to help my credit score...( that and my other credit card has better cash rewards for non food/ non best buy related purchases).

That only works if you have the mastercard though....Otherwise it is Best Buy stores purchases only...

 

PS : heck if I felt like it I could make silver by paying my Amazon purchases with my Master Card...

I think this year I made silver in 5 months and I doubt I had spent more than 700$ at best Buy in those 5 months ( and only that much because I had to get a laptop for my step-daughter).

 

If you get the card it is really a good deal. It is a Mastercard so you have to pay around 50$ a year for it but I figure I get around 200$ back a year thanks to it so it is still worth it...( and every year the credit limit increases so I charge more to it and get more back)
