Best Buy Bad Luck

I am a member of the Best Buy Gamer Zone Club (its free) and it gives you discounts on games and coupons, etc... Well, in addition to these things, if you have a reward zone membership (you know... you spend money and get gift certificates), for every $150 in gaming murchandise you buy, you get $10 gift certificate for Best Buy. The last time I was in there, I thought for sure I'd easily hit that mark and get my reward. Talk about bad luck. I came so close. Look how much I have to spend in gaming to earn my gift certificate:

I have to spend 1 more dollar to get my reward. Unfortunately for me, gaming murchandise costs way more than a dollar. I was so close.

On the other hand, not the Game Zone Reward but the regular Reward Zone... I have 248 points from random stuff I've bought in there. 250 points gets you a $5 gift certificate.

Here's my plan: I'm going to Pre-Order Assassin's Creed II, get my Reward Zone points (and the game of course... YES!!!), and then print off my $5 Reward Zone certificate and then (after this one dollar), my $10 Gamer Zone Reward certificate. So, with my whopping $15 at Best Buy, I'm going to pick up the Strategy Guide for this game.

If you've ever played Assassin's Creed before and want to get all the "flags" and stuff... you know why I want this guide.

So, by buying the game from Best Buy, I can almost get the guide for free with it (about 5 bucks or so). It normally costs $20.

Whew! All that for a lousy conversation on a discounted strategy guide. And you read it... ha ha... SUCK--ER!!!

Nah... the real reason I even originally started this particular blog was to complain about my 1 dollar set back from my gift certificate, but as usual, I lead into other things.
