BestBuy.com (aff) now offers an online mall for its RewardZone members, to give them another way to earn points to their account. Located here (you may need to be logged into your RewardZone account to access the page), it offers over 500 merchants and generally pays 1 to 3 points per dollar for each purchase.
To introduce RZ members to the service, Best Buy is offering 250 points (worth a $5 Best Buy GC) to each member who makes their first $50 purchase through their online mall by August 30th.
For comparison’s sake: 1 point per dollar = 2%; 2 points per dollar = 4%; 3 points per dollar = 6%.
In looking at the merchants and the rates offered by the RZ Online Mall, nothing jumped out at me as being a particularly good deal compared to what other rewards programs offer you for shopping…and most of them offer more than one option (Best Buy GCs) for cashing out. So I give this online mall a big “Ho-hum.”
RewardZone is free to join. You can sign up in-store, or at MyRewardZone.com.
