I got an email today from Best Buy.

It said “Congratulations on requalifying for Premier Silver status. We greatly appreciate your continued loyalty to Best Buy^®, and we’d like to say “thanks.” Your Reward Zone^® program Premier Silver status is good through February 28, 2011.”

It listed my points as below:

I thought to myself!  Sweet!  $660 in rewards is the equivalent to electronics heaven!!  I could buy so many things – FOR FREE!!  Man, I could really save up and get that super big HDTV!

So I go about my work and kinda forget about it.  As I sit at my computer relaxing after a long 11 hour day, I get another email from Best Buy.

It says: “A PREVIOUS EMAIL INCORRECTLY LISTED YOUR POINTS AND REWARD CERTIFICATES; CORRECTION BELOW.”

It listed my points as below:

Talk about a buzz kill!!  Going from $660 in free electronic goodies to a measly $5? How could this be?  I’ve dropped more than a few hundred dollars at Best Buy over the last 6 months and surely I’ve acquired more than $5 in rewards!

What’s the saying?  Easy come, easy go?  That is a stupid saying!
