Yeah, its being glitchy now, it goes through sometimes but sometimes it doesn't, weird.

well you have about 23 hours to get your points, so I'm sure all will be fine sooner or later

gregcool 02-05-2013 08:57 PM

They may be tightening the security, but who knows. But I was able to get in consistently using Firefox:
Basically, when I logged in, I would get "red facebook error message". I just hit the back button once and it loaded the login for RZ.

yep... still error..
but as mentioned... we have time... it may sort itself.. >)

jcp42877 02-05-2013 10:27 PM

I hate when these things go all glitchy because it ****s up my whole routine of doing the poll.

I normally do it every night around 11:30 when I get home from work, then 24 hrs have usually passed by the time the next days poll is up.

Now it's all jacked up and It'll probably end up working for me mid afternoon tomorrow and then if I try to do the new poll tomorrow night, "0" points...

:(

RavenSEAL 02-05-2013 10:34 PM

did anyone else have their points taken away??!!!? after completing yesterday's poll, i had 100.

i havent done this new cell phone poll yet, but it shows im at 22 points!

It's been very odd today. I shopped there and it hasn't even shown up (as points pending) in my accout yet. Or showed that I shopped there.

And the FB poll kept giving me an error until just now.

t_s 02-06-2013 12:28 AM

my 175 points disappeared! anyone has the same thing happens?

edgeh2o 02-06-2013 12:29 AM

Yeah weird. I had 218 earlier today, took the polls tonight for 268. After I took the second poll, I went back and it said 243. I went to the rewardzone website and checked there, and it says 218, but shows I took both polls successfully. Either way, I received an email for my $5 certificate, so it appears to have worked, somewhere. . .

And for the past hour, it gives me error on Facebook.

Guess some noobish web app programmers messed up their codes.

If iPhone was an option, it would have 80% votes
Got 25 points on both accounts...

kasty 02-06-2013 01:19 AM

interesting, history is back up. main site also says now you can redeem rewards just by asking the cashier to apply them, instead of paper certs or from mobile.

Same here. History came back. But I guess some people just wasted today's poll (including me).

When I was at BB a few weeks ago, the cashier told the guy ahead of me that he had $15 in RZ points and could use them towards his purchase if he wanted. He asked what RZ was and then declined. :lol:

wjp35 02-06-2013 02:39 AM

Took the poll and everything went well, +25 more points. Thanks OP.

mundane24 02-06-2013 02:40 AM

used the link in the op, allowed the best buy apps on my fb, viewed by me only (hopefully that wont be a problem), took the poll (chose s3), and got 25 pts added. thanks!

first time doing this. i guess ive missed on some. used firefox btw.

CubanMustGo 02-06-2013 05:38 AM

Everybody should just mess with BB's minds and choose the Blackberry.

50 more points, thanks OP & repped.

I can verify that this goes back to around the ipad mini launch time frame and when I went to buy black ops 2 video game they told me I had so many points that I could redeem for cash credit, welcomed update IMO, of course New Orleans could have simply been early on the rollout or one of a number of test markets or something if this hasn't been the case for others as of late. They're obviously still working on it though because one thing irked me, I was there at 1 am so it was a very lax environment and I was the last customer and the guy had to walk from the register to the cell phone area to utilize their computers to get my rewards for some reason and he told me if I wanted to buy a pack of gum or a drink 1st that it would give me enough for another credit, I was literally 1 point short, so we did that and he's looking :confused: and says look I'm sorry It's not applying your rewards right away they told us it was near immediate now but it's not updating, anyway I didn't sweat it but just thought I'd share that experience.

jonhern 02-06-2013 07:08 AM

This is odd. I just started taking these after the Superbowl, I did that one once and the last two twice. On Facebook the points never went up until the last one I just took, kept saying 0 points ans underneath that saying I had $10 in rewards available, those were from purchases back in December. Anyway they do show up in the rewardzone site but even there it says 0 points but in history it shows all the 25 points added. And then after the last one now it says I have 16 points.

red_devil32 02-06-2013 07:14 AM

my points still havent showed up :(

Outrager 02-06-2013 11:21 AM

This is the first time I haven't received points and I was just 15 away from another $5.
I wonder if it has to do with me doing it through my iPad's Chrome browser instead of my PC.

marswearsgucci 02-06-2013 12:12 PM

Getting 0 on this point probably has something to do with this:

Between 2/3 and 2/23, new transactions will take longer to appear in your account. This is part of year-end account and system maintenance. During this time, you may still issue certificates if you have enough points available. No new transactions and/or points will be reflected in your account until after 2/23.

i was wondering though, i used the same computer to log on/off different facebook accounts to do the same daily polls. i did my poll and then girlfriend's poll. maybe best buy somehow recognizes its from the same computer and takes the points away??? because they think im cheating?

has anyone had any problems doing the polls on different accounts on THE SAME PC???

I see that too on mine. That makes no sense for me since my points were earned this year through this Facebook thing.

dledtm 02-06-2013 02:32 PM

this is bullshit.. i just lost 175 points

saintjo 02-06-2013 02:37 PM

The facebook screen always says i got 0 points.
When I log into my rewardzone page though it shows the points in my transaction list.

JackD121 02-06-2013 02:46 PM

For everyone who sees points being removed, may i please know if you guys were using fake accounts or real ones?

caminitoaa 02-06-2013 02:59 PM

you guys are screwed. im smarter and i issued my certificate yesterday when i smelled something fishy about best buy. either way, 25 free bucks is good. thanks best buy and hope to do business with you similar to this deal again.

are those your points from thre previous "PURCHASE" last year?

My points expired! "Annual Point Expiration. See Program Rules."
Thanks anyway.

xBabax 02-06-2013 03:21 PM

Wow 14 points away from 250 and the points from the poll today havent applied. I did it this morning and it shows on the list but not on my main total so i cant issue the $5

Mirage2000 02-06-2013 03:47 PM

Just checked my RZ account activity, last year they voided my 99 pts on 2/3 as annual adjustment. This year so far pts not adjusted, playing poll for a while. I would suggest to get the certificate as soon it reaches 250. Or we can write them at least pts earned during last week shouldn't be adjusted as if someone make a purchase of less than 250, 1st week of feb, according to their policy it will never be rewarded wd points

Same here, got up to 250 today, but it's just sitting in the account not updating the amount on the reward zone website. Funnily enough when doing the polls it does show the 250 points after I hit the submit button :/

Strippa 02-06-2013 05:34 PM

Had points 132 points taken away randomly.........just called Best Buy and was credited back 250 RZ points. My "expired" points were not from purchases last year as I didn't buy anything from Best Buy last year. All points I have are from these FB polls. If anyone had points taken away unjustifiably, call Best Buy and tell them you want the points back.

NFS4 02-06-2013 05:40 PM

Can reward zone points be used to buy BB gift cards? I think I'll just cash out to avoid any hassles.

i did live chat with customer service. the CSR said the daily poll was not legitimate and not part of best buy's reward zone program. needless to say, that got me no where. what phone number did you call?

I called the customer service line (1-888-237-8289). Say "Reward Zone" then speak with operator to get a live person.

Personally, if the CSR would have told me the daily poll was not legitimate and not part of BB's RZ program I would have asked if the $5 RZ gift certificates I've earned from these polls have a lesser value than $5 RZ gift certificates I could've earned from an in-store or online purchase.....after their acknowledgement they are they same then I'd ask for my points back.

So last night my points disappeared and then I did the poll and had a total of 25 points. Then a few hours later my original 235 points came back but the 25 points from the poll were gone. I just called using the number above and the guy was super nice when I told him I was missing 25 points, the 235 annual thing was wrong since my points were earned in the last 2 weeks, and about the points randomly coming back minus the 25 and he said he would do a one time adjustment for me of 350 points just to give me a little extra.

thanks! i just got off the phone with best buy. the CSR argued with me a little, but ended up crediting me 375 points! i was only missing 125. he said its a one time adjustment and gave me extra! it hasnt shown on the account just yet though

Why do you get more than me?! :(
Maybe he felt guilty for arguing with you so he gave you more while my guy was super nice about it so he didn't feel the need to give me the extra 25.

Since the new points didn't get added yet, I wonder what would happened if I do today's poll. Do the extra points he gave me stack or is it a straight replacement?
