Laptop cooling stand? HDMI cable? Blanks cd's/dvd's? Something shiny? It's all up in the air at this point. I know that many of us feel like little kids in candy shops while walking around best buy so I come to you with this question: What would you buy with 20 dollars at best buy? Any and all suggestions are welcome.  | ||

Think of it as telling the genie that you wish for more wishes- it's the logical thing to do. | ||

I actually hadnt thought of this and it's pretty smart. The only thing is that if I get a gift certificate it would end up in some drawer somewhere and in a year I'd still be wondering what the hell I'd want to spend it on. Know what I mean? Good one though. | ||

It says I've earned 819 points and that my total rewards is $10 but I have never used it and I don't know how to. I want my 10 fucking dollars but they won't let me have it. When do they expire? I checked the website, 90 days. That is some bullshit | ||

First time I just got some movie with leftover money going to candy. old movie that you can get for 5$ at walmart or free on internet (even DVD ISO) 13$, plus x5 overpriced candy 7$. Second, same deal 20-25$ gift card. Ended up getting a power surge bar for 12$ (I think it was). Nothing special, just your average standard power bar. What a fucking rip off. Also, I didn't fucking need one as I had like 4 extra extention cords and power bars already. The rest of the money was probably spent on overpriced candy or some worthless shit too. Third, this time I actually needed something. TIVO cable, but they didn't have it. LOL, so I got an s-video cable for 22.95$ or something and the tax on it actually made it more than 25 so I ended up paying a few bucks out of pocket. Later I realized that I could use HDMI also and just needed an adapter (HDMi - DVI). So I went back and even the adapter was like 20$. keep in mind that these are 99 cents online. BEST BUY FUCKING BLOWS. + Show Spoiler + WORST BUY | ||

But they do have a camera lens I want for like $20 cheaper than camera stores, since those too are notorious for marking stuff up. If I still had my $10 gift card that would have been so money. But of course it has to expire since it's not really about saving money it's about enticing you to spend more frequently. | ||

Its like saying "Im too lazy to figure out what you need/want so I wasted money on this worthless card which you have to sell for less than I paid to be of any use. Enjoy son" so they basically gave me a chore imo. not that I don't appreciate gifts, but I have told them on numerous occasions that best buy sucks to never make me go to that store again. | ||

Everything else there is such a fucking ripoff. They sell hdmi cables for 80$+ when you can buy them for ~2$ online. fucking bullshit. more like 40 but yea On August 22 2009 00:18 Failsafe wrote: trade the use of your twenty best buy dollars to another customer who is actually purchasing something at best buy. then go somewhere else lol that might actually be easier than craigslist or ebay tbh, would be funny to the workers there to see some 'salesman' trying to peddle his gift card off to every person that is making a purchase though. | ||

If your BB has a copy, get Mount and Blade. Although I think that is down to like $9 or probably not stocked in any BB anymore. | ||
