Best Buy sending out new store card (design)

Repo-ed — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:53:00 GMT

Waste of company money?

I think the current store and branded card are some of the ugliest cards I've seen and precisely why I wouldn't whip it out to make a purchase outside of BB.

I do not think I will be using the replacement card as it, at least via the picture, will be any more appealing to the eye.

Anyone else get the email this morning? Anyone w/ the MC getting a new card design?

I have the store card and got the new card last week.

I received a snail mail letter from them last week to expect the new card but I haven't actually received the card yet. (I still have them bill me the old fashioned way (snail mail) but pay online...lol) I have a low limit on this card ($1100) so I don't plan to use it much either but it will be interesting to see what it looks like. I have no idea why they are changing the design unless they had to send out the cards anyway with the Cap 1 info on the card as part of their purchase agreement.

As an aside, I also received a separate letter about using the card to take advantage of different promo rates...

My email stated something about that as well.

I've been a card holder since '06 and haven't gotten a thing about it. Saw it on the forums last week, and asked at the store this weekend since I bough a new laptop. Sales Lady said they should be going out soon... Irked that I didn't even get an email or letter!

No new RZMC yet, but I like the new design much better. Has the customer service phone number changed on the card?

I have the store card and the customer service number in the back was the same on both cards. The new one also has the reward zone number on it as well.

I got my card today and love it. It is a really nice matte finish, the edges are the Best Buy yellow. It is a very nice card design, 150% nicer than the original.

I haven't used my Best Buy store card in over a year... probably closer to 2 years. (*feels ashamed*) Does anyone know if they likely closed my account? Maybe I should call? I don't know if they even have the most current address on file for me, as I moved in January

I just recently started using mine again. It had to have been 2-3 years between uses. Still was open, and no CLD as I had seen in some store cards I let go. However there was a gap in my reports where it stopped reporting at all... i assume for not being used. I'd say it's still working.

Which card? I was curious if the Gold RZMC looks the same. Did you also get the bonus offer?

I have the Gold BBRZMC that has the $59 AF. My cards look totally different. My old card had a shiny finish where my new one has a matte dark blue finish.

Got mine today. Pretty ugly, and looks indistinguishable from a phony card you might find in a junk-mail solicitation.

Did anyone find a higher credit limit upon activation?
