I'm going to order a replacement card just so I can get the new card look

now we will just wait weeks for a card that's "on it's way"

mods i figured since it was a stock photo sent by best buy in the email it was ok.

if not let me know and i will remove it or you can too =)

now that I think about it I think my card expires this month (since its two years old) but I would assume they are doing this since capone took over.

edit: ACTUALLY since its only a store card. its not branded therefore according to the card has no expiration date....

are those scores current?

with no baddies im sure you would get it but it has no real perks.

if you dont get this you get stuck with an af card.

i still find it odd that the store card has more prestige then the credit card version.

besides its run by cap one now. ughh. 2 cards that were bought out by them for me.

i believe the mc card did get an upgraded look but that was a couple weeks ago.

this just apply's to the rewardzone store credit card

sorry.

copy and pasted

The Reward Zone® Credit Card is getting a new look and will be arriving in the mail soon. It offers all the same great benefits you've come to love, including smart financing options and points with every purchase at Best Buy® and BestBuy.com®. Enjoy.

The picture online changed but the plastic is still same design, at least as of last week when I got my replacement card. So was wondering, guess I just gotta wait for that official email for the new design. Looks much nicer.

BearsAndTurtlesRtheBest — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:08:18 GMT

so it will be sent to all best buy credit card holders right?

there was a thread last week or a couple weeks ago that the mc version also got a face lift.

BearsAndTurtlesRtheBest — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:15:19 GMT

I just read through the terms, it looks like they got rid of the AF on the MC. It may actually be a prime card now. They lowered the APR from a 25% to 18%, not bad for a store card with 36 month no interest financing.

BearsAndTurtlesRtheBest — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:17:49 GMT

Interesting may it did convert to a pime card

and thats 3 year finance on purchases 899 and up. and if not paid in full by promo all back interest gets tagged along.

even with a 2500 limit my apr is 25.24% ouch.
