With the band chemistry in disrepair and no concert tour since the eighties Sting contacted his other two bandmates and got The Police reunion ball rolling. This turned into a Best Buy Reward Zone (BBRZ) members offer to be able to buy Police tickets early (must be a Best Buy Reward Zone member prior to 2/1/07 to be able to take advantage of this offer) through Ticketmaster.
This might be the best Reward Zone offer I’ve seen offered yet. These concerts are going to be sellouts, details:
Receipt of a Code does not guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets during the presale period. It simply gives you the opportunity to purchase two presale tickets.
As far as band reunions go, I’m looking more excited about a Van Halen reunion with David Lee Roth, but this is a nice perk for members.
I’ve written about the BBRZ a couple times before and received dozens of comments, predominantly negative, about the service. People saying they aren’t receiving their Best Buy reward coupons, bad customer experiences and worse. Even a post about an alleged class action lawsuit against them (not sure whether or not that’s true). I offer that as counter perspective to what we’ve experienced as customers.
We’ve had a positive experience overall with this program and received hundreds of dollars worth of coupons from well over one million Reward Zone points.
Costco Business Member “check”
We signed up for the black Costco Business Member card ($100) and have been accumulating 2% cash back on our purchases. Yesterday the check arrived and it was only good at Costco (something we weren’t told) and was $91. We went and did a little shopping last night and used that $91.
We also received $21 back from our recent shopping at Fred Meyer.
Why not sign up for Reward Clubs?
My feeling with these reward programs are why not sign up? Yeah, they will track what you’re buying but so what. I’m going to do these things anyway, so if we’re spending the money, why not get some money back?

[…] There are five main choices at the top of each page: home, concerts, forum, subscribe and about us. Along the right sidebar is a list of the top 20 concerts which is a nice way to see what’s hot at a glance. The Police reunion concert I wrote about recently was #3 on the list. Bob Seger and George Strait edging out The Police? Hmm. […]

If anyone does not want to use their reward zone account to buy tickets for themself, Barrys Tickets out of california is offering $50 cash(or $50 credit,your choice) for the code providing access to the presales. All you have to do is provide them with your phone #, zipcode, and Best Buy reward zone membership ID. Oh yeah, you also must have been a registered member of the reward zone program since before FEB 1, 2007. Just email shane AT barrystickets DOT com with your information and to find out more on how to collect your money. It\’s EZ money, I made $50 in 2 minutes and I wasn\’t going to go to the show anyhow.
