My next stop was the electronics department. After my purchases today, I have 75,000 points and I was hoping to get a Nintendo DS for my son for his birthday. They had some in stock, but my husband is working Saturday morning and I would have to bring three young children by myself at 8am if I want to be sure to get one. So, I asked if I could buy it with my credit card today, return it Saturday and use my points to buy it again on Saturday. The head cashier told me this shouldn't be a problem. I'm very excited - hopefully I'll get $200 back on Saturday and still keep the DS!
Has anyone else tried something like this with success before?
