Before Amazon caught my eye, I found enjoyment in visiting brick-and-mortar technology retailers to check out new and exciting products. One retailer I visited more than others was Best Buy. Around that time, I was asked if I would be interested in signing up for a Best Buy rewards card during the checkout process. Hearing that every single purchase I made at Best Buy would go towards points that led to financial rewards got my attention, and I signed up immediately.
I was excited.
