jwa2000's review: 
Okay, so the other day I posted that I am rebuilding my credit after a recent BK, and I had just received my hooters M/C. In that post, I said I had also been approved for a Best Buy store card, which I thought was great!
Well, today the envelope came, and to my surprise, I didn't get a Best Buy store card as I was told, but I actually had a sparkling new Best Buy Rewards Zone M/C! Credit limit of $500, APR of 18%, with annual fee of $39. Looks to be a great card. Anyone else have any experiences with them? I was also wondering, I am already a member of the Best Buy Rewards Program, so will I be able to transfer the points I already have to the points I get on this card? I didn't know if Best Buy automatically combined the two, or if they even had that ability.
Anyway, very happy and pleasantly surprised.

Good card but it's a really good card for someone building/rebuilding their credit. I have this card too and my limit is at $1k. My APR for purchases is 19.24%
I don't really use this card because the rewards don't really impress me and they're really slow when it comes to reporting your monthly info to the credit bureaus. I'm sure you'll like this card though.

Way to go buddie! You could asked for nothing better to happen. I have heard that story once in here before, but I am not for sure which card it was. Keep us updated with the over useage of the card.

It is so weird because I applied for a Best Buy store credit card and received this one instead. No BK's here, just college kid credit history...
Any approval is pleasing!
