    Christmas special in the store?

    Any chance of a holiday special on store items? Perhaps 10% off on an ipad2 for anyone that joined in August 2007?


    Also, why are the prices on some items so goofy?
    Black nike golf shirt 464 points
    Blue nike golf shirt 1500 points

    $100 v.i.s.a. gift card (which can be used at Ruth's chris OR anywhere else) 2406 points
    $100 Ruth's chris gift card (which can ONLY be used at Ruth's chris) 4445 points

    nintendo 3ds (retails for 170) 5469 pts
    ps3 (retails for 250) 5273 pts

    You'd be surprised how bad some people's math are and how so many people lack common sense.. It's a winning proposition for SBR trust me..

    People are so stupid when it comes to making decisions on math like that

    The blue SBR polo is more expensive as it's a high quality Nike Golf shirt. It's one of the most expensive Nike shirts we've ever had. I guess we could have gotten a no-name brand that would shrink after being washed instead.

    Stay tuned for Christmas specials.

    mike u are forgetting that some of the prices that u see as inaccurate or more expensive arent necessarily because they are priced wrong.. its more because sbr was giving a special deal already on some items.. hence why u cant take the price of pizzas pt per dollar and compare it with anything else

    thanks sbr if u are gonna have some christmas specials I will wait n see as well

    that is true with one item on my list, the black nike shirt. yes the pizzas are cheap, but i don't like the egift card process. and without freeplays/sportsbook cash it's probably best to just buy target gift cards unless you want the one major item at a discount - the ipad2.

    every item other than pizza/ipad would cost way more than the cash equivalent (.07/point)

    yeah i think i made this thread because my son wanted a nintendo ds last year, and i had a ton of points. but the pricing was so goofy on it i was much better off getting target gift cards and just buying it that way.

    Yeah everytime I think of getting a Ps3 or 3ds or something of use, I realize they have it priced like when it first launched. The 3ds was 250+ Taxes (Closer to $300) at launch. I just bought a 3ds XL for $159.

    Speaking of wishful thinking, will we ever see the Ipad Mini in the store? A PS Vita? A Wii U? Or perhaps even a Mac Mini since we have all the other Apple stuff.

    Some of the pricing makes no sense at all. Maybe they could do a better job of pricing in the future. It makes sense if it is a discount to move the items which is possible here also. They don't want stuff to sit around a long time.

    SBR is watching whoever is browsing the SBR store closely. You go there this time of year, you're going to get doom-switched to hell and back

    funny thing is that if people were semi resourceful there is only ONE thing people should be buying from the store

    ive wasted the majority of my points in the casino so theres that too

    Can't we get other stuff(s) in the SBR Store? Those items in the store is out-dated for our generation

    I think it depends on the item. Those shirts are probably bought ahead of time and maybe electronic items are bought ahead of time possibly.
