Got a flyer in the mail for a new BB opening tonight in Fairfax, VA. Supposed to be for reward zone members only. Included were coupons for double/triple points, 10% Off any Insignia brand item, and free Gift Card worth 10% of your purchase.

Anyone know if these events are worth going to? Any Black Friday-like pricing?

What it says is pretty much what is there...There was a 20% one item coupon given at the last one I went to BUT it was for the first 25 people in line.

The event seemed more geared to 'here is our new store' and 'this is what customers look like' than anything else.

If you have some time to burn, dress real preppy, and go from department to department auditioning the most expensive gear, asking all kinds of basic, random questions. Lead them to believe that you are going to buy the merchandise so they open the packaging, and then change your mind for some arbitrary reason (wrong color, etc).

If you really want to piss them off, having one of the blue shirts drag a bunch of stuff up to the front of the store, and then walk out just before reaching the register.

You can always crash the party with your own BB Improv.
