I have the buzz club card and it sucks!!!
I have shopped there and purchased numerous items costing over 20.00 and every time i look at the receipt it says:
You made no qualifying purchases this time.
I went to the csm about it and said what exactly is a qualifying purchase?The
reply was: I am not sure.I think you just have to purchase 20.00 or more per shopping trip.I replied : i should have earned my 20% off by now since i have spent over 100.00 all together!!
I think it is a complete rip off.The only good thing you get is a reusable shopping bag when you sign up and every now and then you get to print a 20% off IP.

Hmm.. I didn't get a free reusable bag when I signed up.

Ouch, I should check my receipts.

Hey,
I did not mean to get you upset in any way.
I just wanted you to know and everyone else that has used this program that it is not really a deal.
I don't know what specific items you have to purchase in order to get the discount but it just seems unfair to me.
