In-Store Pick Up at Best Buy Locations Nationwide
American Express (NYSE:AXP) and Best Buy today announce the
launch of a new e-commerce technology integration that enables U.S.
Card Members enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program to
seamlessly use their points for online purchases on BestBuy.com.
Starting today, Card Members can use their Membership Rewards
points for all or part of each online purchase and either pick it
up in one of Best Buy’s stores or have it delivered to their
door.
“Our Card Members love shopping at Best Buy and we wanted to
provide them with more value, choice and flexibility each time they
check out,” said Leslie Berland, executive vice president, Global
Brand, Marketing & Digital Partnerships at American Express.
“We worked closely with Best Buy to integrate this seamless
experience that further enhances the utility of our world-class
Membership Rewards program in a powerful, new way.”
“In our stores and online at BestBuy.com, our customers expect
choice and flexibility from us on how they pay for and receive the
consumer electronics they want,” said Mary Lou Kelley, president of
e-commerce at Best Buy. “We are excited to partner with American
Express and allow Card Members the ability to convert their
Membership Rewards points into the latest and greatest consumer
electronics products and services.”
