I hate shopping at the Bandai Store, buuuut they do have a cool reward program. You are given 1 point (B Point) for every dollar spent and can redeem these (starting at 20 B Points) towards purchases. Every 20 points is $1 credit. Sounds kinda cheap eh? It is (lol) but consider this...with all these Aniplex titles coming up in the next two months (R.O.D, Drrr!!, and KnK) you can get yourself a pretty mean credit credit going on. $600 in Aniplex titles = $30 in B Points. That's pretty much a free DVD right there. Just giving all you big spenders a heads up! Wink

The program is essentially 5% of your purchase back (minus shipping and tax). However, I find it really hard to take advantage of the program with all these super expensive Blu-ray sets coming up in a couple of months. You have to pay upfront and wait a bit before the points are applied to your account. But, at least you are getting something back in the long run.

Also, keep this in mind.

Ohh yeahhh forgot about the expiration. If your gonna spend those Aniplex megabucks might as well get something back for it (other than a fat credit card statement lol) You could essentially get a free copy for 5 Centimeters Per Second or it could almost cover the cost for the second part of Drrr!!. Kinda wish TSRI had a free program like that. I fu*king hate Bandai Store.
