Just logged onto my new account at BestBuy's reward zone. I see that "Transactions aren't accessible until 30 days after they originally take place". 30 days?! I also see that you can not choose a user name or password--you are stuck with what they assign. Let's see, how far back does the comp sci literature go on the evils of not letting people choose strings they have half a chance of remembering? Oh yes--they have a separate 4-digit password for phone access.
