My job is so slow today! So I was browsing my CC points and realized that there are two items I would love to get. I cannot make up my mind so I figured I would see what you would do.

I have enough points to get $40 (6000 pts) Best Buy gift card which I could use to purchase items for my laptop I'm getting or to go towards a digital camera. Or $50 (7000 pts) JC Penny's so that I can go shopping. But I'm not that into Penny's but need some new clothes!
 
I don't shop at JCP so I'd go for the BB card.
 
I have to say thats a tough one. Maybe go and look at Penny's and see if they have some cute clothes to help you decide. I just bought 2 shirts there the other day for 2.00 each.
 
I'm not a fan of JCP, so I would go with Best Buy. :)
 
By the way, I'm in your boat today.....SO SLOW around here & I'm SO BORED!! :indif:
 
Definetely would go for Best Buy, not a fan of JCP either.
 
I was just at JCP Monday night and found a lot of bargains. I have never been in BB so I can't say "Don't go there". I think it is about what you NEED versus what you WANT.

I was leaning more towards BB since I could just go to Gordman's and pick out some clothes.
 
I find a few things at JCP - I love that they carry Liz Claiborne, Jones, etc - I would browse there and if not then go for the best buy - I'm not a big electronic buyer so unless you have something in mind - go for what your most desired items are.

I am getting a lap top (Mac from the Apple Store) next week so I can buy accessories for it or it will go towards the purchase of a new digital camera.

Then I vote Best Buy!
 
I love love love my digital camera and I use it ALL the time so I say Best Buy!
 
I have to say JCP. I like buying their clothes because for me they do last & I can actually find clothes that fit me, my age & style.

I hate BB & refuse to ever step foot in one of their stores ever again. It's been almost a year since my incident with their warranty replacement (or lack thereof) and I vowed then to never ever ever go there. I haven't and I won't. Can you tell I feel strongly about that?? LOL!
 
Did you know you can get digi cams at JCP? I'm not sure what stuff you're looking for your laptop, though you might be able to get it there, too.
 
I think you would get more "bang for your buck" at JCP. I love their clearance! Most of their clothes hold up well, too...
 
I vote Best Buy!
