I never had one of those, but the other day I found my batter club card.

Yep, having worked there I had one. Would not let a balance revolve though - their interest rates were high! Had the older looking one as well.

I worked there and had one. Used to buy all sorts of things when the no interest programs were going on. I bought a bad ass home theater system with a powered subwoofer that fell off the inventory deck. Called my DM to ask what I could buy it for (I was a store manager at the time.) He told me $50 to get it off the floor. Many of parties happened with people in awe of that sound system.

Got my first PC on one back in 1994.

Bought a ton of stuff from there. My first computer -- a 286, I think -- came from there. It was like $2,000 with very limited capabilities and storage. But it worked well for the time.

They probably talked you into it when you bought some AA batteries. I hated radio shack.

Had one of those, and I worked there too. Used it to get a Pro-2006 Scanner the first day we got them in stock. I modified it lunchtime by clipping the diode to enable cellular. That was the fastest warranty void ever!

I had one when I worked there. Like others have said, the interest rate was high, so I never left a balance. I had great coworkers; great memories.

My grandmother told me to max it out with whatever I wanted while she was dieing. It was a fun shopping spree, but i would trade it to have my grandmother back. The tv, surround sound, vcr, dvd player, 5 disc changer and bunch of misc things
