I fully expect many of these types of credits and offers to continue for many retailers that I continue to buy from. While the pandemic related credits (like the mobile phone plan credits, Best Buy, Home Depot, etc) probably won’t be renewed or repeated, I’m sure I’ll continue to get probably $200-$300 MORE value in addition to all the standard ones listed on the new / renewed benefits list.
