Studying...

 

Is there going to be a test?

The guy at the Sleep Number Store told us about a "rewards" program they have.  While you are automatically in their "Inner Circle" if you have previously bought a mattress from them, you can earn reward points if you read some of their info or watch some videos.  Propaganda?  Somewhat, but also useful information.  You may get 10 points for reading an article, or 20 points for watching a couple videos.  The sales guy told us some people accumulate enough points overnight to get some "free" stuff.

Two things of importance: there is no such thing as a free lunch... or stuff.  Their mattresses and accessories are not inexpensive, so I'm sure there is some built-in allowance for this kind of program.  Also, don't think the bonus points rewarded in this blog are redeemable in any way.  They have absolutely zero value, but they don't expire.  But, I digress.

Since Joan and I are both on the same account, we can't "double dip" by both reading the same article or watching the same video.  So, she read some and so did I.  Was it worth the time investment?  Well, we both learned about the mattresses and how to get the best sleep.  Oh, and we earned enough for her to order a bedspread and shams... and have enough left over to get one of their fancy schmancy pillows.

A lot has changed since we bought the previous Select Comfort mattresses.  Apparently, you don't just lay on them and sleep anymore.  You can check the app in the morning to see what your "quality of sleep" was for the night.  You just know that is going to turn into a competition,

But, not for a while - it is going to be a few weeks before they ship ours.
