I knew Buy had thrown in the towel, but I had no idea that they would jump on the Apple bandwagon so heavily. First, there are heavily discounted iPods, and now this: http://www.yub.com/

On Buy.com: "I am very pleased to announce Yub.com, our sister site and new loyalty program, which provides cash back rewards every time you shop at Yub.com. It's simple, create a free Yub profile, start shopping at Yub's virtual mall (which includes Buy.com, Sony, iTunes and more of America's top stores), and you'll earn 1% on all your purchases."

Wow.

I don't know which is worse: it took me a while to realize yub.com is buy.com backwards, or that buy.com just gave into itunes after all the crap they said. I wonder if they invented a sister site just to sell iTMS songs.

I think I may actually give Yub Club a try. It's cheap enough. Maybe I am just a sucker for Apple tie-ins.
