Our Verdict

This offer isn’t (yet?) available via Twitter, it’s showing on many cards in the login. Personally, my cash cards got this offer, but none of my points cards got it.

This is from the more useful Amex Offers since Best Buy stores, and even bestbuy.com, sell numerous gift cards which make it easier to maximize the offer. Check out this comprehensive post Everything you ever wanted to know about Buying Gift Cards at Best Buy to learn more about which gift cards to buy at Best Buy in-store or online. Options include $200 Visa gift cards for $205.95, eBay gift cards, gas gift cards, restaurant gift cards, and more. The options are slimmer online, but they do now have eBay and dining gift cards (Starbucks, etc.) online. You can also buy Best Buy physical gift cards to trigger the offer (single $250 Best Buy gift card can be found here).

You can split up a charge with up to 10 different credit cards in Best Buy stores. Online you’re limited to using one card per order.

There aren’t any easy resell ideas here, but still useful for regular use at 10% off + points. And of course it could be useful for buying electronics too. Best Buy will usually match competitors prices so you can get a really good deal by adding this 10% off.
