Our Verdict
This offer usually comes up twice per year, once in the summer and once at year’s end. It’s 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 split up a charge with up to 10 different credit cards in Best Buy stores.
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.
- Remember to Shopkick when you make Best Buy purchases
- Remember to go through a shopping portal for online purchases (might not work for gift cards)
- For MR-earning cards, enroll in the 2x points offer at Bestbuy.com for an added bonus there for online orders
There are a number of other new Amex Offers which we’ll post about soon. Just wanted to put this one in a dedicated post to give it its own discussion since it’s probably the most useful of them all.
