You can add this offer to your card in your Amex login or by tweeting #AmexBestBuy from a linked Twitter account. See How To Sign Up For Multiple American Express Sync Offers for more information.

The Fine Print

  • Valid through September 5, 2016
  • $250 can be spent in one transaction or combined between multiple transactions
  • Valid in-store or online at bestbuy.com
  • Not valid on e-gift card purchases (since these are processed by Cashstar)
  • Excludes Best Buy Express, Geek Squad services made outside of Best Buy, Best Buy Parts Store, Best Buy Private Store & Auction or at standalone Pacific Sales stores

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.

Does Best Buy allow split payments? Like 5*200 VGC split for 4 payments, with $250 each?

Chuck, when I tried a split payment a couple of days ago, their new POS (installed with chip readers) seemed specifically programed to only allow one credit card to be used when buying gift cards. At least that is what happened when the cashier tried to do a standard split payment a couple of times, and it also occurred when a Manager tried to do it. Has anybody else come across this?

Sent tweet to Amex to add BB offer to my SPG Biz card but never got the offer. Not sure if I am doing something wrong?

It was there a few months ago, you would have had to add it. I’m sure they already filled the quota and pulled the offer.

I see ebay gift cards, but only available for in store pickup. Can anyone see ebay gift cards shipped?

I bought eBay gift cards via online (3x $50 as that was the maximum I was allowed to purchase via online). I had them shipped about a month ago. Since then I have tried to buy more of them online but have since only had store pick up as an option instead of mail delivery. Not sure if it’s a supply issue or if it’s intentionally no longer available online
