Our Verdict
This offer comes out twice per year – once in July/August and once in November/December. What is unusual this time is that they changed the amount from the typical $25 off $250 to $20 off $199.
If you don’t have any ordinary purchases to make at Best Buy, you can also buy numerous gift cards at Best Buy store and online. Their online sales department is hard to deal with, but in-store you shouldn’t have a problem buying gift cards. Visa, eBay, Exxon, Shell, BP, Best Buy, iTunes, restaurants, and many more.
