Our Verdict
Could be a good deal for shoppers. Remember the Savings Code is promotional value only which can’t be resold and is only valid for a couple weeks, starting October 23.
You can use the gift cards and promotional codes to buy third party gift cards in a Best Buy store or even online.
Hat tip to Dannydealguru
It appears that you can earn My Best Buy points with this gift card purchase. There was a box to enter in my Best Buy ID number.
Hmm, interesting that Cashstar purchases earn Best Buy Points.
Actually BEst Buy’s Gift Card T&C explicitly states gift card purchases earn MBB points. So I guess they are trying to fulfill their T&C. Too bad they stopped counting the purchase towards their elite level qualification. They stopped it sometimes in August.
has anyone tried to purchase more than 3 with different ip and computer
Can the $15 be combined to make a purchase with the $150?
Yes, it will act like having two gift cards, I think. You can use multiple gift cards to make a purchase in store or online.
3x for Citi att access card?
Hmm, good question. Not sure if Cashstar works with ATT. Let us know if you try.
How reliable is cashstar with their promotion?
Waiting almost for a month for the promotion is a little risky.
I’d trust Cashstar, personally.
Data Point:
With the recent PayPal Digital Gifts deal on eBay deal like this, I was able to take the the 5 $10 and 5 $15 promotional certificates I received, and use in store to pay for one $150 Best Buy gift card
