Our Verdict
Keep in mind issues with AmEx offers regarding same names. This deal is great as Best Buy sell numerous gift cards making 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.
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. Other ways to stack:
- Remember to go through a shopping portal for online purchases (might not work for gift cards)
- Get up to 2.5% back in Best Buy Rewards on your purchases, even gift card purchases

What can you do with the AT&T WIRELESS FOR BUSINESS $200 back on $200 spend offer?
Just realized this expires in a week. Have the offer on 4 cards. Any chance of Amex clawing back like they did with Staples?
FWIW, Amazon GC’s are back in Bestbuy. Max is $200 denomination. Good way to get 10% if u have the offer across multiple cards.
6/10
Never targeted for these. I even added all the offers and used old interface. i think it’s bc one of my other cards has a earn 1 extra point at best buy still sitting out there, but who actually know
Me too. 0/11 but have the 2x offer on almost all cards.
Went to Best Buy today to buy $50 Shell cards and they had a limit of two gift cards per purchase. Last time I went the limit was $200, and not long ago there was no limit. But online I can buy three at a time.
I saw this offer on my Business Platinum this morning but did not add it. Went back to add it just now and it’s gone. I’m wondering if they already reached the max number of people.
Yup, same here. We were too slow.
same here
I can confirm the below discussion not just today but for the past 2-3 week: Offers added by one person weather AU or main account only appears once per person ( I think they limit by once per SSN) now. Even if this person is AU on a totally different Amex account all with different logins, then it will not show up since it was added by that person already elsewhere.
Now to hunt for VGC or combine ebay+Shell+restaurant GC card purchases if/when they have Shell GC deals at BB.
How often do they have Shell gc deals? Is in this in-store or online?
The good part about this promo is that it works on multiple purchases so I can buy a smaller denomination of Shell now with no discount and wait for a promo that you mentioned to buy more.
I joined the party only last year when they offered Shell GC BOGO 50% off one time maybe in October or November….it was here on DOC and that is how I found it. Its not so easy to find out since it does not appear to be well advertised and also deal sites don’t post it as prominently as other deals.
While that would be a good deal I doubt they would offer that when an Amex Offer is going on. What do you think?
I do vaguely remember that deal being posted on DoC. Wasn’t it for a few different brands including Shell?
I didn’t pay much attention as I didn’t participate in it.
Damn wish i read here before adding. Missed out on 5 accounts
