Hat tip to reader JJ
is the best buy card like a mini Sears card?
I got the following offer: 11% back in rewards on a single purchase now through January 31, 2021. Shop the latest tech at Best Buy® with your My Best Buy® Credit Card and take advantage of this limited time offer. Activate this offer and get up to a $50 reward certificate on your purchase.
Yeah I got this too. Nice offer. It says no gift cards in the terms, but its hard to say that you won’t get points on it. Considering this is not an offer that you scan with a barcode in store, and it only checks the purchases made on your Credit card looking for the Best Buy ID, it would seem to me that you can just make a $455 purchase in store on whatever you want and you’ll get the $50.
I got both, the 11% and the spend $20 or more 5 times and get a $50 certificate.
There is also an offer for 10% back on monthly bills that would stack with the spend X outside of Best Buy offers. For those with the spend 500 get 25 or spend 500 get 50 it would equate to 15% or 20% respectively if you target the monthly bills spending. Of course this depends on how much you value Best Buy carts.
I was “blessed” with the $75/$1500 offer.
And I thought the $30/$600 offer was a high spending requirement…hah. $1500… they are nuts. $75 is only 5%. All my high spending comes from warehouse stores and Chase already has that at 5% this quarter.
$1500 @ 5% = $75 real cash with Chase
$1500 BB = $75 voucher that expires + $15 BB rewards from 1% outside spending.
I mean i guess if you find getting to BB Elite is hard you now have a $75 incentive to get it done.
I received an offer for $50 reward certificate and requirement is 5 purchases of $20 or more each outside of Best Buy. Subject was “[name] your winter escape can earn you a $50 reward.“
Lucky you. I received this offer only once maybe 3 years ago.
dont’ receive any yet
I got the $50 for $1000 offer.
Received a get $25 reward certificate when you spend $500 outside of Best Buy email instead of this.
That’s pretty high. I got “$25 reward certificate when you spend $20 5 times outside of Best Buy.”
ETA: I don’t use the card except for financing Best Buy purchases so maybe that’s why.
