Puzzling. It didn’t work for me yet.
I added the offer to my Amex blue cash preferred card. Then a few days later purchased in-store a $200 Amazon GC and a $50 Home Depot GC.
$250 transaction at Best Buy physical store on 12/21. This morning on 12/30 the offer is obviously expired 4 days ago but nothing related to this redeemed offer under savings.
I’d call but the terms state, what 2 statements for credit? Not valid on gift cards? Instant cancellation and jail time if somebody at AMEX thinks you’re gaming the system? GCs for merchants I will be purchasing from anyway over the next couple of months. (Although 5% back from Chase @ Amazon would have been better than buying at face value)
Sometimes it takes some time. I don’t think that buying the gift cards excluded you. As long as your total was 250 or more by the expiration date, it should work.
Update – It did post what felt like forever. Purchase on 12/21. Nothing to reflect usage. Then *bam* on 1/10 a $25 credit and an entry in the savings tab.
Bought 250 Delta GC with 25 BBY GC free earlier this week; no credit posted yet and no email about offer being used.
Check under the savings tab on the desktop or under the added section on the app. Sometimes it shows there a day or two before the credit actually posts. Emails are hit or miss.
Yep, the offer itself shows as unused so far. Fingers crossed.
When did you make a purchase? I did 2 on 2 different accounts on 12/22. One already got the credit (including email) the other has no movement (nothing under savings, offer still shows as expiring today). Also bought Delta GC at BB.
I bought on 12/12
Yes, P1 and P2
Hi did you buy physical GC or EGC? I bought EGC on Dec 25 and so far no credit 🙁
Just got this for the first time today.
+1 on 2 cards. Very short exp date of 12/26.
Excludes gift cards.
If I buy a 3rd party giftcard like for disney, will this trigger the offer?
I did a 200 amazon eGC and a 50 disney eGC and I got the email from Amex a few hours later. I also went through RMN for hopefully another 4% cashback which is not yet pending but usually takes about a day to show up.
$25 credit posted today. So yes it works on 3rd party GCs for sure.
The iPad 9th generation is 249.99. If I go to the store and buy the iPad with Amazon card. Would that trigger the 25?
First, you’d want to pay with the Amex card 😉
But as long as the charge is over $250 (assuming tax), it would trigger the $25 offer.
So a gift card in store would trigger it.
It has for me. Amex doesn’t know what you’re buying.
Yes, it does trigger it. BB CC sends offers as well (if you use their cc). Although, buying an iPad with a g. card would leave not protection on that iPad.. assuming you’d keep it rather than sell it for profit..
Saw this on the Amex app this morning, when I got home 2hr later, it disappeared.
Yeah, those enrollment limited offers have to be added right away. They seem to go faster and faster.
Anyone have any DP on third party egift (or physical for delivery) cards from bestbuy.com?
Should work as long as it’s done through best buy’s normal checkout. AFAIK the only thing that would cause an issue is if you buy Best Buy digital gift card , since that goes through cash star checkout.
Zilch, bummer
My offer says gift cards excluded.
Thank you DOC. Got it one 2 cards.
