Our Verdict
You’ll also earn Best Buy Rewards with the purchase if you input your Rewards number at checkout on Cashstar. You should be able to purchase a $300 gift card and get $30 in bonus codes, it’ll show in checkout if possible. Keep in mind the bonus codes can’t be resold, but good for personal use or also for reselling. Use your Ink Preferred card to earn 3x at Best Buy. (no longer works) You should be able to use PayPal and earn 5x via Chase Freedom.
Does anyone recall when the promo codes will be delivered? It doesn’t say in the original purchase email. Last time the promo codes were indicated as being delivered weeks later but showed up for many of us immediately.
As I mentioned above I saw (on another blog) they will arrive 5/29 and be valid until 6/11.
However for some reason it was unusually hard to find that info, hopefully it’s correct.
Thanks! I had that date in my head (seemingly strategically planned the day after a major holiday) and skimmed through the comments here yet clearly missed yours. Mostly it would help if they’d include that info in the confirmation email.
It would help. I don’t remember it being so mysterious in the past.
I bought 2 $100 GCs in separate transactions now I’m getting declined for the 3rd. Has this happened to anyone else?
When are the promo cards supposed to arrive? Not seeing that information anywhere.
I was wondering the same.
On another blog it said 5/29, valid until 6/11.
Not sure what to do with them now that you can’t buy gc with them.
CAREFUL!!! Reports started rolling in today from people who use this to purchase Disney cards that gift card to gift card is not working like before at some Best Buys. The computer system has denied some people trying to buy 3rd party gift cards (much to the confusion of employees since this has always worked before) but others are still having success. It might be just variable load cards being denied?… DPs are sparse right now.
Do Amex cards still earn MR on merchant gcs?
May be this will stack with the 10 dollar rebate on 100 dollar purchases :
Receive a $10 Best Buy Gift Card when you make a purchase totaling $100 or more from their Digital Weekly Ad.
Aside from buying third party GCs or using it for regular spend, what do people usually do with them?
Every reselling opportunity I see you would come negative, maybe I’m missing something?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you could use Best Buy gift cards and promo credits to buy 3rd party gift cards. They sell gas cards which are pretty useful.
Correct.
As far as the promo codes go, only if they have the gift cards you want in stock before the promo code expires. It can sometimes take many weeks before the Best Buys around here restock certain gift cards.
what would happen if you used your 10 dollar promo code online and then bestbuy cancelled the order? would your ten dollar promo code come back to the promo cert? thanks
BB would issue you a new code.
Yet the offer states: “The value of the savings code will not be refunded if merchandise is returned or an order is cancelled.” That looks like it means for any reason.
Also, my experience is that if you have an unused portion of a promo ($10) left over, they keep it.
In personal experience with these codes I’ve had the refund go back to the promo code for cancelled item. This was before promo code expiration. If the order was cancelled after promo code expiration expect no refund,
Nice to see this come back around. Last time readily consolidated the certificates (when they came) at BB store to purchase “regular” BB gift cards. (which can be resold)
Also, for this time, if using paypal at checkout, potential 5X CUR gain, if w/ Chase Freedom, no?
