my total is at 54 $25 Kindle gift cards from Best Buy. (also showing $22.50 on the Best Buy receipt)
The Best Buy cashier and customer service rep hate me now... they had to adjust price when I bought new
cards, and also when I brought back receipt from last month to do the price match for 20+ gift cards. They
had to process each card individually.

Quote from Peregrine : Yes was able to get it in San Diego today. They only had the $25 GC, and had to get more from the back. I just brought in a copy of the add and the manager said 10% discount wasn't a problem.

Mission valley right?

I might wait until they get $50 cards in stock then b/c I also have the amex deal I want to use so i'd need to buy 4 $50 and 1 $25 since they have the limit of 5 cards in a single transaction.

Or I could try buying a best buy gc for 200 and then buying the $25 kindle cards, that might put them over the top though haha

Did BB require having the actual TRU add, or could I print out a copy (http://slickdeals.net/f/5611630-T...-Scan-PDF?) .. My TRU didn't have any ads left!

Tough call. I think most people carried the ad with them into the store... I know I did. They let me keep the ad afterward also. Call your friends and ask if they still have a their Sunday paper lying around. You could also try giving a random bb (in another state/countyetc...) if you can just bring in a picture of the ad you took with your phone

The Best Buy in Boardman,Oh price matched the TRU ad after calling corporate and verifying ad.Cashier scanned each card then did an overide price match for $22.50 ea.9 Kindle cards for $202.50 and an AMEX email on my way out the door with the $20 Sync Best Buy promo.Receipt attached:

Quote from shah007 : Did anyone have luck with PM at BB in Northern VA?

Me and the wife tried at the Reston, VA store (we each have our own Amex with the $20 deal linked). One of the reps wouldn't take the screencap I had on my phone and made us pull it up on one of their deathly slow laptops in store so he could take a screen cap on HIS phone

After all that effort, the rep told me his manager said they don't price match gift cards.

I asked to speak with the manager and asked him to show me exactly where in their PM policy that gift cards are excluded.
Eventually he told me that it's the store manager's own discretion whether or not to honor the policy.

This struck me as odd, but he wouldn't budge. And said that even if they would do it, they would only do it for 1 "item" (not the 10x $50 I wanted).

I also mentioned that my "friend" told me that another BB in the area was honoring the deal, but all he could say is that he has no idea why they would do such a thing, and it's ultimately at the store manager's discretion.

So, I walked out at that point.

Was able to purchase 10 of the $25 Amazon at the BB on St. Charles Rock Road in St. Louis, MO area, they did the price match off the copy of the TRU ad I had gotten last night from the store. Manager of that dept gave his approval. Ever better had a $218 GC for BB, so $6.16 cash out of pocket when all was said and done.

Got 10 more $50 Amazon GC - from BB

The same exact thing hpnd to me in NJ.

Quote from kumastha : The same exact thing hpnd to me in NJ.

One thing I should have done was ask them to show me where in their policy it states that it's at the store's discretion. It's not written anywhere in their store policy leaflets.

To me he showed the policy that it is for products only. I asked him to show where it excludes GCs, he asked me to show where it shows it was included and the arguement continued. When he said manager's discretion, I asked him whether BB was one company or each store was one company, and wudnt that make it a discrimination, he tried to cover it up. But finally no use, just that I made him feel uncomfortable.

Quote from dederpes : ADVICE FOR ANYONE BEING DENIED AT BEST BUY: speak to the manager while infront of the customer service desk. at the service desk they have the PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE printed out on a big poster display for everyone to read. in this section they specifically list EXCLUSIONS, and they list like 20 things. none of the exclusions listed apply to the amazon gift card. after being denied by 2 managers i just by coincidence happen to be standing infront of the desk and brought up the listed exclusions. after 5 min of the manager staring at the guarantee and TRU ad, along with a little back and forth between the two of us, he eventually relented and gave me the PM

This is why BB is going bankrupt soon. They say 1 thing and do something else. They don't even follow their own policy.
