TRU discount on Amazon, Google, Playstation, NIntendo cards

great deal. just saved a ton of cash.

Thanks and repped...worked great for me. Needed to load Amazon with $450, picked up 9 cards and applied my $55 in RZ certs and I am done for $350.

Thanks OP! Got $500 worth of Amazon Kindle cards for $450 at TRU...

My Best Buy in Lancaster, PA price-matched without any problems. I went up to Customer Service and got it done in less than 5 minutes.

Quote from itsalladream : Yes, but it could be argued that the gift card itself isn't actually purchased, as it has no value. A good enough lawyer could argue it.

I'm a criminal defense attorney (barred in Virginia), and I'm a good enough lawyer to tell my clients not to invite charges for idiotic reasons. The best outcome is no charge.

Now with that said, let's say I already have an Amazon gift card that has been used. Does it work like it does with say Target and I can just add on to the value (of $0)? That is an interesting question to me.

Definitely wasn't suggesting someone try it, by any means.

Well I'll tell you it's a trial I'd actually sort of enjoy going through as defense counsel (since I wouldn't be the one with my butt on the line).

Tried this evening to PM TRU GC offer to BB and got shot down. Even went to the closest TRU beforehand and p/u the actual ad b4 going to BB - of course no amazon GCs on hand. Asked the guy in TRU electronics that if he gets a call to say that they have them and he said he would. Headed to BB thinking that they would just do it w/o issue but nope had to go thru the whole phone call and wait on hold ordeal and I told the BB girl to talk to electronics of course she ignores me and of course they say none in stock. And I'm like its five dollars and she says "well, BB doesnt really PM anymore and yes we have to call and confirm availability" like a good little BB drone. I tried to check out in the place near the tablets and things are not in the front cashier FWIW.

Really thought BB was turning a corner too b/c the deals i scored on MBAs from a couple months ago. It was almost like they bent backwards to give me good deals on the open box ones I got (was able to stack discounts and cpns and even had mgrs come over and approve relatively easy). Idk maybe they want to get rid of open box MBAs...

Quote from oyouno : Last time my toys r us didn't carry any of the gift cards that were on sale even though they were in the ad, but most people were able to get BB to price match.

Last time BB not match gift card, waste gas on this. Never see Toyrus have Amazon Kindle gift card.

Do you have to go to customer service to price match? Or can I just go to the normal register and have them do it? I don't feel like waiting in line just to get turned down.

It unfortunately really is Best Buy's policy to contact the local competitor to check if the item is in stock. (See: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payme...7300050000.) Note that it says "immediately available products from a local retail competitor's store." There are definitely times when I wish more BB employees were lazier....

You can do it at the normal register. You only need to go to the customer service desk if you are price matching after you make a purchase (or if a cashier is inept and sends you over there).

nope. these cards are one time use.

my trash bin is full of these used cards now. I've made some BIG purchases on Amazon recently.

if you look in the FAQs it says this:

How do I show "proof" of price?
The best way to show proof of price is to bring in the competitor's current ad or notify us of the website address of the designated major online retailer. We may call the competitor's retail store or check the website address of the designated major online retailer to verify the lower price and availability of the item.

Seems to me that the "may" is more interpreted as "must" sometimes but seems clear based on this language. Anyway, my hang-up is always on what makes business sense and here $5 PM does not seem worth it particularly in what I pointed out earlier that they were giving hundreds off MBAs...

thanks OP, they PM'd amazon cards at BB. Young Skippy had to call a manager cuz he wasn't sure if he could do it, you know... legally- cuz Im Neil McCauly. Manager came and I showed her the ad on my phone- she gave him the okay and he did the PM himself. Atta boy!!

Used all $45 in RZ certs. Bra tried to check me out without asking! Whatchu think Im rich dude?!

Thanks everyone for posting and giving me the confidence I need to rise and SD ANOTHER day!!!!!!!
