Quote from mommyrmd :
Below is what I've experienced from past deals like this:

Q1: Can you buy one $450 gift card and still get the 3 x $15 savings codes?
A1: Yes. If you want to check, try to add 1 x $450 gift card and you'll see that 3 x $15 savings codes will automatically be added to your card. And no, you will not receive 1 x $45 savings code -- you will receive 3 x $15.

Q2: Can I stack the $15 savings codes together and/or with other gift cards, rewards certificates?
A2: Yes. Note that there are limits if you use them online. I think about no more than 10 gift cards or savings codes combined for each online order. There are probably in-store limits as well, but I personally have been able to use as many as 15 savings codes (and/or gift cards) in one transaction at a time. YMMV

Q3: Can I use the $15 savings codes to purchase gift cards from Best Buy?
A3: Recent reports says NO. YMMV. See this thread. However, it seems buying Best Buy gift cards with Best Buy gift cards (and savings codes) still works in-store. I tried this on 6/11/2018 and it worked. Greatbam noted similar success on using savings codes to buy Best Buy gift cards on 6/8.

Q4: If I return an item that was purchased using the $15 savings codes,will I get the $15 savings codes back?
A4: In my personal experience, for an online purchase -- the funds go back to the savings codes. If your savings codes are already expired, this means that your refund is $0. Last week though, I used this type of savings codes (i.e. those that expire) in-store, returned said items in-store (before savings codes expired) and received a regular gift card in return (i.e., one that doesn't expire). YMMV

Q5: Will I get Best Buy Rewards points for purchasing these gift cards?
A5: Yes. Just make sure you enter your rewards member number at the time of purchase. There's a spot for it at the bottom of the screen after you enter your payment information. This is a great way to reach Best Buy Rewards Elite status. (Additional note: if you did it correctly with your member number, it should appear in your rewards history as "E-Gift Card Purchase" within a day)

Q6: Can I buy more than 3 x $150 gift cards and get more than 3 x $15 savings codes?
A6: Note that in each order, you can only have a total of up to $500 gift cards so the only way to do more than 3 is to place at least one more order. In the past, when I tried to place a second order using the same email/name/credit card information from a prior purchase -- the order went through with the savings codes showing up in the cart. But when the confirmation email arrived in my email, the value of the savings codes were removed. The only time purchasing more than 3 worked for me was when I ended up using the following different information: different email address, different name, and different credit/debit card. Using the same billing address and phone number did not appear to be an issue. YMMV

Q7: Is this purchase considered "outside" of Best Buy (for those attempting to fulfill a Best Buy credit card promotion)?
A7: Yes. Best Buy customer service said that CashStar is considered "outside" of Best Buy.

For those who have the Chase Freedom credit card and have not yet used up their 5% cashback limits for the quarter, you can also pay using Chase Freedom via PayPal and get 5% cashback.

Hope this helps.

There was a similar promotion that started in April, those savings codes are available now from the prior promotion. For this new promotion, the savings codes won't be available until July.

Same here. I wasn't happy last time when I tried to use my $300 GC to buy gas card!
Me too man...me too. Last Friday was a sad day Frown....but then I hit up a grocery store in my area and it let use a $10 off $75 and also gave me $10 off next purchase because I bought 5 $25 gc's and my day got better Smilie.

$20 off $125 was a bit better. Hopefully that $10 off $75 comes back around sometime in the next few months.

Has it also stopped allowing the purchase of a best buy gift card using the $15 certificate? I know 3rd party cards are out.

For anyone that used the promo last time it was available, can multiple $15 gift cards be used on a purchase? I am trying to but 2 - $150 gift cards and then use the 2- $15 gift cards on one purchase. I asked their chat and it said no, but some people have said they may have been able to. Just trying to get a better idea before placing an order.

Better yet, I'll just go to Kroger and get a $150 Best Buy GC there and get 14% back in fuel, which is $21.

I have to get all 35 gallons for that savings, but then again, I always do.

We always just drive 2 cars there and bring a few gas cans to hit the limit.

As some others pointed out here before, bestbuy doesn't allow you buy gift cards with bestbuy gift card anymore. My son received bestbuy gift card on his birthday and he was upset when he learned that he cannot buy PSN gift card with it. No where on the gift card says you can't buy another gift card...

Stuck with Bestbuy gift cards. They updated all bestbuy stores 3 weeks back in my area and it no longer allows to purchase other brand gift cards.

I've done that. Lately I just grab my gas cans and fill the truck up and put the rest in those.

After all the free points kmart would give out I amassed quite a large collection of gas cans cheap, so I usually get 70 gallons at a time now. People behind me in line get mad when I drop the tailgate and they see I'm gonna be there for a while. LMAO

To be fair, I try to warn them at least. I would hate to be stuck there too.

Youre purchasing gc via cashstar. You will not get any pts

Yes you will. I put this info in the wiki as well.
Quote from Xellos2099 :
Do I still get reward point for buying the gift card if i input my elite account number?
Yes you get reward points, but it gave me only 1% instead of the 5% when I used my BBCC
And any purchase paid with GC doesn't give you the points again.
Thus the majority saving on this deal is just the $15 promo code.
I'd choose the ebay deal over this, since you get another 5% using PP checkout w/ chase freedom

Yes. You can use up to 10 gift cards (IIRC) on a single purchase, and that includes those codes.

No..they let buy a BB GC with the savings codes.

I used my savings codes last Friday and did this.
