- The APPLE gift card ($100) can be used to buy apps, iTunes stuff (music and movies), AND is good at the APPLE store (even for physical goods), but again, that's at the APPLE STORE. Keep in mind everything they sell there, except for some holiday and back to school bonuses, are all RETAIL, REGULAR price.
- The BestBuy gift card (the $20) can be used to buy most anything (except other gift cards, I think?) that BestBuy sells, including Apple stuff. But you'd better have a good use for that $100 above first!
Should also be noted that once you load these gift cards to your account you can't buy physical items in store. You have to use the Apple Store app or website to do in store pick up.
2000$ is the maximum you can have loaded to your Apple ID at a time. I've bought more than that and would use, redeem, and reload to make it work.

What are the chances Amazon matches this and/or Target? Amazon is the only retailer left who allow gc purchases with gc.
Even if you spend the $100 BB GC on apple products, it's 25% off. You get $600 mixed GC for $450.
I love how every one of these similar deals turns into a discount battle. It's math, it can be manipulated in a number of ways to prove the other person is wrong. These discounts come down to whole numbers, not percentages. You're getting $20 for free. If you value that on whole dollars, then it's $20. If you value it at a bit less due to lack of getting credit card rewards missed or upfront discounts missed since you're not using a store card, then value it at that small discount.
Not a bad deal for physical products direct from Apple but keep in mind they don't earn cashback and you have to buy from Apple. I assume these don't work in any Apple retailer but only apple.com itself. It is still a nice improvement over when it was just for software.
Not really because when it was just for software, 15% and 20% sales were pretty common. Those sales are gone now

Right. If we had the magical crystal ball the vets play would have been stocking up back then if we knew they'd convert to hardware. I resisted then because I don't use a lot of Apple software services. Stocking up for the hardware back then would have been great.

9 x 20 dollar gc - 180 + 75 amex cashback is 255 back. amex nets 1% back (9 dollars)
FYI. For people whose plans to buy the Apple card, make sure you choose physical card (hopefully will be eligible for $20.00 BB card) and have them ship to you cause AMEX offer not valid for e-gift card. This is from Amex " Not valid for e-gift card purchases. Excludes corporate gift card purchases."

this is for best buy e-gift cards, since they are sold by cashstar. you can buy 3rd party e-gfit cards and be fine.
when they had the $200 apple gift card deal with a $20 BB gift card, it was limited to one per account. they even canceled the orders i tried making from my wifes account. dont know why they were being so weird about it.

i had the exact same idea, but i already used up all my amex offers buying BB gift cards to use to buy the pixel 5 on BF.

Would be near impossible to buy that quantity on Best Buy. Unless you have another billing address
