- 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.

For those of you using your Discover card for that 5% category:
Check your statement history. I only ended up receiving 1% for my Apple gift card purchase.
Edit: I contacted Discover CS and they added the other 4%.
Wow, thanks for the tip! Definitely going to keep an eye out for my upcoming statement. I wonder how this could even happen since the merchant code shouldn't be marked or categorized differently than any other BestBuy purchase as far as I'm aware 😟

I'm not entirely sure either. Initially, I thought it might've been because I made my purchase at Best Buy before they added Best Buy into the 5% category, but I double checked and seemed like that wasn't the case.
In regards to viewing the cash back, you can click on the transaction (if the transaction has posted) to see details such as how much cash back you earned on that purchase without needing to wait for your next statement.

I spent $500 at Best Buy using Discover on November 28
I clicked the transaction to view the cash back
Saw $5 cash back
Thought I was supposed to get $25 back (which is 5% cash back)

Thank you for the tip! 😄
Did someone in your house also buy gift cards?
Best Buy flags orders from duplicate accounts (same address, IP address)
