I spent >30mins at my local BB - short(ish) version, in no particular order:
1. This doesn't show up in their internal ("Blue" something?) site under any kind of trade-in promo.
2. No one (right up to the Mgr) at the store knew anything about this.
3. This does show up under the Recycling take-ins page.
4. As indicated by others on this thread, it shows up under a cordless phone recycling take-in.
5. Even though the text of the promo itself states "storage device," the person helping me initially insisted that I therefore needed to turn in a cordless phone (she wasn't clear on whether it was in addition-to or in-lieu-of a storage device).
6. After further consultation with yet-more in-store personnel, they agreed that it simply meant a storage device, sans cordless phone.
7. Nobody knows why it's under a cordless phone recycling take-in.
8. They had to fill out a form for law enforcement indicating how my storage device being recycled was obtained, from where, approx when, and agreeing that I will not get it back.
9. I dunno if item 8 applies everywhere or was just a quirk where I live.
10. I had 4 "storage devices" with me and asked the intake person to choose which one they want to take (2x flash cards, 2x USB sticks).
11. They didn't seem to care which they take, which implies that flash cards are/were acceptable, at least at my location.
12. Everything above will likely need to be run through all over again each time someone else tries this.
13. The printed coupon does indeed state "SINGLE USE. In store only" and "Offer valid 8/8/2021 - 1/29/2023"
14. I did try the UPC string as an online code and it wasn't accepted (was worth a try)
Hope that helps someone!
I took a 4GB SD card to customer service, and after some messing around, they were able to get me a 15% coupon.
I grabbed a WD_BLACK SN750 1TB, on sale for $119.99. This is basically the lowest price from a regular retailer that I've seen. The kind employee that checked me out was a Supervisor, and the 15% coupon wouldn't scan. She did a manual override, because "you seem to know more about this than I do"
Monitors, in particular, contain lead (lbs of it for CRT) or mercury (LCD). https://earth911.com/recycling-guide/how-to-recycle-computer-monitors/

Also have them print it as the email doesn't include the code.

As for the deal at hand, YMMV. The Best Buy employees at my store were only able to pull up printer recycling and not cordless phones.

The 15% off, as others have stated, is useless if qualifying items are marked up 25% over other retail options anyway. I do like buying from Best Buy physically though because I've never received a fake product versus Amazon.
Suggestions to add the discount on:
- WD - WD_BLACK SN850 1TB Internal PCIe Gen 4 x4 Solid State Drive - On Sale for $199.99 ($30 off) - Highest discount I can think of
- WD - WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe 1TB Internal PCIe Gen 3 x4 Solid State Drive - $119.99 - Good for PS5 update coming soon to increase internal storage
- WD - WD_BLACK P10 4TB External USB 3.2 Gen 1 Portable Hard Drive - Black - $109.99 ($20 off) - Good for external storage
- WD - WD_BLACK P10 For Xbox 3TB External USB 3.2 Gen 1 Portable Hard Drive - Black With White Trim - Xbox Branded 3TB for $109.99

I don't think the WD_BLACK SN750 is going to work in a PS5. It's fast alright, but only PCIe gen 3.
