Found it at the following link. It's called Citi merchant offers.

Not sure, but on both accounts, it only showed the usual flex pay and other crappy offers they're constantly emailing about.

It's just weird. I guess for my card with 10/5 charge the statement was closed a day or 2 later. That might have something to do with it? Are you in the same statement cycle that the charge posted in?

I think that's exactly right. My closing date was also the 6th.
So maybe because the statement closed they didn't apply the offer?

Quote from JaTaN :
BB e-GCs are billed and sold by Cashstar so those won't work -- physical BB GCs are sold by BB directly so it'll just post as a regular BB purchase

They might have variable loads ($25-$200) or separate $25/$50/$100 -- I grabbed 2x $100 Amazon

It'll post as a single $200 charge if you buy them in a single transaction in store so it doesn't matter -- if you buy online then they might split it into multiple charges

Just wait it out -- way too early to contact CS


10/1 Bought $200 Amazon GCs in store as regular purchase

10/3 $50 offer shows "redeemed" (Best Buy $50.00 Earned Oct 03, 2021)

10/9 $50 credit posted with 10/7 date

Oct 01, 2021 BEST BUY $200.00
Oct 07, 2021 Merchant Offers Credit NY −$50.00
Dumb question for you as I've never bought gift cards in Best Buy previously. Do they just typically have $100 gift cards and you buy two of them in this instance in store? Or do they have the cards where you load a balance of say $200 on them? Thanks in advance.

Some are fixed value and some are variable -- see what your BB has

The GC rack is usually near the register or front of the store -- they might have 2 racks (one for BB GCs and one for 3rd party GCs)

I'm going to wait for an actual purchase from Best Buy to use this offer as opposed to buying an Amazon gift card, especially since this covers Black Friday with the November 30th expiration date. For retailers other than Amazon, where the CB percentage is lower than 5% and the extended warranty benefit of the CITI card is not applicable (or if the item you're purchasing from Amazon doesn't need an extended warranty), then it's less of an issue.

Buy $200 Amazon GC from BB (get $20 back)
Buy a $200 tablet from Amazon with the Amazon GC (lose $10 for not using Amazon VISA)
Net gain: $10 + no extended warranty coverage

Buy the same tablet from Best Buy (if it's more expensive there, PM to Amazon), pay with CITI card, get back $20
Net gain: $20 + 24 months extended warranty on the item.

Mine is still waiting on both my cards. 10/3 and 10/5 purchase.
Still enrolled and not redeemed. Both cards had statements closed one day after the charge, so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Lol. that's exactly what I did...
Bought iPad 2021 for $299 PM to Amazon, $50 cash back and 5% cashback
Q4 2021 5% (Citi Dividend). + 24 months of extended warranty. Not bad at all...
Final price is likely 257 to 260 including taxes depending on whether they reduce the 5% from the $50 off or not. Not bad at all for a brand new iPad...​
