Why is that? We opened one when we re-did our kitchen -- we even had a Best Buy "kitchen consultant" come to the house and adjust all the prices down to the lowest he could do. Since we opened the card it was (at the time) 10% back in rewards. I figured we'd never use the card again, but they constantly send offers to get more rewards for making purchases (e.g. 5% back in rewards for shopping at Costco). It's actually turned out to be a pretty decent card for us.

For clarification, it's 20% back in BB Reward points. You can use those directly for purchases at BBY for full value, or they will allow you to convert them to a selection of gift cards, but typically at half the value you'd get using them at BBY.

Alert. This info will benefit people who have not used their card for a while. You may be eligible for this deal.

Less than two weeks ago, I purchased the M2 Air on sale for $ 469. Went to pay with my Best Buy card. I was told it expired. Something about not being used for over a year. Odd. Can't be reinstated.

The rep said I could open a new one. I said okay. My C score is 850, so no problem. Ten percent back on purchase seemed worth it. I forgot my gift card reduced the reward to $ 25. Okay. Not worth it for $ 25 but done.

Within a week, I got a mailer from Best Buy for 10% off the price of a single item. Not a gift card. They considered me a new card customer. I guess I'll also get the 5% rewards, looking at a $ 1499 purchase of an OLED TV for $ 1499.

Does the 20% back apply to a price matched MBP if one was to apply and get approved on the day of purchase?

Yes, I did this last week when I price matched a MacBook Pro. Defaults to your primary payment method in the app

If I understand this correctly, the rewards can only be redeemed as Best Buy certificate to be used at Best Buy only. Any good use of the certificate? Thanks.

Just confirming, there's a macbook air deal going on right now which i want to buy but if i apply and wait for the card to arrive I don't know if that offer would still be there. Are you saying if I were to apply and get approved today I can immediately use it for a purchase?

I have a couple of questions:
  1. Is this card churnable? For instance, if I were to open it today, make my purchases, and close it after receiving the rewards, would I still be eligible for similar offers in the future?
  2. If I make a $1,000 purchase and receive $200 back, can the reward be redeemed as a Best Buy gift card, or does it need to be applied directly toward the purchase of an actual item?

Can you buy max (up to your credit limit) Best Buy gift cards and get 20% off? Terms are unclear.

Can you be approved between now and Dec 25, and made the purchase within 14 days after and receive 20%? (such as Jan 2)

Quote from Steve.M :
this has a negative impact on your credit because it lowers your "average age" of accounts. I would not recommend doing that with any credit account.
What's the point of having good credit score if you don't use it to your advantage?
