Buy $200 of Uber gift cards from Costco for $159.98 (the max they will sell you in a 2 week period)
Select this Starlink mini in Uber Eats from Best buy. Total charge, including tax and delivery, is $247.49 plus tip
If you order your Uber Eats delivery in advance (like for delivery tomorrow), I believe they'll give you another $2 off, so now $245.49
$200 of that will only cost you $159.98 because of the gift cards. Plus the remaining $45.49. That's $205.47 out of pocket (including tax but not including tip) compared to purchasing direct from Best Buy for $250.04 (including tax, and no tip needed).
Your numbers will be a little different due to tax differences, but it's a decent savings.
Also check your Uber Eats account for any retail promotions. When I bought my Starlink through this method a couple months ago, I also had a $40 off retail promo in there too.
Starlink replaced its pause feature with a $5 / month "standby" mode which has unlimited low speed data. In practice though the "low speed" data is too slow to use for things like streaming video, even at low quality. You can always just cancel the plan when you don't need it, as it is billed month-to-month, but if you do this they have no guarantees you'll be able to sign up again. So I would consider it a month-to-month plan with a $5 / month fee for pausing service ("standby mode").
Community Reviews
Starlink Mini is a compact satellite internet kit that shines for camping, RVs, truck campers, road trips, and backup home internet. It supports multiple devices, has an integrated router, and can run on AC, 12 volt or USB C power, with easy setup and low power draw. Real world reports include smooth YouTube at 360p, 150 to 250 Mbps in a truck camper, and usable gaming latency around 40 ms. The main caveat is plan flexibility, since pause mode is now a $5 standby option with very slow low speed data and possible limits after long inactivity. It is a strong fit when portable internet matters more than full home service.

I love how easy BB makes after purchase price adjustments. Would only be better if it was done automatically.
