BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I got nothing!

BUT: A Quick PSA, if you have nothing you need, PLEASE consider using your cert to buy a small toy to donate. It's going to be rough out there this year and you can brighten up a child's day (and let a stressed parent breathe a sigh of relief.) Thanks!

Ring sizing kit for smart rings. It was $10 and came with a $10 BB gift card. This way you could add the gift card balance to your account and no longer have to worry about the short expiration date of the original promotional certicate.Looks like, from comments here, that may no longer work the same way (or at all).

Community Reviews

The certificate is a small Best Buy promo that can work well for cheap add ons, batteries, USB drives, toys, or a ring sizing kit, and it can sometimes bring an order down to just a few dollars with free shipping. It also appears in email or the app, sometimes in a secondary account, and the barcode may be easier to use than the account view. The main snag is that orders can be canceled when the subtotal is too low or payment verification fails, which can make the certificate disappear unless support restores it. A handy but finicky little credit if you can find something priced right.

Common Questions (5)

  • Small accessories and low-cost items fit best, such as USB drives, batteries, paper, plush toys, LEGO, flash drives, and cheap cables. Several shoppers used the certificate on items around $5 to $10 and paid only a small remainder when the total exceeded the certificate.

    AmazizingCycleOpsfatchancesTidalWaveOne

  • Yes. Orders have been canceled for payment verification or because the system treated the subtotal as $0, and the certificate may be lost unless support restores it. In some cases, support later issued a $10 refund credit or returned the value as rewards points.

    itaoshsgarnelOrangeJuliusGreyPicture4748

  • Yes. The certificate appears to need a nonzero subtotal, and orders with only the certificate can be declined. Adding a cheap item like a USB cable or ring sizing kit can make the order process, but some ring-kit orders were still canceled.

    vsaucebluekiwims2000omartian

  • Sometimes the value is restored as rewards points or a future-order credit, but not always. Some canceled orders were credited back as a "Returned Certificate Point Adjustment," while others never came back unless support manually added a replacement credit.

    animeeeetlwizardOrangeJuliusjonlee107

  • Sometimes the email code works even when the certificate does not appear in the account, but some shoppers could not enter it online and saw an in-store-only or unrecognized promo message. The email barcode may still be usable, and the app can also surface the offer even when email does not.

If buying ring sizing kit, add a usb cable or something cheap to your order otherwise your order will be canceled and you lose the rewards certificate

Lasted about a month. Could redeem 10 free codes a day. Very easy to hit tier 7 to get free $10 gc bestbuy. Along with tons of free crappy food and chance at other prizes

Yup, total scam
My last few ring kits got canceled and my certificates were automatically credited as points to my reward account. It's listed in my rewards history as "Returned Certificate Point Adjustment."
I like it this way because now I don't have to worry about throwing away the kit!

That is what I am seeing, Chat was not helpful so this is even better.
