They said Only Premier/Prestige and another premium card can get 1:1 redemption rates for Bestbuy.
Is that true??
Thankyou.com website says 1:1 rate, but accurate redemptions can only be checked once logged in.
Anyone can confirm?
Thanks!

I have moved your thread to the comprehensive TY point guide, where this issue is discussed. Yes, there is a difference in redemption values if there are TY credit cards attached.

Per the Wiki:

Gift Cards:

There is some variance on the value for Gift Card redemption, depending on what credit card(s) you have tied to your ThankYou account. Generally, as long as there is a credit card tied to the account, it is a 1 cent-per-point redemption value, with $25/$50/$100 denominations.
