The system is hardcoded to not allow the purchase of VGCs with Bestbuy GCs. The other gift cards are allowed. I just bought two Shell gift cards using Bestbuy GCs and also using my reward redemption.
If you google you will come across a Bestbuy support page where a Bestbuy agent says that Open Loop gift cards (VGCs) are not allowed but closed loop (all other gift cards) are allowed.
Your store may be denying you outright without even trying the register.
