Something that definitely did die with them, though, is the ability to buy Visa gift cards using Best Buy gift cards.
Let me clarify. You could go in and buy a BB Gift Card. Then take the BB gift card YOU JUST BOUGHT and use it to buy another BB Gift Card AND GET BB REWARD POINTS. Whatever you're referencing above was certainly not this.

Only lasted about a couple weeks (maybe two) but it was massively profitable. Downside is I'm BBBFL (Best Buy Banned For Life)
