So the AmEx Offer + the BBY points is definitely a better combo than the cashstar route with the rebate.
No, you won't likely earn BBY pts with eGCs via cashstar.
the $25/$250 sync credit + BBY pts is absolutely the best combo especially if you've reached Elite Plus status since you get 1.25 pts for every $ spent. I buy only VGCs from BBY and earned a lot of pts that I bank (this is available only to Elite n Elite Plus status based on total spending per calendar year) till they're high enough to pay for an expensive item. Another plus when paying with BBY certificates is tax is computed after the certs so it is not unusual to end up with zero total if certs are enough to pay for the item.
