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.
You do earn points for eGCs via cashstar. There's a place to put in your Best Buy rewards number. And of course, from buying physical Best Buy GCs in-store and online. I'll hit Elite Plus this year, but I've only spent around $300 on actual stuff for myself. I resell the GCs at The Plastic Merchant unless I know there's something I'm going to want to buy there right away. (Then, I try to just use my credit card and not buy GCs in the first place.)
