I usually check Chase to see if any bonus points for BBuy. Sometimes it's a 5X category on Freedom and others it's 1 or 2 extra points/$1 through the mall. Sometimes both. I buy online with store pick up same day and then I drive over there. That way I get my item without having to wait for delivery plus I get the bonus points for the UR Mall.\\
Edit to add if it's only 1 or 2 times via the mall and not a Freedom 5X, you can use any card to check out and get the mall bonus points. Doesn't have to be your Chase card so if you have something that earns multiple points on all spending categories (like a Hilton card or Arrival), you can double dip that way.

Buy Best Buy gift cards for whatever dollar amount you need from a grocery store (With the AMEX BCP, for example) or Office Supply store (with the Chase Ink, for example), and use them for you Best Buy purchase.

they have their own credit card with citi that would yield I think extra 3.5% if you shop there a lot (i.e. visa gc). I think elite members get 2.5% back in points.
if you couple that with shopkick, this is a nice way to manufacture spend and get some electronics out of it. The catch is this is not exactly cashback.
