Didn't BBY stop stocking up Kindle GCs? Or,, have I happened to go to those stores that sold out those GCs? I need some certificates to burn and at all 5 stores I've been in 3 states, zero kindle GCs left...

Is it $250 in one transaction or a cumulative purchase total of $250?

Kindle GC are becoming very scarce for me too. I have 3k worth of certs to cash out. Phoenix, AZ has a lot still. St. Louis, MO is out; Indianapolis is mostly out; Columbus is out; Cincinnati is mostly out. I took a road trip for other MS purposes and tried to cash out what I could. Looks like Kindle is going the way of the buffalo.

I did not earn elite bonus for purchases of Visa GCs.

It also looks like GCs don't earn the elite bonus.. I've qualified for elite plus thanks to this promo.

So what's the next best option that everyone's doing?

I meant if the BB stores are not selling VGC or Kindle cards. There seems to be a shortage in some regions.

The deal is back again, so I went and bought enough to get the promo.

Question: Is buying VGCs at Best Buy a good deal without any promos? You get MyBestBuy points, but the max value per card is $200 and fee is $5.95.

Without any promos, it's not a good deal at all unless you have a 5% Cash Back card.

I'm an AU on my sons Amex Plat, but his card is registered for the sync. If I use my card, with a different number, to buy $250 plus, will his plat get the credit?

No, the AU card has to have the offer loaded on it.

anyone else having trouble reporting their missing points from this? Now that Best Buy discontinued mybestbuy.com and only use bestbuy.com I can no longer report missing points. I have tons of $$ now to report, but get an error telling me to check my information again every time.
