Quick Thoughts
Best Buy has been running “Black Friday” deals for several days, so this Citi Offer is a great way to save on those offers as well as any other deals that appear in the coming weeks.
If there aren’t any deals that appeal right now, you can likely lock in the 10% discount by buying gift cards despite the gift card exclusion. Buying Best Buy eGift cards won’t work because CashStar processes payment for those, but all other gift card purchases online and in-store should work.
Can you use paypal when paying at bestbuy.com and still trigger this offer? That way I can split the payment so that exactly $150 goes to the Citi card with the offer and the rest can go to another card with better points payback.
I don’t think you can split payment in that way. What should work is buying a Best Buy gift card for $x amount which is $150 short of the overall cost, buying it somewhere that you can earn higher rewards. You can then redeem that gift card and you should be able to pay the $150 balance with your Citi card.
Alternatively, you can buy $150 physical Best Buy gift cards using this Citi Offer and use those, then pay the balance with a different card.
Hi Stephen – does this have to be done in a single purchase or can we do multiple transactions to hit the $150 to trigger the offer. Thanks
I’m afraid I’m not sure as the terms of the offer don’t specify one way or the other. It can take a while for statement credits to come through from Citi Offers, so even if we tested it now, we likely wouldn’t know until next month.
