Update: Stephen Pepper reports that these offers will not stack. The system apparently awards whichever offer you sync first. I’d recommend only syncing one at a time until you’ve used it to play it safe.
When I logged in to write a post a little while ago about the American Airlines SimplyMiles deal for AARP membership, I came across two deals for Best Buy: one to earn 1,000 bonus AA miles when you spend $200 or more on a linked card and a second offer to earn 250 bonus AA miles when you spend $200 or more. I don’t know for sure that these offers will stack, but if you sync them to the same card I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
The Deal
- American Airlines Simply Miles is offering two separate offers for Best Buy when you sync these offers and use your linked credit card to purchase:
- 1,000 miles on a purchase of $200 or more
- 250 miles on a purchase of $200 or more
- Direct link to log in to SimplyMiles and sync these offers
Key Terms
- Offers expire 5/31/20
- Excludes Best Buy Express, Geek Squad services made outside of Best Buy, Best Buy Parts Store, Best Buy Direct, Best Buy Education, Best Buy Ignite, Best Buy Secondary Markets, Best Buy Private Store & Auction or as standalone Pacific Sales stores.
- Not valid for gift card, e-gift card, or corporate gift card purchases.
- Offer valid for instore and online purchases.
Quick Thoughts
Remember that you need to first add the offer to your SimplyMiles-linked Mastercard and then use that card to check out at Best Buy online or in-store. You should be able to still go through a shopping portal as well. It looks like Rakuten is currently offering 1x.
Note that the terms exclude gift card purchases. I don’t know whether or not that is enforced.
Since these offers do not stack, you will want to sync the 1,000-mile offer and make a purchase. If you want to make a second purchase, I’d recommend waiting a few days until you sync the second offer. Note though that these expire soon — on 5/31/20.

I looked at SimplyMiles for the first time in June and I have 97 total offers. There are the same BestBuy offers as last month, a 250 miles for $45 @ CVS, and a couple offers for Olive Garden … all expire end-of-June. And of course a bunch of others that do not look too exciting to me.
Mine stacked in January for Bestbuy, also stacked later for Walgreens and Exxon.
Will AARP work, if I renew for $16? I found AARP membership pretty valuable, saved more than $1000 in under a year.
Yes, definitely YMMV on offer availability and stacking. Mine stacked back in April 2020.
[…] Update 5/25/20: New Best Buy deal added. Hat tip to FM […]
Please write the headline as “1K AA miles” vs. just “1K miles”. Thank you!
Mine stacked, so I guess it’s a ymmv situation. I have been able to stack in the past as well at other retailers.
Mine have previously stacked, as recently as a couple months ago at CVS. I have not tried stacking with Best Buy.
