Coupons usually are not allowed if used to buy giftcards, even if it doesn't stated in the exclusions. So it's probably going to be a YMMV.

Recently there was a BestBuy promo where if you spend $50 on a MasterCard debitcard, you get $10 off. A few people were told by BestBuy managers to get lost when they tried to buy giftcards. So technically you are right, it is a YMMV. However, I bought giftcards at 2 of 2 different BestBuys I went to. The first one was going to sell me an unlimited number of giftcards, I bought only 8. The second one read the terms carefully and pointed out that because it says "no copies", I could buy only one.
The people who were rejected posted their great anger in the thread. They were scheming and trying to find ways to destroy BestBuy. My point is, I am a polite person and I suspect the people who were rejected are complete asshats. I truly believe that the way you treat cashiers and servicepeople has a significant impact on the service they are willing to provide you.
So although technically its a YMMV, as long as you aren't an idiot jerk, your chances of doing the deal is very good.

BTW, its Amazon Kindle giftcards I was buying, which are the same as regular Amazon giftcards.

You got 2 of 2 because $10 off on a $50 is not too hard, is like 20% off.
But if you're trying to get $50 off a $100 is going to be much tougher. So this deal is a big YMMV.

Some of you are very lucky. The ones around me only sell their own GC or itunes, nobody elses. Would love to score some Amazon ones.

The Amazon kindle gift cards are usually by the electronics counter, not by the main registers.

Whoever tries this with Amazon GCs, report back please!

Just to confirm, Kindle gift cards are the same as standard Amazon gift cards, yes?

That is my understanding.

Curious as to where this came from? BB email? It states it is not sponsored by MC.

Just dotting all my i's and crossing all my t's

Domain belongs to best buy, so it is legit unless someone hacked their email/spammail server.

Personally, I would use Amazon cards last. It's just going to draw attention to yourself.

If you want to use the coupon multiple times, try to stay under the radar and buy things not GC related.

That said, there's nothing in the terms that I can see which prohibits the use of this coupon multiple times, even in one day.

This is an amazing coupon if it works.

dont forget that Staples will match competitors coupons.

K-Cups maybe. That would be nice. Around $0.35 a cup.
posted: Jan. 21, 2013 @ 6:47a

So I could use this coupon, my Best Buy reward zone MasterCard, get $50 off $100 and the Reward zone bonus points?

Keeping an eye on this thread for today. Have to go out later anyway.
posted: Jan. 21, 2013 @ 6:48a

if you want to buy Amazon cards, buy the Amazon cards with another item or two. Then leave, go to your car and come back in and return the other items at customer service.

Whoa! This will make some of their monitors and HDs a decent price.

This coupon would make the Kindle Paperwhite $69. I know what I'll be buying at lunch today!

Here's a question for the experienced experts at FW.

I don't have a MasterCard. If I purchased a prepaid MC, could I use it to enable this deal? I don't see why it wouldn't work, but thought I'd throw the approach out there for comment...
posted: Jan. 21, 2013 @ 7:17a

It says "No copies" and it was not sen. Out by email......that could be a reason for them to deny it.

asuka said:   Domain belongs to best buy, so it is legit unless someone hacked their email/spammail server.Granted that's a big plus, but gotta wonder how we/OP were directed to it......

EDIT: wonder if they meant to include that it's only for the Reward Zone MC?
posted: Jan. 21, 2013 @ 7:23a

Yes, Amazon Kindle giftcards can be used as Amazon giftcards on anything on Amazon site. Done it many times before.

HOT.. looks like daily trips to BB this week. The coupon says nothing about video games and/or clearance which is also a usual exclusion, unless I am being blind.
thanks op!

IF legit, they're gonna shut this coupon down a few hours after they get deluged with them when the East coast stores open today.

I fear you're right. I know what I'll be doing at lunchtime.

If I get there right at 10am, what do I say if they ask where I got this? Just say my email? I'd like to get my wife an iPad keyboard and this would be huge for that.

I am going to grab a prepaid MC from the grocery store and drop $200 on it and give this a whirl at lunch, I think. I'd love $200 in Amazon GC's for $100.

Has anyone here received the email with the coupon link?

I received ths email and do not have any Best Buy credit card. The email is titled: Big savings - TODAY only + free shipping What is interesting is that the coupon has the same 400077240772 barcode as the $10 off $100 when using your Mastercard coupon Best Buy sent out on Friday to Gold and Platinum RZ members.

BB has no way of knowing in-store who got the coupon originally.

AND, more importantly, the coupon has no limitations on the transfer or reproduction of said coupon.
