The fine print for their rewards program says you only get 5% on gift cards. Still, better than nothing.
For fun, I tried to use my $20 Groupon tonight when I bought some of the Kindle cards. I knew it wouldn't work. And it didn't. But the guy at the register was happy to give it a go.

Is this a nationwide deal? I flipped through the flyer at my local TRU in Connecticut and there was no mention of the sale. I checked online and couldn't find it either. I wanted to PM BB, but they would not do it unless I have the actual ad.

Don't know about nationwide. I found it online on page 41 of the Christmas ad on their website after entering my zip. Try it out and good luck!
1).I bought $100 in Toys R'US GC's in a single transaction, then got a $15 coupon.
2). Did a separate transaction worth another $100 in TRU GC's and used the $15 coupon from the previous transaction, so the second $100 TRU GC's for $85, plus another $15 meijer coupon for the second transaction.
3). Took the $200 worth of TRU GC's that I paid $185 at meijer to TUS. Got $200 worth of Amazon GC's (4 $50 Amazon GC'S) for $180 off the TRU GC's.
4). The remaining $20 TRU GC balance I had, I bought a $25 Amazon GC. 10% off=$22.50 - $20 bal on TRU GC = $2.50 for a $25 Amazon GC.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...IN ALL I SPENT $187.50 FOR $225 IN Amazon GC'S...AND STILL HAVE A $15 COUPON LEFT FOR meijer!!!
BOOO-YAAA......YA'LL CAN THANK ME LATER...

Bestbuy no pricematch. Both TRU in my area (Eastbay CA) just had lots of food gift cards and T-Mobile.

Yes, I did this a few days ago without issue. Good luck finding Amazon.
1).I bought $100 in Toys R'US GC's in a single transaction, then got a $15 coupon.
2). Did a separate transaction worth another $100 in TRU GC's and used the $15 coupon from the previous transaction, so the second $100 TRU GC's for $85, plus another $15 meijer coupon for the second transaction.
Sounds like the better deal (if the above is true) is using that $15 coupon on GC purchases at meijer - effectively, that's 15% off of any GCs they carry. If you can't find Amazon GCs at TRU then you're stuck with the TRU GCs.

Yes they did, I called and made sure of it when I was at meijer and confirmed they still had the Amazon GC still available. If not I would have been stuck with $200 in TUR GC's. The meijer and TRU were close together, so it wasn't like I was driving 20 miles between the two.
I stopped at the TUR today to see if they had any more Amazon GC's and they were all out. They didn't know if they would get any more in before the sale ended and they do not give rainchecks on GC's.

Anybody have any luck in Columbus, OH? I've been too sick to go out, and didn't want to risk the call.

Be sure to look under other gift cards. Whether done accidentally or purposely by others trying to hide the cards so that they can come back for it later, you may find them behind other cards. I found a whole stack of $50 and $25 Kindle cards under some IHOP cards in the Times Square, NY location yesterday.
I couldn't find any Kindle gift cards at Toys R Us, but I grabbed the weekly ad and went down the street to Best Buy. They wouldn't price match the $50 Kindle cards, but they were willing to price match the $25 cards.
I have 3 AMEX cards that were all enrolled in the $20 off $200 Facebook/Twitter promo and $50 off $100 Halo 4 promo.
I asked for 27 $25 gift cards totaling $675. The store rep marked each down to $22.49 for a total of $607.23.
I spread the transaction equally onto the 3 AMEX cards to trigger the promos.
In the end, I got $675 in Amazon gift cards for $397.23, which is 41% off!

(why are people so hung up on $2,000 macs? I would rather have 4 PC laptops for that price, and I'd always have the latest and greatest.)
latest, but not greatest IMHO
