Post #2 Discount District
Update 2
I’ve now had a Best Buy business account in addition to my personal account for the past 10 months. This turned out to be an excellent decision because it’s enable me to hit many gift card deals much harder than I would’ve been able to buy on a personal account.

So yes, you can have a Business Account AND Personal Account.

This morning I stopped by Dollar General and picked up Starbucks cards 15% off to use in Magic Kingdom. I also got my husband a Taco Hell card for 15%> Chick-fil-A was not on sale and Zaxby's was only 10%>
 
I received an email from Costco that this offer is expiring today.
I wonder if Costco will continue to sell DGC online.
I hope they do.

Thanks for posting this. I was able to get 3 with my usual credit card via the Best Buy app. It gave an error when I tried online via PC (Request failed because of network connection). I waited until those showed up and then got 2 more via Cash App. Waiting to see that is successful or not.


DG is on my list of errands for today. I'll let you know if DGC are part of the 15% off or not.
I went today. DGC is not part of the deal. Only the cards pictured. I even had the cashier test a DGC to be sure.

I think there's more going on that what can be seen on the actual ad. The store should have posted a sign like the one @Euby took. I think your cashier may have misspoken.

Anyone find a creative way to get the 3 GCs from BestBuy but also hit the AMEX spend $250 that makes it worthwhile?
Nothing creative... but earlier this year I just bought $125 worth of other undiscounted gift cards to get to the $250. I got a $100 Apple GC and a $25 Roblox GC. They have many to select from... I was debating between Apple and Amazon but ultimately went with Apple since I can get quarterly 5% bonus from my Discover card on Amazon purchases.
 
With respect to the idea of having a business account to improve access to gift card deals--does this require an actual business? Does Best Buy want your state Corporations Bureau I.D. number or something? Or do you just call yourself "Jane Doe LLC" and nobody cares enough to verify it?
 
I've been updating the Warehouse thread for Black Friday/ DGC deals 2023. Why am I missing so much for BJ's? I don't have a membership there but I could have sworn you guys posted all the deals and brochure . Right?
