OT - something to ponder...

Say I had a $25 gift card from Best Buy. I then go down to Best Buy and buy another $25 gift card while paying for it with the first card. Then I get back in line and do it again and again and again, etc.

If I were a reward zone member, would I continue to get points for each purchase?

    I thought (and I could be wrong) that you only get the points when you pay with your best buy credit card? If I read your scenario correctly you'd be paying with a gift card each time.

    Hi Nick

    Yes, that would be the scenario. Then I wonder how many gift cards I could use up of theirs before they tossed me out on the street

    actually, they ask me if I want to sign up to be a reward zone member every time I go in there. A Best Buy credit card is never mentioned though.

    Good question and I have no idea but figured I would pop in and say hello to my friend Nick.

    You don't have to use a Best Buy credit card to get points, but even if it works to buy gift cards as you described, you get so few points for a $25 purchase that it wouldn't be worth your time or gas.

    I don't think you can use the Gift Card to buy Gift Cards, so no, it won't work.

    People do it alot, You have people who buy gift cards with a couple of dollars or less for half their remaining value, they go buy one gift card with all the small ones then sell them on Ebay. That is one way sellers of these cards acquire some cards. I don't think you get point for the purchase of gift cards though.

    From the reward zone website:



    << <i>Remember: you earn 1 point for every $1 you spend on purchasing Best Buy gift cards. >>





    << <i>Reward Zone program points will be earned on Best Buy gift card purchases but not on Best Buy gift card redemption. >>
