it's legit. If you go to best buy gift card page, it will link you to cashstar website.Is cashstar legit? I'm really tempted to do this, but I've never heard of them before.
They are legit. I've used this deal every time it pops up and it's always via Cashstar.Is cashstar legit? I'm really tempted to do this, but I've never heard of them before.
From my understanding from doing this deal in the past, the codes are similar to GCs in that they have a GC number and PIN. They just expire on a set date (although...). Thus, they should be treated towards the GC limit on a single order like all other GCs, which I think is capped at 10.Does anyone know how the saving codes work? If I were to use a different Paypal/CC to buy more than 3 (looking at buying maybe 5), can I use all of the codes in the purchase of a single item?
If I remember correctly, yes it does count towards the $1500/$3500 spending.Even though it's through CashStar, does anyone know if still count as a purchase towards Elite Status (I'm guessing yes since you get Reward points)?

use the gift card to buy stuff on black friday then use the extra gcs to buy your console discounted? ..I just don't think I can pull the trigger on this without knowing the stock level of consoles. If none are in stock before 12/14, I would be so pissed, especially since there will be hardly any games left to buy after getting plenty on BF.
Hmm. You just cleared everything up! For some reason I was thinking the entire 150 plus 15 had to be used in that 2 week window. I may do this then. Thanksuse the gift card to buy stuff on black friday then use the extra gcs to buy your console discounted? ..
True, but usually best buy does a B2G1 around that time as well.The only turn off is that the $15 savings code must be used between 12-1 to 12-14. By then Black Friday deals are probably all sold out.
friend did it 4 times, used family members names and different email addressesAnyone have experience with getting more than 3 $15 codes?
Different email address or something?
Thanks. Same payment method?friend did it 4 times, used family members names and different email addresses
Yes. I have had this problem with a different card. I called CS for my card and told then I'd be buying $150 three times from Cashstar and it worked fine. Keep in mind you won't get bonus BB rewards for using your BB card because you're technically buying from Cashstar.Has anyone had issues with their credit card not going through? The GC-buying interface is a bit dated—it isn't accepting my Best Buy card, even though it's active and there's no balance.
Wanted to see if anyone else had encountered this before I call their customer service.
You could always buy 2 $150 cards with your amex.. this would get you the bonus $25 plus 2x $15 so $330 for $275.I would be all over this, but I have the Amex spend $250 get $25 offer deal active. I don't think I will be spending more than that on Best Buy this year. Thanks OP.
I believe you're buying from Cashstar not Best buy so the amex offer wouldn't triggerYou could always buy 2 $150 cards with your amex.. this would get you the bonus $25 plus 2x $15 so $330 for $275.
Yep. Would have been pretty awesome though.I believe you're buying from Cashstar not Best buy so the amex offer wouldn't trigger
Just do it now and return rebuy, tell them your using a different cardUgh, just spent $70 at Best Buy yesterday but didn't see this. Still may take advantage, but would've been easier for me to drop $150 if I was using the $70 immediately.
Would if I could, but they were gifts that were sent to the recipient already.Just do it now and return rebuy, tell them your using a different card
From their terms on the right side of the page, so my guess is no:Correct me if I'm wrong:
isn't a savings code a gift card, or at least in that format? Therefore, can't I just buy something during that period, return it, and get a normal gift card upon return?
Gotcha, thanksFrom their terms on the right side of the page, so my guess is no:
- The value of the savings code will not be refunded if merchandise is returned or an order is cancelled.
During the order, you can add 3 $150 gc's. The 3 free savings codes are automatically added to your order.So do you need to make it 3 separate transactions or could you just add 3 $150 gift cards to one transaction, and get 3 separate $15 codes?
You can just print it out and use it in storeThis may be a stupid question, but you can use these e-gift cards in a brick and mortar BB store, correct? The offer says the $15 "Savings code" may be redeemed in-store, but it doesn't actually say anything about the e-gift cards themselves. Was planning on buying a couple of these, as long as I can use them on BF in store.
So you would buy the gift card, then you would buy that item that already sent off and then you would return it under the 1st receipt to get your $70 back.Would if I could, but they were gifts that were sent to the recipient already.
