spent $300 or more on one or more transactions get a $30 credit. Offer valid through December 31, 2018 or while promotion last. Note, offer/availability will vary by cardholder. Be sure to login to your American Express account to see if you're eligible/qualified to activate the offer on your card.

Make sure to activate it under your "offers" when you log into your account BEFORE using the offer..

I wonder if it will work if you buy gift cards...could be a nice bonus to that spend $150 get $15 back they are currently running

I remember using a promo like this to buy my WiiU. Doing the math I come out slightly ahead due to GCU doubling the 3x points for gaming accessories (I want to buy PSVR).

 
Heads-up to new Amex cardholders. I’m not positive, but this might be an offer you not only need to be eligible for, but also have to claim/activate. So really seriously make sure you login to your account to check 🙂

But good deal. Would be great to stack with the gift card deal...tough to tell if it would work. Will plan to use this to get some new headphones, though.

You do have to activate it on your Amex account under the Offers tab.

In regards to buying gift cards, my experience with Amex offers is they are pretty much indifferent to what you buy, as long as you cross the $300 mark on the credit card transaction

yeah I meant e-gift cards.. so NO it is not going to be stackable with the current gift card deal. You have to buy a physical gift card in order for it to be eligible since the egift cards go through cash star instead of bestbuy.com... :)

 
Thanks OP! Got the offer. These Amex deals have been so lame in recent years compared to years back, I completely forgot to look. Still longing for the days of 20% off entire purchase at TRU, no exclusions (except gift cards). Those were the days!

 
Amex got smart about allowing multiple of the same offer across the same cardholder. I used to use multiple tabs in chrome to add the offer to every amex card I had.

Yet, there are two offers out there and they don't seem to be linked. One is a $30 off $300 and the other is 3,000 membership rewards points for spending $300. I was able to add both, but you need to have a membership rewards based card and a non-rewards card (such as blue cash or SPG).

AMEX stopped allowing the "multiple/incognito tabs" trick awhile back, and they actually have started "clawing" back offers in recent months if you managed to use the same offer across multiple cards.

Uggggh clawbacks are so lame. I remember the days of buying gas gift cards for 20-33% off across 4 or 5 cards.
 
Thanks, OP.  This will likely wind up as 10% off Steam Wallet cards for me.

I never get these offers for Best Buy or the Best Buy “mystery emails” they send out. I checked my Amex reward section and nothing for Best Buy. I’ve been a Best Buy elite member for years, GamerClub member for years, and preorder a ton of games from them. You’d think that I would be on the of the customers they would send these too but, alas... (enter sad face here)

That actually makes you a perfect candidate to not send anything to. These offers aren't to reward loyal customers. They're to bring in people who aren't already spending tons of money at the store.

Thanks OP!  I haven't used my AMEX as much in recent years since they dropped a lot of "spend X get X credit" in favor of membership reward point offers.  Got this and a couple of $10 off $20 at Exxon Mobil activated!

 
Wow

I haven't used this card for 3 years (because it was just that worthless) and, amazingly, they didn't cancel the card.

Plus I finally got an amex offer I can actually use. 

Imagine that lol

 
Guess I'll try to buy a physical BestBuy gift card and decide later what's best to use it on. Maybe 3 $100 denominations idk

Anybody think the Purple New 2DS XL will be discounted anytime soon?

Fry's and Amazon (maybe?) Have had it for $140. You can probably price match. $10 is not much of a discount.

Id rather get the bonus reward points over statement credit. Ive been banking points for gift card sales and mile transfers. My thanksgiving flight was $560 cash price but, did the 1:1 delta and got it for 36k points.
