Best Buy AMEX Offer

A quick question on the AMEX Offer of spend 250 and get 25 back. Is it applicable even if I get best buy gift cards in the best buy website. Anyone had success doing so?

Yes. AMEX doesn't care what you buy, so long it is from BB.

Re: Best Buy AMEX Offer

Valid in store and online at bestbuy.com. Not valid at Best Buy Express, on Geek Squad services made outside of Best Buy stores, Best Buy Parts Store, Best Buy Private Store & Auction or at standalone Pacific Sales stores. Excludes e-gift cards, corporate gift cards, and PayPal purchases. Valid at US locations and territories only. Excludes Canada and Mexico stores. If you order an item during the offer period but it is not sent to you until after 9/2/14, it may not count towards determining whether your purchase qualifies for the offer. Enroll ltd. Limit 1 statement credit per American Express Card across all American Express offer channels. Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 9/2/14, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you will not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it.

Best Buy doesn't use Level 3 data, so AMEX should in theory has no way to tell what you bought.

 

Still better safe than sorry and stick to physical gift card.

You mean to say it is safe to get a physical gift card online?

Nothing on the terms excludes physical gift card, so yes.
