Bestbuy Store card and reward program?

I just got an email saying if I spend $250 by September 1st I will get elite status which gets me 10% and 30 day returns. If  I use my Bestbuy card that would be 16% reward points? 6% from the card and 10% from elite status?

No, it is just the 10% temporary promo rate. The 6% is the standard BB spend bonus, temporarily bumped up because IMHO they haven't been hitting their sales metrics and hoping to entice cardholders to loosen their wallets.

Naa I have an offer to get Elite status with rewards program which gives out 10% bonus. I also have a Bestbuy store card so would that make it 16% or just 10?

Worked for me just purchased a Dyson tower fan on the ole BB card.  Thing is amazing and the rewards made it a bit sweeter yet!

I have eliteplus status and its still just 10%.  As Deviant said its just the promo rate you get the increased % by using your BB card.

Naa Elite is like 10% and Elite plus is 20% I believe. Bestbuy rewards program and the Bestbuy card is seperate as far as what I am talking about. Elite offers 10% bonus points for the year you have it even if you use your Chase, Citi, Amex or  even Cash. Bestbuy store card typically offers 6% but I want to know is if you have Elite which is 10% and the store card do you get 16%
