They are offering 18 month no Interest. Think abtag the new IPad. Are they good to deal with.?
BestBuy store card is great, hard to get, high credit lines, easy CLI's or it was before capone took over, don't know now.
Bestbuy Reward MasterCard, Sub-prime low credit limit expect no CLI love from CapOne anytime soon high AF at $69 for a low limit. Probably not enough CL to benefit from the 18 months zero intrest. CapOne may waive it but who knows, its a rebuiler card use it if you need it, And close it when your AF hits.
The Best Buy Reward Zone Mastercard is not a good card: low limits, a big AF, and high interest rates. I don't know anything about the store card.
If you need a computer or a tablet, use your new Citi Diamond Preferred and its long 0% interest period.
Bad thing with BB is if you don't pay it off by end of period, thay charge back interest.

That is not just a BB thing... Basically any 0% outside of a 12 month Citi Visa or something, store cards and such will always defer.
I would suggest you apply in store.
But not all cards do this, a lot of them will charge int starting from the day interest start without going back to the original transaction date. It's a good question to ask before you sign up for any 0% limited time offer.
If your score is good and you have no baddies and decent history you'll probably get the store card. if you get the mastercard version for so-so credit pppl's it's likely you'll get such a small limit you won't even be able to put a ipad on it.
if you do take advantage of the 0% offer make sure you pay it off or else you'll be charged for the interest from all the way back to the date of purchase. it's a good card if you know how to manage your credit and don't get sucked into not paying it off in time. i learned my lesson from sears years ago and yes most places that offer 0% for X amount of months will charge you the full interest rate from purchase date if you don't pay it off in time.

Yes the deal is good.
ive had my bb store card (not mastercard) for a little under 2 years. and have put 4 purchases ranging from 500 to 1200 dollars for the 18 month promo.
ive become a rewards plat member because ive put on 2 laptops, 2 game consoles, and a few other misc purchases.
i recently let a promo expire and they did charge me the back taxes. about 70. dollars worth.
as long as you make minimum ( im not suggesting this.) they will not charge interest on the purchase.

i find this odd.
i have heard that the store card is harder to get but whats the logic?
shouldn't they want you to use the store card for only their purchases.
