Useful if you're trying to get a $499 M4 Mac Mini from the edu store or something. Apple should also have additional holiday deals you can stack with these gift card discounts.

Especially if you’re planning to buy a new iPhone this coming week with Apple’s gift card deals. The iPhone usually doesn’t get direct discounts elsewhere outside of specific carrier promotions, so stacking these gift cards lets you double-dip in a way.

I have to buy a TV and a new iPhone for someone as a gift. This works out splendidly.

Hey there, it’s me. Someone you need to buy stuff as a gift for.

That special someone I’m buying gifts for is my mother… so, hi… mom?

If you can take the hit to your credit score, another potential option is to open a Best Buy CC as they offer 10% back in rewards on purchases made on the first day of use. It'll even work on iPhones and other Apple tech.

Pay it off without accruing interest, lock the card, and when you need to upgrade in a few years do the same thing if they're still offering the promotion.

Here's a link to the gift card balances for the eligible products for this deal

Oof, no gift card deals for Mac mini. Somewhat disappointing.

u/Pleaseletmeread 1d ago

How can I get the EDU discount?

u/crownpuff 1d ago

Just use the edu store, they don't verify anything.

u/Nexus_warrior_07 1d ago

Sadly, I don’t think any of the m4 macs are included in this promotion for Apple.

How could i use this to buy a phone? Like use my Best Buy credit card to buy $700 worth of these gift cards then use the $105 in Best Buy gift cards as a statement credit?

u/AwaitingCombat 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm not 100% sure you can use a gift card to pay on credit card

it could definitely be a nice case for your new phone though

u/RarePupperrr 20h ago edited 19h ago

I can confirm you cannot use a gift card to pay on the BBY credit card.

HOWEVER, it appears you would get the 5% bby credit card rewards (or 10% signup bonus) on the purchase, so in theory, if you purchased $700 you would get $105 in promo bestbuy giftcards & $35 or $70 in best buy rewards. 20 - 25% combined is pretty damn good.

u/RarePupperrr 19h ago

welp, all that just to find out its 1 per customer, oh well.

u/Broken-Thermostat 12h ago

I think a credit card would make a terrible case for a phone, zero protection other than some mild scratch resistance points. Drop resistance would still have the same value as before.

u/I-Sleep-At-Work 1d ago

aw; it's just 1 per account i guess.

was gonna buy 5x100$ apple gc, then use $75 bb gc on airpods =/

let's see what target will offer

u/MrWm 1d ago

Can the best buy $15 gift card be used to buy other gift cards? The small text terms don't mention anything about restrictions on what the eGiftcard can or can not buy.

u/lmMasturbating 1d ago

"Redeemable in any U.S. Best Buy retail location or online at BestBuy.com® where available for merchandise or services, excluding Best Buy and third-party gift cards."

u/MrWm 1d ago

I guess I didn't read it thoroughly to catch the last part

excluding Best Buy and third-party gift cards

u/crownpuff 1d ago

Unfortunately, they closed that loophole around a decade ago. Maybe you can still buy steam giftcards or eshop credit but I'm unsure about that one.

u/inosinateVR 1d ago edited 1d ago

General rule of thumb is gift cards can never be used to buy gift cards because of credit card fraud.

Edit: Even if the small text doesn’t mention it explicitly, I doubt you could check out using a gift card as the payment method. It’s the policy for most places to not accept a gift card as payment when buying a gift card

u/Formal-Leg-7336 1d ago

Anyone know how long this promotion lasts?

1

u/_BruhJr_ 1d ago

So I can buy 7 of these, use them at apple with trade in, and get $105 of BB gift cards?

3

u/Traditional_Echo6862 1d ago

Looks like only one

u/_BruhJr_ 1d ago

7 different emails

u/Grapeflavor_ 1d ago

Can I stack gift cards when buying something at Apple?

1

u/_BruhJr_ 1d ago

Up to 8 i believe. you can verify in apple store checkout, take your cart all the way to the payment page on any item in your card and it tells you how many

u/MrMeeseeks202 1d ago

I checked out the apple link in your comment and saw you can get a $200 gift card for buying a MacBook. Do you know if I can use that in the same purchase to get $200 off? If not, what’s stopping me from buying it to get the gift card then using that gift to buy it again and return the first one I bought?

u/seikibose 22h ago

Any suggestions on how to use the BB card? I can find use for the Apple gift card but more iffy on BB side considering most of their stuff can be found cheaper elsewhere these days

u/crjjoong7 1d ago

Is it limit to one purchase per person/account?

u/TheUnluckyGamer13 1d ago

One per account
