Buyer Beware for the Best Buy GC. This is no fault of AARP. If you purchase one of these, I would NOT recommend using towards an online purchase through Best Buy. I used one before but the item I was trying to purchase was out of stock. Best Buy would not give me the 5.00 back towards another purchase. Best Buy told me that I can only use the gift card once. My opinion is that since the item was out of stock, they could’ve easily returned and allowed me to reuse that same gift card, since it was never used. I will never purchase a Best Buy GC. Again, it’s no fault of AARP.

Thanks for the warning @Rocky818 . I had NOT planned on using it "online". Sounds like this was "maybe" a LOCATION "decision". Did you contact the CORPORATE OFFICE?

You’re very welcome. Great idea to use it in store only. These experiments are definitely important to share. I wouldn’t want anyone else to experience that same thing.
