Best Buy will sell $100 gift cards for $60 at its physical stores this Saturday, August 22nd, in a one-day promotion tied to the retailer鈥檚 60th anniversary. The deal applies only to in-store purchases and is limited to available stock at each location, so shoppers who want to take advantage may need to arrive near opening time. The discount effectively provides $40 in savings on any eligible purchase from Best Buy.
The gift cards come with restrictions on how they can be used. They cannot be applied toward the purchase of other gift cards, including iTunes or Google Play credit, nor can they be used for prepaid or open-loop debit cards. However, the cards can be combined with other discounts or promotions on merchandise, and any returns or cancellations will be refunded back to the gift card balance.
This offer arrives alongside Best Buy鈥檚 broader 60th anniversary sale, which includes several product discounts that could pair with the gift card. The iPad Air M4 is listed at $649, described as the lowest price seen since its increase over the summer. The AirPods Max 2 are available for $429, which is $120 below their typical cost.
The sale also extends to laptops, with a variety of Windows and macOS models discounted. One example is the HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1, priced at $749.99, representing a $450 reduction from its usual price. These deals are available in addition to the gift card offer, allowing shoppers to stack the savings on qualifying items.
For US consumers, this represents a rare opportunity to buy a gift card at a significant discount, as such promotions are uncommon. The one-day nature of the deal and the store-only requirement mean it is limited to those who can visit a Best Buy location on Saturday. The promotion is not available online, based on the details provided in the announcement.
The gift card deal was highlighted as the best such offer spotted this year by the reporting outlet. While the card cannot be used for certain payment products, its flexibility with other sales and promotions makes it applicable to a wide range of electronics and appliances. Shoppers interested in the offer should confirm availability at their local store before heading out.
