Best Buy Turns 60, Sells $100 Gift Cards for $60 Because Math
KEY POINTS
- ā¢Best Buy is marking its 60th anniversary on August 22nd with a one-day only discounted $100 gift card for $60.
- ā¢The gift cards canāt be used to buy other gift cards or prepaid debit cards, but work with other Best Buy discounts.
- ā¢Discounted products available include the iPad Air M4 for $649, AirPods Max 2 for $429, and the HP OmniBook X Flip for $749.
On Saturday, August 22nd, Best Buy, proudly celebrating its 60th anniversary like a tech-version of a high school reunion nobody knew about, decided to shock the retail world by letting customers buy $100 gift cards for just $60 ā but only while supplies last, which means some enthusiastic early birds may experience cardio chasing these deals. Meanwhile, the company insists the cards canāt buy other gift cards, like iTunes or Google Play, nor prepaid debit cards, because apparently, Best Buy draws a firm but baffling line in gift card-ception. But do not worry, these almost-free cards are happily compatible with discounts on pricey goodies like the $649 iPad Air M4, $429 AirPods Max 2, and a $749 HP OmniBook X Flip. Be prepared for brisk early morning store camping, because the celebration is fleeting like a Windows update on a deadline.
