Best Buy certificates

Best Buy points can be converted into a Best Buy Certificate starting at 250 points for a $5 certificate.

These certificates can be used in-store or online. When using them in-store, you'll be asked for the phone number connected to your account or membership number. When shopping online, you'll be give the option to use your certificates when checking out.

You can set up your account preferences to automatically cash your points out for certificates or to bank points until you're ready to use them. I highly recommend banking them because certificate have expiration dates and you could end up letting certificates go bad if you forget that you have them.

There is no limit to the amount of certificates you can use, but do note that they cannot exceed the pre-tax cost of the purchase. So if something costs $4.99 before tax, you would not be able to use the $5 Best Buy Certificate even through the cost after tax would be more than $5.
