Best Buy is running a special promotion this weekend, August 22, where customers can purchase a $100 gift card for $60. This offer is part of the retailer's 60th Anniversary sale event and is available for one day only.
The deal is limited to one gift card per customer and quantities are restricted. Best Buy advises customers to arrive early, as a line management system and ticketing may be implemented if necessary. The promotion explicitly states "Limited quantities. No rainchecks."
In addition to the gift card deal, the in-store event is expected to feature sales on various products. These include Apple items such as MacBook computers and Beats headphones, as well as a limited drop of Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) products like First Partner Illustration Collection Boxes and Mega Evolution Pitch Black sealed products. While specific pricing has not been confirmed, these items are anticipated to be available at their Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), which could represent a significant saving compared to secondary market prices.
For instance, Pokémon TCG First Partner Illustration Collection Boxes, with an MSRP of $15, have been observed selling for $50 to $100 on resale platforms like TCGplayer. Similarly, an Elite Trainer Box, typically priced around $50-$60, has been listed for $70 on Amazon.
Best Buy's 60th Anniversary sale is also ongoing online through August 23, featuring other notable offers. Among these are discounts on video games, including Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth for Switch 2, available for $34.99 with an exclusive Zack Fair Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy card. Additionally, there is a $75 discount on either the Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Own Adventure Bundle or the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 console, with the potential for up to $130 in credit when trading in an original Nintendo Switch console.
