Best Buy used to carry these “Gamer’s Gift Cards” which let you give your favorite gamer a sizable sum of Best Buy spending power along with a $5 coupon off of any video game $19.99 or more.
Now, if you think for a minute, what stops you from buying a bunch of these and using them on every game you purchase? Hell, why not buy one before you buy a game you’re about to buy and then buy said game with $5 off coupons? (How many times can I say “buy” and “game” in a sentence?)
It’s what I did for months. But now, after a few separate trips to Best Buy, I haven’t seen a single gawddamned one of them.
You make me sad Best Buy. Very, very sad. But, I got Puzzle Quest, so it’s all good, as they say.
This is the end of an era.
Note: I really can’t take credit for this “trick” but damn if it wasn’t nice while it was still available.
