Hey awardtrail readers, heads up! Best Buy's offering a sweet little deal right now: snag a $100 Apple e-gift card and they'll toss in a bonus $10 Best Buy e-gift card. It's basically free money if you're already planning on buying something from Apple or Best Buy.
Now, while it's not the absolute best deal we've seen (that Cyber Monday offer was killer!), it's still a solid option. This is especially relevant if you're sitting on a credit card perk that's about to expire, like that $200 "Splurge" credit from the Strata Elite card or an AmEx Offer like the $250/$25 deal.
Why is this important? Because those credits usually have an expiration date (December 31st!), and this is an easy way to use them up before you lose them. Don't wait until the last minute though-- try to complete the purchase a couple of days early to avoid any potential headaches. Happy spending!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
