Did anyone order from Best buy and checkout show a $200 BB gift card included ? The best buy web site shows you get a $100 best buy E - gift card with purchase of pixel or xl. Well when I ordered my black xl with payment plan on a new account the offers came up on checkout one was a $200 gift card and the 2nd option was the $100 gift card. The $200 gift card option listed something about available until 11-13-16 I believe. Any way I picked the $200 gift card I just hope that is what I get just because their web site only lists the $100 e gift at the main purchase pages. Unless the $200 one is a verizon one ?

Any way I ordered the black xl 32 gig model. I wanted 128 gig but bb does not sell the 128 gig. Another odd thing is during checkout verizon required me to port in a number from another carrier ? Maybe that is part of the $200 gift card. Guess I should have taken a screen shot of those offers for my proof so I for sure get the $200 gift card and not the $100 e gift card which is a bb one.

Also odd thing they showed the black xl 32 gig in stock at local best buy stores where the ship options showed 11-2-16 for 2 day shipping and 11-7-16 for free shipping those being expected delivery dates, so they estimated mine for pick up today being ordered today, where verizons web site lists them as being back ordered until 11-9-16 but this bb deal is better with the gift card plus a free chromecast.

So if anyone wanting a good buy check out best buy and chime in if you got a $100 or $200 gift card coming and if you can tell if your gc is a bb or verizon one ? The $200 one listed verizon promotion so hope the $200 is a verizon one and I will add it to my verizon bills lol.

The $200 gift card is for a new line of Verizon service at Best Buy. It's been going on for a couple weeks. I bought an iPhone 7 in store last week and received it at the time of the purchase. The gift card is for Best Buy, and I was able to use part of it to pay for tax on the phone. The following terms indicate the gift card will be delivered after an online purchase. The $100 would also be a Best Buy gift card, but it would go to Verizon customers that are not getting a new line of service.

I originally tried to order the phone on bestbuy.com and the first way i did it it gave me the option of a $150 gift card then i tried to open a new line on my account and it gave me the option for a $200 gift card..... couldnt get it to work online but went into a store and got my new pixel xl with a $200 gift card....... Last week i dont think the offer is valid anymore though

No actually the $100 best buy e card was the first option, where option # 2 was the $200 gift card. After searching the net I believe the $200 gift card is also best buy one. I wish it was a verizon gift card to pay my verizon bills with lol.

The list the offer for $200 gift card is extended to 11-13-16 I believe but it is still in effect for sure.

I had a not so fun experience with best buy on line order of a black pixel xl 32 gig. I ordered like 6am on saturday morning. The web site listed in stock and for pick up that day so I pulled the trigger. So like 9:12 am est saturday morning I got an email and text both showing the order was ready for pick up. So I made a 35 mile drive to get to the store to pick it up. I was there an hour guy couldnt find the phone then they tell me oh only the free chromecast that came with the order was there lol. I was like wtf your email and text did not list only part of the order was in. So I asked to speak to the sales guys boss and explained hey this was not right I feel that you should be able to give me a gift card for wasting my saturday afternoon and my wasted gas. He said oh I cant do anything. So I said I would like to talk to the store manager and he refused also said he cant just give out gift cards. I said then how about you at least take back the chromecast that I really had no use for and just give me a gift card for its value and he said he couldnt, I think doing that was not being anything but fair and no deal. So I was going to write down his name and he gave me his best buy business card. I said ok I will call customer service about it when I get home.

So I did and the woman looked my order up and she said yeah shes not sure why their web site let me select store pick up when the pixel xl is on back order until 11-7-16 She apologized and said there was nothing she could do on the phone not shipping until 11-7-16, and I said well I just feel like I got the run around and wasted my saturday afternoon and 70 miles of driving gas as 35 miles each way. So she offered me a $50 best buy gift card I was shocked as I was expecting less of a gift card maybe half that. I thanked her and said I felt that was more than fair and I really appreciated it.

The gist of it is best buy at their stores no longer have a 100% customer satisfaction policy anymore, and either cant do anything to make things right or they just plain refuse to, but if you call customer service they are more willing to listen and be fair and make things right, well actually for me they more than made things right which I appreciated what they did to fix the situation.

How did you manage to use it to pay the taxes ? I thought they list you get the card after you activate as in they send it to you ? Or did you purchase out right if that makes any difference as mine is on the payment plan lol

I ordered Saturday ( yesterday ) from Best buy and I just already got the $200 bb gift card emailed to me. I was shocked figured they would wait to send it until after the pixel xl was activated. A nice surprise, the card being a verizon gift card would have been more nice but hey cant look a gift horse in the mouth lol or at least we shouldnt lol. Would be nice if you could use a best buy gift card on your verizon bill and being bb is a verizon dealer they could really do that if they decided to and verizon just credit back bb for it, but yeah that would be having your cake and eating it too lol.

Use it this way

A BB gift card is good for anything BB sells, purchase a visa gift card with the BB card
Problem solved profit.

I bought it on the payment plan, since that was listed in the terms, and the Best Buy outright price is higher. If you buy in store you get the gift card at the time of the phone sale, so they allowed me to use the gift card on the sale. When I returned the iPhone the Best Buy employee only found two stores in my state that listed having the Pixel currently in stock.

Mine had the pixel xl listed in stock but it was wrong and its on back order. I got an email the day after with my $200 best buy gift card. It definitely makes up for the phone being overpriced.

My best buy order of my pixel xl 32 gb that I placed on 6am est saturday the 29th was estimated to be on back order until 11-7-16 then yesterday the 31st I got a ship email from best buy and the UPS tracking showed it actually got picked up. Crazy thing is I didnt pay extra for shipping but they must have given me free overnight shipping because UPS shows its for delivery today so yeah that is one day shipping lol. Very much a nice surprise
