Paying Dues with a Gift Card

[Masterbetatesta]

Was able to get 8 more tonight. 3 cards x2 on the business account, 1 ea. for my personal accounts.

Waiting to receive the first card and buying another on the personal account is no longer working as of this time around, but some are reporting they can order more than 1 per day on their personal? Am I doing something wrong?

I don't wait between placing the two orders (1 card per order) on my (personal) account. This approach has worked for me since they started 3 days ago.

So you place one order, then place another one right after? I'll try that tomorrow.

It is sad, my bank started to decline to purchases. Now I have to call and see what is going on

Just realized you could do two 3-card transactions with a business account. Just did that today, I'm up to 11 cards now. Only need to do this same thing for the next 10 days and I'll be able to pay off my dues! lol

They haven't posted how much the dues are yet. Are you just going to buy as much as the dues were last year? I'm not sure when to stop.

Looks like we will know on the 18th assuming the site is back up then.

Remember if you have any extra you can use them for your next trip on food, merch etc

You can calculate based on how many points you have.

You stop when they cancel your order. Just keep going. Remember, you can use any extras you have to buy more points, don’t waste them on silly things like food

That gives you a rough idea but has always been off for me and I'm using the 4 decimal places when doing the calculations

Remember, the actual bill you get in December will likely have various adjustments, most often related to property taxes that were higher or lower than estimated. So while the amount of dues for 2023 will equal the amount calculated by using the charts quoted, the final bill will probably be higher or lower than that.

Sure, but it's good enough for the purposes of buying enough $50 increment gift cards and any extra could be used for food/merch.

I did that under my business account on Tuesday & will not let me purchase any more as of today. I have bought 2x day on DH account so I'm up to 10 cards.

 

[Masterbetatesta]

Maybe there's a 10 card limit. I'll update you when I make an attempt to get 6 more tonight.

If the business account uses the same address as the personal account, and you’re using the same payment method. You can trigger one of your uses from the personal account. My wife bought one card on the personal one day and I was limited that same day to only 1 business purchase.

The next time you hit the 24 hours, try buying with the business account first.

Yea I did 2 the first day using a personal account, then 3 the next after converting the the account to a business one, and then 6 yesterday. Haven’t been able to buy any today.

Both my personal and my wife's personal accounts are the same billing address but each credit card is under a different name. I tried ordering two times with mine and not waiting for the GC to arrive before ordering a second and it worked. I tried the same thing with my wife's and both were cancelled. I think the max with the 2 accounts together is 2 per day.

I was still able to order 6 total with the business account after. Same billing address, my name, different type of card from the personal.

Best Buy has been cancelling all the gift card orders from my family's 3 accounts

Are you ordering them from the same device? I found that if you sign on to different accounts to order but using the same device then they'll cancel the orders.

I was able to do one order of 3 cards again last night, but they wouldn't let me do a second order. Up to 14 cards now.
