Saw this today in the store and looked it up online. Seems like free money unless I am missing something?

Buy $100 of gift cards, get $10 off instantly. Limit 5 per household.

Can only use these cards, though:
Best Buy
Sears
Itunes
Applebees
Bed Bath & Beyond
Bass Pro Shop
Pottery Barn
Spa Finder

1. Go to Kroger
2. Get 5x $100 best buy gift cards for $450
3. Go buy something $500+ at best buy
4. ...
5. $50 profit?

This, of course, involves finding something at bestbuy/sears that isn't too marked up in the first place :p

Edit: Also works in all the other grocery stores owned by Kroger (there's like 40).
 
Great way for a TV or appliance shopper to work a better deal (BestBuy + Sears)
 
Cool, but I didn't think you could use that many gift cards on a single item at Best Buy.
 
Anyone actually get the site to work? I can't get it to find any stores anywhere.
 
I guess the real question, at least for me, is whether best buy employees can use the employee discount when paying with gift cards. If so, I'm going to have to hit this deal up.
 
Thanks again for posting this. I just picked up $200 in Best Buy gift cards for $180, which I promptly spent on a new graphics card.
