Are these being discontinued?  Im having a hard time finding them at stores now and i had gotten into the habbit of buying these things constantly.  Now they seem to be out of stock everywhere and noone knows how to order more?

One supervisor told me they just dont restock them during the holidays to push people into buying bestbuy gift cards instead.  so whats the deal?

Hello paycheck,

Welcome to the forums!

I think you’re referring to the Best Buy Visa branded gift cards.  If you would like me to reach out to your local store to check their inventory, I’ll be happy to.  Unfortunately, if there’s none available then we’ll have to wait until the store gets more in stock.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

the store manager at the store closest to me which would be north canton, oh said they are discontinued.  Is that correct?

[Jimmienomam]

It could be for that store. Each store chooses if they want these or not. The central OH stores all chose not to carry them

how about the north eastern ohio stores?  Im in NE ohio

theres the store on howe road and the store in north canton.  Id like it if either of those decided to carry them.

Like I said they choose to carry them or not. Not sure if these items go through specific decks. IE the mods here can check which deck it is in the system which will denote how they view the product, but I believe these follow a different guideline when it comes to decks.

I would say if the local store says that they will
Not be getting more then they wouldn't be getting anymore at that store

do you know if it is possible to get them in 500 increments rather than the current 200s?

I suppose i can start using the walmart cards if i have to but i hate going to the walmart by my house because the people there are very trashy. 

You cant go into that WM store without stepping in a bag of sugar some kid knocked onto the ground or seeing half consumed 2 liter bottles on the shelves.

No 200 is the limit at BBYs
