Depends on what you set up your auto pay to do. If you only pay the minimum payment, you won't pay it off by the expiration date of the promotion.
If you have muultiple purchases on the card, let say after your promotional purchase you make a standard purchase (not on a promotion) in order to get rewards points. This, being a balance that will accrue interest, will cause your payment to be applied differently and not to the promotional balance. The only way to apply it differently is to notify Citibank you want it applied differently, otherwise it follows the requirements of the Credit CARD Act of 2009.
When you spoke to an agent and manager, did you call Citibank at 1-888-574-1301? The Best Buy Credit Card is fully operated by them, so they would be the best to contact in regards to the interest fees. Best Buy has limited visibility and no access to your account to assist.

One thing - Minimum Payments are a suggestion and I believe Best Buy does suggest reccomended monthly payments with their card, although these payments can fluxuate depending on the cost of the item. Generally you should make at least an equal payment divided by the total and the amount of months you have to pay the item.
As jdogg836 suggests and I've seen this at checkout, you have a choice with the BBY card to get mega points or you can get the interest free promo.
At this time calling Citi Bank / Best Buy card servicing would be best to help you.
