Points, Policies & Certificates

[Kcorai87]

I am planning on purchasing my nephew some items for his birthday using my reward certificates.  I plan on giving a gift receipt incase he does not like what I get him.  What will happen to the funds if the items are returned?

From the website for Rewards 

If I return an item where reward certificates were used, do I get them back?

Yes. If you made a purchase using reward certificates and your order is returned or canceled, we will refund the points to your My Best Buy account within 3–6 business days.

So, essentially the points would be credited back to your account.

Do you live in a locale where they expire? In California where I live they never expire per CA Law.
