A bit of inconvenient news about Best Buy gift cards now. Speedway introduced a new limit on Best Buy gift cards in the last few days. You used to be able to buy variable load Best Buy gift cards with up to $500 loaded to each one, but they’ve now placed a $250 limit per card.
That’s a little annoying because it means that instead of buying a handful of $500 cards you’ll have to buy two handfuls of $250 cards. Still, it could have been a far more negative change, so we’ll count our blessings.
Speedway is a popular place to buy Best Buy gift cards because all third party gift card purchases earn 20 Speedy Rewards points per dollar. Those points can be worth ~2%, so if you have access to high resale rates, that 2% plus all the rewards you can earn by paying with a card which earns more at gas stations makes it a great way to stock up.
