Possible 1,250 AA miles with $200 Best Buy purchase (via SimplyMiles)

When I logged in to write a post a little while ago about the American Airlines SimplyMiles deal for AARP membership, I came across two potentially stacking deals for Best Buy: one to earn 1,000 bonus AA miles when you spend $200 or more on a linked card and a second offer to earn 250 bonus AA miles when you spend $200 or more. I don't know for sure that these offers will stack, but if you sync them to the same card I don't see why they wouldn't.

The Deal

Key Terms

t
• Offers expire 5/31/20
t
• Excludes Best Buy Express, Geek Squad services made outside of Best Buy, Best Buy Parts Store, Best Buy Direct, Best Buy Education, Best Buy Ignite, Best Buy Secondary Markets, Best Buy Private Store & Auction or as standalone Pacific Sales stores.

t
• Offer valid for instore and online purchases.

Quick Thoughts

Remember that you need to first add the offer to your SimplyMiles-linked Mastercard and then use that card to check out at Best Buy online or in-store. You should be able to still go through a shopping portal as well. It looks like Rakuten is currently offering 1x.

Note that the terms exclude gift card purchases. I don't know whether or not that is enforced.

If these offers do indeed stack, they make for a decent return on a $200 purchase if you're buying something from Best Buy anyway. Note though that these expire soon - on 5/31/20.
