Unless they are cards that specifically say $200 value versus being a variable load card so the system may only let it be $200 on initialization.
I doubt they go through though. It was worth a shot.

This is genius by Best Buy... Remember the great WalMart glitch a few years back, the birth of KayakGAF?
A few people got in on TVs, WalMart was all over the news, a Gaffers picture was on Good Morning America..
All Best Buy needs to do is honor a few of these orders, have a few people confirm shipments, and they can steal some of Amazons thunder in the media tomorrow.. All because of a "glitch" and the only need to honor a few orders..

On an actual Amazon note, wonder what price that HP Stream 7 tablet will be in the morning. Curious to try one out to put W10 on there and use it mainly as a Steam streaming machine.
...tried to get a few of the BB cards too.

This thread is madness, I thought I could just peacefully wait for 00:00 PST. Can anyone fill me in on what's going on and where I should be refreshing?
I can get my order review screen. The Thank you URL takes me to homepage.

This is all just a ploy to tie up everyone's money so they will not buy anything from Amazon Prime day. Orders will be cancelled the minute after Prime day ends!
My order went through did express shipping hope it goes through.
Did you order 26 cards?
Did you order 26 cards?
nearly 160k views on slickdeals
over 25k views on cag
including all other outlets likely over 200k people have looked at this deal and on average ordered at least 2.
400k *185 = 74 million. 74 million dollars lost if best buy doesn't cancel these at the min lol.
to be fair... they could afford it (as best buy has been turning it around and are worth a lot more than a lot of people think and have been making money for a while again.) but I couldn't see them doing that at this point.

We're all here picking out what TVs we're going to buy, knowing there's no chance the orders go through. It's fucking great.
4k here I come!

Best case scenario honestly is that Best Buy honors only one card per order. I cannot see them honoring every single one.

I think at best people who only ordered one will get $5 credit.
Well someone at Bestbuy picked up on this because the cards are gone from their site now. The 200$ one is completely gone, and the 75$ one is now changed to the right price. If i wake up to a confirmation i will literally laugh so damn hard, because i never get lucky with these things.
As soon as I saw that people were ordering 50+..yeah. Maybe they'll honor one per person if they are feeling generous.

If they honor them..
If this is works. I will have to send back the one I got on Amazon yesterday.
Thats what im thinking. If somehow some way Bestbuy is like lets honor these it was our mistake blah blah. They will only honor 1 card per order dont matter how many you ordered. But again this is 99.9999% not gonna happen and it will just be cancelled.

Well, I was able to order a ton of them. These will definitely get canceled, but hey, a man can dream!
Yeah, for sure.

BB will give some sort of credit probably, no way they're taking a 70 million L for a pricing error.

If they really want to compete with Amazon, it means honoring pricing errors!
