iTunes gift card 20% off

Today Best Buy is selling 20% off a $100 iTunes gift card, shipped free.  The 20% discount is usually as good as it gets as a top line discount from retailers, although sometimes you can combine 20% off with category bonuses from Chase Freedom or Twitter/Facebook credit card promos from Amex.  Shop through a cashback site like Discover's ShopDiscover for another 5% off or so and join Best Buy's Reward Zone for another 2% back.  The only better deal is from Staples, when they discount their iTunes cards and then let you use coupons at the risk of being banned as a customer.

Over 40% off iTunes gift cards from Staples

(expires March 3)

Staples is selling two $25 iTunes gift cards for $40, or about 20% off.  You can buy up to $100 in face value under this promotion.  Staples is also pretty generous with its $25 off $75 purchase coupons, which you can find on eBay for about $4, and most sellers will e-mail these coupons very quickly.  So your total for $100 worth of gift cards will be:

• 4 * $25 = $100 face amount
• - $20 = $80 with 20% off Staples.com discount
• - $25 = $55 after coupon
• + $4 = $59 including cost of coupon from eBay (search for "staples 25 off 75")
• less your choice of shopping portal and credit card credits (ShopDiscover plus my SimplyCash Amex get me another $5 off total) = ~$55
