    DDR2 Woes

    Best buy Gift Card $10 w/$100, $25 w/$250, $50 w/$500 purchase

    Normally how it works is they deduct the cost of the gift card from the original merchandise, meaning you pay less, but your buying a gift card. Meaning if you return the item without the ten dollar gift card they give you ten bucks less... doesn't stop no receipt returns though...
