C'mon guys, let's let this one die.
Homer, here's your explanation: Best Buy was advertising it for that price on their web site for a few hours. It was a MISTAKE. Within those few hours, they were flooded by AT'ers and others with orders. That's probably where all the rainchecks came from - people saw it online, and got the rainchecks from the B&M stores.
I believe BB decided NOT to give the card away at that price. It's caused quite a controversy (especially in this forum). Many topics have been locked over this issue.
In other words, this deal is effectively DEAD. Don't even bother trying to take advantage of this.
I felt you were owed this explanation before:
MODS, PLEASE LOCK.
