I have $110 in Best Buy gift certificates. I have one $50 credit card type certificate, one $25 credit card type, and seven $5 paper gift certificates from the Zoner thing. I want to buy an xbox. My cousin works at Target and can get me an employee discount over there. I obviously want to buy the xbox at Target instead of Best Buy. So if I buy something at Best Buy with all my cards and return it will they give me cash back or another card? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

They'll give you store credit if you return things.

Sell them on the FS/T forums. That is what I did. But you will not be able to get face value for them. You might just be better off using them to buy the xbox at Best Buy.

Go wait by the register and tell people your story and see if they will pay cash for them if they use them to make their purchase. Be discreet. Managers probably won't like it.

I'm thinking this is whats going to happen. Either way I'm still getting an xbox for $90. Thanks for your help everyone.
