Why is there an AMEX symbol on back of BB gift card?

[Wheatmaster]

does it mean i can use it somewhere else? 🙂

I think it means that AMEX manufactures the card.

Confirmed and official. There's also a little scratch-off box with a 4-digit code behind it. Hrmmm 🙂

ok so all i do is scratch the box on the back of the BB gift card, and then it basically turns into an AMEX gift card?

I thought it meant that Best Buy's gift card transactions are run on the Amex network? I would be *really* surprised if they'll let you use them anyplace else but BB.

Yea I agree as it is somewhat of a logistical nightmare to sell a GC at thousands of stores that will be valid at any of the other stores. It would be much easier to pay someone like Amex who has a similar enough network to use.
