Best Buy launching ‘Give It To Win It’ gift card contest

by Jennifer Osieczanek · December 6, 2013

With Best Buy’s Give It To Win It promotion, you could win a gift card for purchasing one for someone else.

‘Tis better to give than to receive.

But what if you could receive, too?

Best Buy announced it’s “Give It To Win It” contest this week, a promotion where buying a gift card for someone else could net you one of your own.

And the return could be huge. As long as the gift card you purchase is worth at least $25, you’ll be eligible to win one worth up to $10,000.

Here’s the scoop:

Between Dec. 11 and Dec. 24, customers who purchase a Best Buy gift card — either in store or online — valued at $25 or more are eligible to win.

Once you’ve bought the gift card, there are two ways to enter.

If you’ve got Best Buy’s mobile app, there will be a “Give It To Win It” icon that you tap to scan the back of the purchased gift card. Then just complete the entry form.

You can also enter online at BestBuy.com/GiveToWin. You’ll need the gift card number and customer service number from the in-store receipt or order number from your online confirmation email.

Each gift card you purchase is worth one entry into the contest and will be eligible for that day’s drawing only. There is also a limit of 10 entries per day.

There will be more than 50 winners daily during the two-week contest. Each day one $10,000 Best Buy gift card will be awarded. Other prizes include: Five $500 gift cards, 10 $100 gift cards and 40 $50 gift cards for the electronics retailer.
