: Certificates expire at 11:59 p.m. CT on the date shown on the certificate.

Best Buy reward certificates typically last for from the date they are issued. However, the exact duration can vary, and you should always check the specific expiration date printed on the certificate or listed in your digital wallet. Key Expiration Details

: Unless you have "Point Banking" enabled, certificates are automatically issued once you reach a certain point threshold (e.g., 250 points for a $5 certificate). The 60-day clock starts as soon as they are issued.

: A certificate must be used in a single transaction; if your purchase is less than the certificate's value, you will not receive change or credit for the remaining balance.

: While issued certificates have a short life, My Best Buy points generally do not expire as long as your account has "qualifying activity" (at least one purchase) every 24 months. Tips to Avoid Losing Rewards

: Best Buy typically sends an email notification when a new reward certificate is issued, which will include the specific expiration date.

: If you have a My Best Buy credit card or high-tier membership, you can often choose to "bank" your points . This prevents certificates from being automatically created, allowing you to wait and issue them only when you are ready to make a purchase.
