In preparation for Apple announcement of an Iphone, you can buy $100 gift cards for Apple store (digital) from bestbuy. You will get additional $10 GC to spend on Bestbuy + 5% if using BB credit card.

PS. Maximum you can get is $100+$15 if using Bestbuy's credit card. One gift card per order. If you want 2 gift cards then buy them separately one after another in 2 individual transactions.
Maximum you can purchase 2 gift cards in 24hr - if you bought at 9 PM, then the next you will be able to rebuy another 2 next day no earlier than 9PM.
PS2. You can load them to Apple balance. Please keep in mind it might be locked for fraud when adding many cards, thus I would prefer to keep it as a GC. Keeping as a GC you can only spend 8 towards your purchase.
Loading them into Apple account is fine, but has some consequences that you need to reach out to customer service of apple to unblock your apple account balance - sometimes it blocks and you can't make a purchase.
PS3. If you decided to apple balance, then use this Youtube guide to add your balance as an Apple pay card to shop in physical store.
