If only the PS5 I just bought on Mercari (and may be a fake) were as authentic as your bands.

Edit: Seller is not communicating and I am guessing he won't ship. New account probably thinking he could get away with taking my money not realizing he has to ship and be rated first.
 
Yeah so the two keys are this:

1) Safari not the app

2) It’s gonna be hidden in Other Payment Options *below* where it just has regular credit card number. Not the usual obvious Apple Pay button location, which it takes away, and why it seems like they won’t let you use Pay. You click Other Payment Options and it begrudgingly gives you the option

Thanks @jamieinoc for this
The deal is live. Let me use Apple Pay right up front with the big button but for now seems it’s limited to one per customer. Granted I did try to do it very quickly.

Update: it cancelled my order but it looks like my order for a physical gift card went through. And it does say here one per person.

Update 2: can’t even get one to stick, physical or digital, app or safari, Apple Pay or card number; maybe I’m in too early...let me know if you make it work and get your gift cards

Full set, i found a nike series 2 for 100, band seems to be in great shape. I’ll just trade in the watch for a gift card.

Seems like a hassle to buy a watch and flip it just to get a band (unless it's something really rare and valuable like a Celestial Teal or Ultraviolet). If you keep your eyes peeled, I'm sure a band will come along at a decent price.
I recently bought the same watch just for the box.

Figured I could flip the band and watch separately, but now I’m gifting the band overseas and keeping the watch for a few combinations I wanted to try with silver alum.

I'm having the same results. Disappointing.

I just got off the phone with BB customer service. According to them, my bank is blocking the card. She didn't seem phased when I explained that I have tried 2 cards (all of which show a pending transaction), PayPal, and Apple Care. Her recommendation was to use a different card... I explained I had done that. Her next recommendation was to wait until tomorrow and try again.

Retailers don't seem to want to take anyone's money in 2020. Looking at you, Sony...
 
Absolutely crazy that no one at Best Buy is like “hey chief, I wonder why we haven’t sold any $100 Apple Gift Cards since Wednesday night?”

Unless all of us on here took advantage of the autumn gift card deal and that’s why we’re being locked out? Just tried again, no luck.

I would try it, but I don’t know what I’d buy from either parties with the gift cards.

Absolute sh*tshow. They not only lost my business on the gift card, but I've purposely committed to NOT doing any further shopping there for the holidays. I traditionally have done a lot of electronics purchases there, but I can see those days are done. Thanks for the update. BTW, I did take advantage of the fall gift card deal.

Yeah the fact that they don’t sell solo loops makes me less pressed. It was fun being impatient on the sport loops and paying $35-$40 for each this fall, but I’m gonna challenge myself to really wait and get them at dump prices in spring.

I was able to purchase a $100.00 digital Apple gift card and also received the $20.00 bonus BB gift card last night 8:00pm with no trouble.

Also, took advantage of the autumn deal.

Has anyone had issues with Best Buy open box bands? I ordered a few and this was the first one to arrive.
