Its too late to save the offer to your card. Not too late to redeem it.

If you are spending a lot at Best Buy, remember to enroll in their loyalty program and identify yourself as a member when you check out. You can find yourself with a handsome Best Buy credit in a few weeks.

What kind of credit are we talking ?

Earn 1 point per dollar spent. IME, when buying VGC, points are earned on the load amount and also on the fee. A $5 reward certificate is issued after 15 days for every 250 points earned. Maximize the offer: buy thirty four $200 VGC, pay with thirty five Amex cards, earn $140 certificate.
Have AU cards with other people's names? Some cashiers make sure your CC matches your ID, so either invite the AU to join you or find another cashier. Even among those cashiers who verify the name, if it's a business card and the business name happens to be your own name, that could help a lot.

Between Discover Card/Apple Pay promo and the BB Amex Offer I've received ~$200 in BB rewards credit.

I learned today that my local Best Buy's policy on gift cards is a max of $6000/person. They had 29 $200 VGCs left and after checking my ID and triple-checking store policy, they let me get them all. Glad I made one more stop today to see if they had restocked!

I've been getting 205 points per $200 VGC. See attached.

You earn points when you buy BB or Visa or other gift cards. When you use BB gift cards to buy stuff, you don't earn points.

I haven't taken the time to research info and learn how to get/take advantage of multiple Amex offers, but I have gotten a few GCs at BB. You can also add shopkick to the mix and it does work. I did try out the angle just because. Take off with miles has a good write up. Can't remember if links are allowed or not.
