Just FYI. I cashed out my Ebates for a Best Buy gift card about 6 months ago and they would not let me use it in the store, even for merchandise. They said I'd have to use it online. I don't think they were just giving me a rough time either. The email I got with the gift card didn't even have a bar code, just a number and it was lacking a PIN number that is typically on BB gift cards. I haven't used the gift card yet, but I did put in a "fake" order right to the point before your confirm your order to see if it was valid online and it was.
