    I think that's it, only this way, he'll be getting 18months free/no finance charge.
    He's still paying for the item, right?

    Not if he returned it. At least that's the way I'm reading it.

    I think by returning the Laptop, he now financed the 5 x 200$ girt cards.

    He's not getting it for free, or eveyone would be doing this, every day!

    He was approved for a line of credit of 1k through best buy but wanted a computer off a different site so he financed a best buy computer then returned it for gift cards since they wouldn't let you get gift cards straight off the line of credit. Then he used the gift cards to get the computer he wanted....he still has the best buy line if credit open that he has to repay...but instead of a bestbuy computer he has the one he wanted...

    Took me a couple reads, but I finally got it.

    Now here's something similar but not exactly. I have a friend who has an amex and he is a salesmen. Some folks know how salesmen can work... Well, he had a large bill to pay his amex, cause it needs to be paid every month, charge card, not credit. Well, it got out of hand and he went into an apple store, bought 10 imacs (with his amex) and then returned them and the credit that went back on the card showed as a payment. Now, he wasn't doing anything but extending his impending doom, but salesmen can get pretty sneaky just to buy another month...

    Oh yeah, I laughed at him and wished him all the luck.

    Newegg is worth what you went through. Haha
