Best credit card to use at Best Buy.

Electronics StoresOnline Shopping

Best Buy is the largest U.S. specialty electronics retailer, with about 950 stores and a strong bestbuy.com presence. In-store and online purchases generally code as electronics or online shopping rather than as a department store, so the answer here usually comes down to a flat online-retail card or a flat-rate card. The My Best Buy Visa offers in-house financing and 5-6% back at Best Buy specifically, but the math only works for shoppers spending several thousand dollars a year on electronics.
