$90 Gift Card for Best Buy

My workplace bought thousands and thousands of dollars in software from Best Buy randomly and I got to put all the points on my Reward Zone card.

I now have $90 to spend there. What should I get? My initial leaning is just to try to load up on cheap blu-rays.

Why are you looking to spend it?

Does it expire soon?

Hold onto it until you need to purchase new technology.

Can you actually put a deposit on a pre-order with a gift card?

1. New Asus HD Memopad Tablet for $149 which comes out next month or two. Will be the best tablet made yet in that price range (or possibly the new Nexus 7 one which comes out around the same time).

2. You can get a solid solid digital camera for $100-150. I'd recommend the Canon ELPH 110 or the Sony WX50 which should both be on BB.

3. Have something called patience and hold on to the gift card until you actually need to use it.

Or buy your cables off Amazon for a fraction of the price and get $90 headphones that sound just as good if not better than Beats.

Still not sure if serious.

What if you already have a PS3? $300-400 more for almost the exact same console...meh. Keep playing the PS3 since they'll still be making games for it and then buy PS4 once the price goes down and PS3 games stop.

Buy movies. Buy a TV series you have been itching to watch. Buy video games. Buy candy bars.

You win. I checked the expiration date and it isn't until January.

Where I live it's against the law for gift cards to expire.
