Granted it's only a deal if you're going to spend money at B&N anyway, but it works out for me.
I considered that, but quickly realized that I'd lose the protections provided by my credit card (additional 1 year warranty, theft/loss protection, annual rebate). I'd also lose the advantages of buying from Best Buy (30 day return policy, $5 from Reward Zone).

Together, these protections and added value add up to more than the $20 I'd save from a B&N purchase.
