A $30 gift card is good for three months membership. If you're a member, you get all three credits up front, but for a non-member, you get one a month. What's to stop you from using a gift card for three months, quitting, and then activating the next gift card? Nothing at all that I can see. The only caveat is that as always, you'd have to use up your existing credits before rebooting, but at a perpetual 33% discount, that doesn't seem a hardship to me. (And you could stretch out the times a bit, too. Quit at the end of the gift card membership and wait to re-up until you want another book or see a sale you want to participate in.)
It's not perfectly designed to maximize the value of the Best Buy gift card as you'd have to spend $60 and not $50, but the Best Buy gc could be viewed as an additional bonus.
