They will cancel all the orders. 

They don't need to offer any compensation either. They listed them incorrectly, or whatever. They clearly wouldn't sell a $200 gift card for $15. 

 

They don't have to honor the sale, and will just refund you. If you (as a customer) are upset about this, then you're just upset that you couldn't try and rip off a company.

My paypal was only charged $15, so this could be promising.

I got the confirmation email for mine...if it goes through my wife is getting all new appliances even though ours are only 4 years old, my 2yr old daughter is getting a new 3ds to match my sons and I'll be getting a couple more tvs and a couple laptops...I maxed out a disposable cc for the hell of it on this, if not, I'm out nothing more than the 5 seconds it took to fill in order info.

Best Buy told Business Insider Wednesday afternoon that it wouldn't be honoring the gift cards.

"Everyone makes mistakes and, unfortunately, we made one last night," a company spokesman said. "We regret the error and we are canceling all pending orders on the affected gift cards.”

This is similar to a glitch on Walmart’s website that popped up two years ago, and Walmart simply refunded customers, refusing to honor those sales. Best Buy has not yet responded publicly to the incident, but will most likely follow the same route.

Anyone really got any gift cards?

I spoke with a rep who said if anyone got giftcards, they will not be activated.

Apparently this "deal" has spread for couple hours. Some did get confirmation, but BestBuy can cancel order for "pricing error".

 

Bought 2, just don't expect much.

I got confirmation on all 5, lets see if they actually ship

It's obvious they won't allow this to happen, regardless if you got confirmation or not, a lot of people bought loads of cards, if best buy honor them then they will go bankrupt.

There is a chance that they accidentaly miss a couple of them though, and someone ends up getting a few.
