I just thought about it. BB should not have charged tax on a gift card in the first place. The $50 gift card is a
form of payment. It can not be applied until after they total up the phone. This will be $199.99
+ tax. Then they take of $50 for the GC and you owe the rest.
For those who paid tax on the GC, BB will have to manually adjust the price of the phone (or work some other magic) so you don't get cheated out of the tax you paid on the GC.
