Can these discounts stack with the Best Buy offer?

No combination is established here. Best Buy is discounting the Red Lobster gift card itself, rather than offering a restaurant coupon that reduces a meal bill.

The other cards are alternative purchases. Their discounts do not reduce the $42.50 Best Buy price, so a “promotion plus discounted gift card” calculation would not apply.
