“The best thing about the offer” implies there are several other good points to the offer, the best part is the price. This is because you chose the top descriptor of how good things are, due to good->better->best.

Depending on your tone and facial expressions/body language, “The best thing about the offer” delivered in a downcast or sullen tone, may also imply that the offer sucks, but at least the price is acceptable.
