I would like to see automatic subscriptions not be a thing with Best Buy. 

I purchased a new computer for myself 12 months ago.  In the shopping cart I removed Webroot (which was free).

 

In May I purchased a new computer for my father.  This time I didn't remove Webroot. When I to my fathers place I  tossed Webroot in the garbage.  I set up my fathers computer. I did not activate Webroot. I did not register Webroot.

 

During checkout it does show Webroot Internet Security + Antivirus 2018 (3-Device) (6 Month Subscription) 

 

Last month I received a notice from my Best Buy Credit card that I was charged for a renewal on my Webroot subscription.

 

Nowhere along the line did I agree to a subscription. Further it should not have even activated.

 

You can go into your account and remove the subscription.  But you should not have to.  

 

What I would like for this suggestion is 

Best Buy does not Automatically enroll you in a subscription.

During checkout you should have to check a box to enable Automatic renewal. 

To whom it may concern,

 

I think I speak for thousands of Best Buy employees and customers across the United States/Canada who depend upon Best Buy for our gaming necessities. As a best buy employee I even found enthusiasm in offering Gamers Club Unlocked to my customers. We as a community of enthusiasts implore Best Buy to re-institute Gamers Club Unlocked or an updated membership with similar benefits. Without this membership to unite gamers to Best Buy, I see no link to keep gaming customers purchasing from Best Buy. Thank you.

I think Best Buy should fix their phone systems. As I live 41 miles from the nearest Best Buy, I depend on calling them before I get there to ensure what I am looking for is there. Here, IF you call the California, Natomas Store, you get the Elk Grove store, and in turn, they transfer you to the Natomas store. Per conversation from the associates, the Elk Grove associates are generally busy, and do not have time to answer the phones, and are even worse at transferring calls. IF you call the Chico store, you get the Redding store. I have talked to the California, Natomas, Assistant Manager, Trevor. He states this is a normal operation for their stores, and if you want to talk to the Natomas store, when you call it, you need to use and extension number. NONE OF THE EXTENSION NUMBERS ARE POSTED. How hard would it be to add a que to say, if you want the Natomas store hit extension..XXXX? Nothing is impossible, and I am sure it would require a minor tweak to the phone systems if they are already pre-integrated. 

I have an idea, that perhaps the movie buying team isn't aware of. Westcoast Canadian SteelBook® Collectors, like myself, drive to Best Buy Bellingham to purchase SteelBooks® and I know I'm not alone in doing this; I just met a fellow Canadian Collector at the store yesterday. I would suggest it might be a good idea to ensure ALL Best Buy SteelBook® releases are available for purchase at the Bellingham location, not just "Available today at a store ___ miles away from Bellingham", as has been the case for some more recent releases. Thanks.

I would like to see Best Buy copy the program they have up in Canada at FutureShop for video game steelbooks. It would be great to get more exclusive video game steelbooks as pre-order bonuses. Best Buy here in the USA does offer steelbooks for video games but it is only on rare occassions.

20% discount off video game accessories for GCU IMO so this savings would pretty much ensure BB gets the sale. Other retailers & BB do run 10%, 15% & 20% off a few times per yr but it seems like the item(s) you may need/want haven`t broke yet. Or there`s SE/LE that you`re willing to pay for but the promo isn`t in effect.

I just discovered that there is no option in bestbuy "my accounts" section where I can load up my physical bestbuy gift cards like how Amazon provides. It would be a great feature to provide this option to the end users so that they get full benefit out of it as below:

 

• No need to carry physical gift cards to store (just give the member ID or phone number to look up and use them)
• No need to physically type the card number and pin at the time of checkout
• Keep loading the card in my accounts section and use it as needed
• No need to maintain physical card, remember which card has balance and eliminate chances of a misplaced card

I feel this is a very convenient feature if added for end users that have large number of physical cards. An option to think about.

• At least 1 exclusive video game related deal of the day per week.
• Exclusive preview of upcoming sales/promotions/deals per week or month.
• Special coupon on your birthday.

I think these are reasonable things to add to the current unlocked membership program. Shouldn't cost Best Buy much to implement and gives a little bit more reason to join. 

There are quite a few games that could be added to this promotion. These are just some ideas. Granted, not all of them are going to come out this year but at least five are going to for sure.

What if Insignia was a name that meant it could be returned to Best Buy and create a profit !

Remember return deposits ?
Remeber trade in value ?

If cars were treated like most things Best Buy sells we would be up to the sky in stacks of cars

to be shreaded instead of resold as used.

Every parking lot would be filled with only working vehicles and repair shops would be downsized

as broken cars were to expensive to fix.

But then they would be inexpensive again like $1000 for economy or $10,000 for top of the line so

I guess there is a bright side to this blight !

Since China stopped accepting e-waste companies like Best Buy have been put in the possition of

accepting the tech products and finding a way to defray the cost of disposal.

 

My idea is not novel or unique and therefore probubly not popular but what if we went back to design for

servicabilty and long life.

What if we went back to QUALITY as the domininant feature instead of pixels and diiagonal size vs cost.

 

Building cheaper should include better as well.
Let's think a "Better Buy" is at "Best Buy" or change the name to "Good Buy" as in goodbye !

I can't do it alone as I am near end of  my patient life as well having seen when "Quality was job one"

was compared to "Fix Or Repair Daily".
The World's Faire in the 1960's envisioned a life of comfort and luxury and we all bought it and now

we need to return that life style for heaps of junk or old stuff no one wants.

 

Pay back is a b....

 

Anyone else up for pushing back on manufacturers and time to get it back down to EARTH before

there is no space on EARTH left ?

 Start today to complain a little louder and longer but not to those salepeople but to the CEO and VP's that

can make a change happen !

 

https://corporate.bestbuy.com/about-best-buy/hubert-joly/

Hubert Joly is chairman and CEO of Best Buy Co. Inc., the leading provider of consumer technology products and services, with approximately 125,000 employees in North America and approximately $40 billion in annual revenue.

Now, Mr. Joly is leading Best Buy into its next phase, Best Buy 2020: Building the New Blue. In this next phase, Best Buy is driven by a clear purpose: to help customers pursue their passions and enrich their lives with the help of technology. 

Under Mr. Joly’s leadership, Best Buy has committed to help provide, each year, technology training and career pathing to one million under-served teens in the US. Additionally, Best Buy is on a path to reduce its carbon footprint by 60 percent.

Why has Best Buy taken away points earned for special financing?  I made a purchase for $249.99 and never recevied points due to selecting 6-month financing.  Why is Best Buy taking away points from its customers and not making the store employees aware of such a policy?  This policy is not posted anywhere on the store fronts or by the registers.  How is this ethical?  Til this policy is made known in the store and online, points should be given to customers accordingly.  This now makes me want to cancel everything I have with Best Buy move to buying straight from the manufacturers.  Please fix this Best Buy, or show your customers the policy!

Currently, Best Buy Gamer's Club Unlocked members save 20% off new games. This is a great feature, and that's why I don't mind paying for the new (much more expensive) service. However, the exclusion of digital games makes me less likely to purchase more titles.

 

Since we're now paying $120 for a 2 year subscription, it seems logical to include digital console titles seeing as how digital is the future. Many of us gamers want to move away from having physical copies, and instead have digital copies.

 

Going with this, the amount of digital games for systems like Xbox One and Playstation 4 are extremely lacking. I'd love to see more games available, similar to how Amazon has done, so I may purchase more!

So here are the only remaining titles available for this promotion.  

 

2013 Titles:

 

• Grand Theft Auto V
• The Last of Us
• South Park: The Stick of Truth
• Splinter Cell: Blacklist

 

I will be getting GTA V (midnight release I hope) and Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

Victory Can Be Pre-Ordered is the best new release incentive hands down, no competitors even come close.

 

This can't really be the end of this promotion?

It's the main reason why I choose Best Buy to get all my new releases.

Not when there's still so many great upcoming titles to be released!

How about continuing the promotion for the following titles.

 

New Suggested Titles:

 

•  Battlefield 4

•  Saints Row IV: Commander in Chief Edition

•  Resident Evil: Revelations

•  Destiny

•  Metro: Last Light Limited Edition

•  LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

•  Ride To Hell Retribution

•  Fast & Furious: Showdown 

•  Dark

•  Batman: Arkham Origins

•  Final Fantasy XIII: Lighting Returns

•  Watch Dogs

•  Remember Me

•  Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

•  Dark Souls II

•  Deadpool

•  FUSE

•  GRID 2

•  Lost Planet 3

•  Brothers in Arms: Furious 4

•  Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots

•  The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

 

Sorry for missing some PlayStation exclusives but I'm an Xbox man.

So feel free to suggest any titles I may have missed.

We did it once HERE, can it be done again?

My wallet sure hopes so!!!  lol

 

With Best Buy being a Electronics/Technology/Media Store, a Customer Service Department dedicated specifically for gaming needs through it Toll-Free Phone Customer Service that deals in only Gaming should be created and established. Since Video Games are always a high selling products and with Best Buy having the Gamers Club Unlocked Program, it would be a way to push it more. This Department could help Best Buy Customers in many ways and help fix problems such as:

• Any problems with Pre-Order bonus's or other digital orders/items (EX: Codes not received)

• Price Adjustments of video games when best buy lower the price, especially with keeping GCU Discounts in mind on top of the adjustments.

• Problems with GCU Activating correctly at purchase or not applying to games correctly

• Problems with Pre-Order $10 Certificates not showing up on accounts when they should

• Any potential Trade-In Problems

• Not receiving Welcome coupons from GCU when signing up

• Any Gaming Promos not applying correctly to a order

• A big one is also the hassle of dealing with a majority of both phone reps and in store reps who after a year still does not know the in and out of the GCU Program

• It will help keep the work off of the Forum mods since a majority of the problems on here are for adjustments problems and also GCU not apply discount right and the normal everyday phone reps and in store reps are giving false or informed information since it not there specific department.

• and many many more reasons

 

Others customers probably can also input very good reason to make this happen. Especially since due to the normal everyday employees who have not much knowledge of many of best buy special programs especially GCU there is more frustration and problems that the customers must burden with constantly having to keep trying over and over until they get that single employee who is informed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know there are many other PS4 owners who would take advantage of this if it was offered.

 

Since The Last of Us and other PS exclusives were part of the similar $20 promotion last year it only makes sense for this title to be a part of this one.

 

Besides, if Xbox gamers can have Titanfall on this promotion, why can't Playstation gamers have Infamous?

Here`s the 2014 videogame release calendar & the current list of eligble $10 pre-order/purchase titles. http://www.cinemablend.com/m/games/2014-Video-Game-Release-Date-Calendar-61787.html

http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/My-Best-Buy-Gamers-Club/My-Best-Buy-quot-Get-10-quot-Gaming-Pre-Order-O...

I`d love to see many more titles added to the current list like Dragon Age, Halo Master Chief & The Last of Us PS4 I`m sure I`m not alone. We`ll keep posting the titles slated for 2014 release that we`re heavily interested in purchasing giving you the chance to gauge interest/feedback level. Hopefully, this will result in a major increase of new titles being added. Several of the existing titles slated for 2014 release have been pushed back into 2015 so these newer add ons will help fill in the gaps.

Finding items from BestBuy can be a pain when the item get de-listed from BB.com since you can no longer use the site to search local stores. This has been a consistant problem with video games & it happens alot on titles that are specifically part of @gamer coupon promos and/or Gamer's club exclusive coupons.

 

Yes, you can still call the store but since you have de-listed the item a non-BB savvy customer may not know how to get a hold of the SKU # or the rep who answers the call may have little to no knowledge of the item that is being requested. There's a big difference in the vanilla version and GOTY version but non gamers won't have a clue as to what GOTY means.

 

I see there's a way to research de-listed items being customer reviews but that only gets you the SKU # not the ability to look it up in stores. As a customer who drops into 7-10 different BestBuy's a month I see how big this issue is and too mahy times some stores have 2-3 stacks of items that are de-listed. Since it makes sense for you to sell them I'd assume allowing a cusomer to find the item would need to be made a priority.

 

I thinks it's been suggested before but a system update in general is probably past due.

Really taken back I was a paid member since day 1, year 1 but when I went to renew in Fall 2013, was in the "limbo" period.

Given a courtesy Feb extention but would rather have paid my $15 to have the magazine coupons until at least May.

Courtesy extention = $5.

One coupon is at least $10 and I missed out on Jan - May (5 sets of coupons...on average I would use 2 each month).

I was in the hardcopy format but was not even able to switch to digital....

 

 

Bring back the coupons!

I know I would like to see this for sure, whether it gets added to the "Preorder and Get $10 in Reward Certificates" promotion, or gets a free $10 gc launch week, etc.

 

Other games that have been relased multiple times on various platforms (GTA V, Halo) are getting the $10 Reward Certificate treatment once again, so why not for the Ultimate Evil edition, which is coming to some platforms (PS4, Xbox One) for the very first time?
