Best Buy Store Purchase

[Chadw97]

Hi , I am wanting to return an item I bought and I see I am eligible until July 3rd. It looks like refund would go back to the card I purchased with but I had to close that account recently due to fraud and so my question is if it is possible to have them put my refund onto a best buy gift card rather than refunding it to my Visa card.

Hi there, Chadw97,  

Welcome to the Best Buy forums!

Thanks for reaching out to see what your return options are for this purchase.  Dealing with a compromised account is no fun at all, so I understand wanting to see about a store credit, instead of the return going back to the compromised account.

Generally, it should not be a problem to get a store credit instead of having the funds returned to your original credit card/bank card.  I know I’ve done it in the past when I knew there was something else I was going to get at a later time.  Just make sure that when you do the return you are specific with the associate that you are looking for a store credit, so that they don’t accidently process it back to your original payment.

If that does happen, your bank should be able to either provide you with a refund, or in some cases, the refund would process to the new account (assuming a new one was created).

I hope this helps!
