Other Customer Service Support

[egursky]

I lost a store credit gift card and I have the original receipt. I tried calling customer support because it says Best Buy will replace it for me but they said they couldn’t. How can I get this card replaced?

Was the receipt used to verify the card's balance?  As gift cards/store credits are treated like cash, they can only replace up to the balance remaining.  If someone found and used the balance, it would be ineligible for replacement.

They told me if I didn’t have the card number then I could not have it replaced. They didn’t even ask for the original receipt number which I have to verify the balance.

Typically that is how it works if you do not have the card number its gone. As discussed by another forum member it is treated like cash. This is done to protect the security of the card.

Hello, egursky,

Thanks for reaching out! I understand finding out that you lost money in any form isn't ideal, especially if you were initially told that it could be replaced and then wasn't. I'd like to look into this with you to determine if there's any options I can provide. 

Can you please send me a private message with your full name, phone number, email address, and the Customer Service Pin Number from the receipt? To send the message, you can use the button in my signature below. 

Sincerely,
