Other Customer Service Support

[paminsagle]

I am a calm person and also a private person that does not wish to share information on chats. This said I was on a chat with a rep and explained I had not seen a bill yet from my credit card I was recently issued. She immediately gave me a number to call however at the end of chat a box opened wanting me to rate the chat. I declined an it erased the chat with the number. So I went back to ask again and here is my experience on the second call. I am not at all pleased with this and will most likely be getting a late fee since it has been 30 days since my purchase. Oh and I have not gotten a card yet either in the mail.

8. 3:32 p.m.

   Obdulio R:

   Can you just be patience?

9. Obdulio R:

   I would be more than glad to help you but first calm down.

10. 3:33 p.m.

    You:

    it has already been 5 minutes how much longer does one person need to type in a phone number. i am calm and do not appreciate you saying i am not

11. 3:33 p.m.

    Obdulio R:

    So you want to purchase a cell phone correct?

12. 3:34 p.m.

    You:

    you need to calm down and you need to reread what my question is

13. You:

    clearly i said i wish to pay a credit card bill and need a phone number

    At this point I was too tired of typing and his lack of response caused me to close and report the experience. I have severe carpal tunnel and all of the typing done has cause me enormous pain. I will pay this bill off if i ever get one and never use best buy again. there are choices out there and i am certain i would not be treated this way by your competitor's.

Hi, paminsagle,

Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Best Buy Forums! It can certainly be scary to be faced with a late fee because your bill has not arrived yet. I'm sorry the chat message history erased before you could copy that number down! 

Citibank, N.A. is the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account, and they can be reached at  (888) 574-1301 for further assistance. You can also reach them on Twitter by the handle "@AskCiti."

Let me know if you need anything else, and have a great day!

Best,

I'm not a fan of the chat agents, they are pretty useless, however you started out extremely rude to him, I wouldn't have helped you ether.
