BB does not honor guaranteed $50 gift card promotion for tablet trade in

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/surface-trade-in-123382surface-trade-in-123382
According to the introduction text, any working tablet traded into Best Buy should generate at least a guaranteed $50 gift card to the customer.
Today I visited the Vallejo CA store to trade in a working 32g HTC EVO View 4g tablet. The manger and several employees tried to process the trade in a variety of methods. Each method was either denied because:
1. the tablet was not in BBs online trade in system or
2. quotation of the fine print
I'm displeased that I went through the trouble to travel to BB store with an excellent condition tablet and was rejected from the promotional offer. I left the store without argument, but upon reading the promotional page again it seems BB has outright lied about the details of this promotion.
As another forum member stated, the word guaranteed should mean guaranteed.
Please help.

Hi aaronhtc,
Welcome to the forums!
It’s certainly discouraging to hear that after a drive to Best Buy, and multiple attempts of processing a trade-in, you may have left our store without being able to take advantage of our $50 tablet trade-in promotion. This promotion was intended to shine a positive light on getting rid of your old tablet(s), by offering a gift card towards newer technology. I’m very sorry for any frustration your individual experience has caused.
I greatly thank you for sharing the terms & conditions here on the forums for our other users to see. While your HTC tablet seems that it may fit the criteria of the promotion, as long as it powers on and doesn’t have a cracked screen or water damage, please know that some stores may have additional limitations for the promotion. With that said, I’ll be sending you a private message with further information in regards to this. To check your private messages, make sure you’re logged into your account and click the small envelope on the top right of the screen.
I appreciate you sharing your feedback with us on the forums, and you’ll be hearing from me shortly.
Thanks,
Brian|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

    iTunes will not use the redeemed gift cards on my account, I have a $30 credit and when I try to purchase a song it goes right to my credit card on file. Why does this keep happening???

    Any time you've changed anything in your billing, it does this once to very things.

    Either add a credit card or maybe another payment method will work
    or
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • Why apple authorized dealer does not maintain the conditions that apple provides for guarantees?

    why apple authorized dealer does not maintain the conditions that apple provides for guarantees?

    Since we have no idea what specifically you are talking about, we cannot provide useful comments nor advice. If you have a problem with your iPhone, you need to take it to Apple or an authorized iPhone service center. Most resellers are not authorized to service the iPhone. If you'll tell us what country you're in, we can guide you to appropriate service resources. Note that the warranty on an iPhone is valid only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold. If you are in a different country, your warranty will not be honored there.
    If that's not what you are referring to, please explain.

  • Pages '08 Export does not honor the "Hide extension" checkbox

    I have noticed that Pages '08, even with the latest update (3.0.3), does not honor the state of the "Hide extension" checkbox in the Export save dialog (or "sheet" that slides out from the title bar). Specifically, I have seen this happen when exporting to Word. When un-checking the "Hide extension" checkbox, the filename is displayed in the dialog with the .doc extension, but the file appears in the save folder (anywhere in the file system) without the .doc extension until I do a Get Info on the file and un-check Hide Extension in the Name & Extension section.
    This is really annoying because I hate automatic hiding of file extensions in general, and I find it unacceptable with any kind of MS Office docs because my Windows-using colleagues can't seem to cope without a file extension they recognize.
    Also note that this does not seem to affect the Save or Save As dialogs in Pages '08, only the Export save dialog. I can create a regular Pages document, do a Save As, uncheck Hide Extension, and I'll see the document show up in the file system with the .pages extension.
    Is this a known bug in Pages '08? I can't find any mention of it in the forums. I also want to know if this is fixed in Pages '09. I've been looking for a way to report this as a bug, but am not having much luck.

    Yes. just add the extension manually in the Finder.

    It has been mentioned many times but not lately.

    No.

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • Datasocket does not work with two network cards

    If I have two ethernet card in a PC. The Datasocket server does not work if the second card is enabled. It keeps displaying resolving IP Address. I am wondering if there is a solution for this problem.
    Thanks 

    Thanks for you reply. One card has a static address(10.20.35.1), which is used for Data socket, and the other card uses a dynamic IP address. The card with dynamic address is only used for connecting the PC to the company’s network.
    The second card, when turned on causes the Datasocket server problem. In the Datasocket Server manager I have only two IP addresses under Permissions Groups. (10.20.35.1 and 10.20.35.11. 10.20.35.11 is the IP address of the remote PC with labview application. The Datasocket is used to transfer data between the two PC’s)
    I am wondering if my set up for hosts in Datasocket Server manager is not correct.

    Where did you get the phone? If it was hacked or jailbroken prior to the update, this is pretty typical. If that's the case, it's now a brick.

  • Global ATP does not honor supply from some orgs

    Global ATP does not honor supply from some orgs
    ATP based on planning data.
    Planning completes OK and shows enough supply (in planning workbench).
    ATP plan based on Bill of Distribution defined like this:
    Source for ORG1 is ORG2 ->
    Source for ORG2 is ORG3 ->
    Source for ORG3 is Supplier
    When inquiring ATP in ORG1 it considers supply only from ORG2,
    nor ORG3/Supplier.
    Despite the plan contains supply from all orgs.
    Any solution ?

    I think you need to set up a direct relationship between ORG1, ORG3 and the supplier. ORG3 and supplier would be lower ranked options.
    For Example-
    ORG1 from ORG2 rank 1 100%
    ORG1 from ORG3 rank 2 100%
    ORG1 from Supplier rank 3 100%
    The results will also depend on whether the plan is constrained and/or optimized.

    Itunes has no telephone support, so you cannnot call them.

  • If I have a 20.oo gift card balance on my iTunes and want to buy some gems for my treasure diving game does it come off my gift card balance first or off of my visa

    If I have a 20.oo gift card balance on my iTunes and want to buy some gems for my treasure diving game does it come off my gift card balance first or off of my visa

    I have a credit card on file in my I tunes account, but I have been using gift cards for years. iTunes has never hit my credit card if I had enough money on my account with the gift cards.
    The money should be taken from your account, if you have sufficient funds in the account. If your purchase goes over the amount that you have in the account, the entire purchase will be put on your credit card, even if you are only pennies over the account balance.

  • HT201209 I bought a Mac last month for education. But i did not receive an app gift card. Where can i get it?

    I bought a Mac for education last month. However, i did not receive any app gift card. Where can i get it?

    The gift card was from Apple and on campus venders. If you bought the Mac from someone else, then you didn't qualify. If you did buy from Apple or an official on campus Apple partner, speak directly to them.
