Best Buy is about to and Elite Plus customer

I've been an extremely loyal Best Buy customer for over 20 years.  I've been an Elite rewards member for 6 years, and Elite Plus since the new tier was created.  I've already re-qualified for Elite Plus for next year.  Needless to say, I shop at BBY several times per week.
That may all change unless they can fix this colossal f$#k-up that is placing several of my pre-orders in jeopardy.
Long story short: I've placed 6 orders that consist of video game pre-orders for limited edition versions, which are now fully reserved at all retailers, as well as several other pre-orders for pretty much every A-list release coming in Q4/Q1.  Some of these orders were placed as far back as February, right when the items became available for pre-order.
My BBY credit card was recently updated from the in-store card to the BBY Platinum Mastercard.  The old card--which I used for all of those orders--has now been deactivated.  I've updated my account to include my new card as primary payment, but there is no self-help option to specifically update your payment on existing orders.
I hit a snag when two of my orders that released yesterday went to process, and were denied payment, since they tried to ping the old card.  These orders were then cancelled for invalid payment before I had a chance to respond to the email regarding a payment problem.
I called support today, to see if they could manually update the payment information on my outstanding orders, and we found in a conference call with Citibank support that even though my new card is valid, since the process of updating existing orders doesn't provide a way to enter the CVV code of my new card (since it's not required by .com's systems), when they go to enter the order, it registers as a CVV mismatch and the payment is denied.  After a few tries with one of my orders for a common-stock item, the order hit enough denied payments to be automatically cancelled.
After being on the phone with them for 3 HOURS, I was essentially told that they had no way of fixing this.  The problem is, that when these limited-edition pre-orders hit their release date, they will encounter the same payment error and then be automatically cancelled.  But, if that happens, or if we cancel the existing orders and I attempt to re-order them, THEY WILL BE OUT OF STOCK AND UNAVAILABLE!!  Essentially, unless this error is fixed, I will lose all of my limited-edition pre-orders and since I can't order them anywhere else, I won't be able to replace the order anywhere, unless I shell out a ton of money on the secondary market.
Obviously, I don't find this satisfactory.  I've entrusted Best Buy with thousands of dollars of pre-orders, and because of a stupid glitch in their system, they have now essentially told me that this is an inevitable problem that even their top tier of support cannot correct, and they offered nothing to fix the situation to ensure that I will receive the items that I had ordered several months in advance.
This is absolutely outrageous, and it's the last straw.  If someone from Best Buy is reading this and can help fix the situation before my first LE pre-order of Q4 enters processing on 11/3/14, I would ask that they please contact me.  Otherwise, this screw-up is enough to finally end my two decades of loyalty at Best Buy.
I am very serious about this.  If no solution is found, and my orders continue to get auto-cancelled, I intend to cancel all remaining pre-orders (over 15 pending items), cash out my $500 worth of banked points, then cancel my Best Buy accounts and never set foot in a store or visit them online again.  
I know people often make these claims of "never again" to be hyperbolic and blow off steam, but this is not just idle talk or grandstanding.  With Amazon Prime giving me release-day delivery and competitive prices, and 3 GameStops and 2 Apple stores within a 10 mile radius, I could very easily get by without ever giving Best Buy my business again, and I am fully prepared to do so if these orders cannot be rectified.
I would figure that Best Buy would go the extra mile to take care of their most loyal customers.  Heck, with how the customer base has eroded, I would figure they'd bend over backwards for ANY customer.  I can't imagine Best Buy can afford to lose too many more customers like me, but they're about to, unless something gets fixed and fast.
Ball is in your court, Best Buy.  

Good afternoon zsciaeount,
Thank you for being a loyal Elite Plus customer. I am terribly disappointed to read about all the wasted time and frustration you have been through regarding your pre-orders. Updating your credit card information on these orders should not be so difficult, and I am truly very sorry for all the inconvenience and frustration you have encountered. 
According to our records, I see you are working with our Executive Resolution team. I encourage you to continue to work with them to get this resolved immediately to avoid any more pre-orders from being impacted. Should you still need my assistance please do not hesitate to let me know. I assure you it is my goal to help our loyal customers in any way I can. I will also be documenting your experience for further review.
Once again, I am truly very sorry for any disappointment this has caused, and I hope we are fortunate to continue to have you as a loyal Best Buy customer. 
Sincerely, 
Maria|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • BEST BUY DELIVERIES ON MONDAY AND WEDNESDAYS ONLY

    I again talked to someone at the my local Best Buy store about the status of my Phone 5.  I was told again that they have not received any Sprint or Verizon Phones.  The next time I should check is this coming up Monday Sept 24 or Wednesday Sept 26th; these are their next delivery dates. The only reason I went through Best Buy is because of their Phone Freedom program they advertised in January and February of this year.   I am so disappointed with this whole experience.  This is my fist and last time pre-ordering.   I will not ever go through this experience again with Best Buy.  I will order directly from my carrier.

    You are incorrect sir. Stores can receive trucks on any day except sunday. My store receives trucks on different days @ different time. You guys really gotta be patient.

  • Does best buy care about their promises made on delivery date?

    i've placed an order LAST thursday, and as an elite plus member i get expedite shipping automatically (accroading to bestbuy definitaion, it's a two day delivery). plus, on the confirmation emial, it says 'get it by: tuesday, jan 13th. 
    and only until noon today (monday), i received an email containing an tracking number from bestbuy. since best buy shipped my item out one day late, i was expecting a overnight shipping so that they can delivery my item ontime, like all other online retialers would do. but it is not. it is only ups ground, by which i will be lucky to get it in another two days. 
    what is worse is, until 10:00pm, ups doesnt seem to have received the package yet.
    so best buy, why dont you use overnight to cover your mistake, instead, you are asking me to pay for your delay? i've been a long time constomer for both amazon and bestbuy. and amazon sometime do ship out items late, and honestly it happened a lot. but whenever they are behind the schedule, they use the fastest shipping to try to catch up the time. 
    best buy, you knew it was behind the schedule already when you ship it out today, why dont you use overnight shipping? were you just hoping that i wont notice? or you think it doesnt matter, your promise to your customers doesnt metter? if you dont even have the attempt to try to catch up the schedule and fullfill your promise to your clients, i can only imagine people shop less than less on bestbuy.com, and instead, go to amazon.com
    hey guys, really, if you can find something on both bestbuy and amazon, go to amazon. they dont ask you to spend thousnads of dollars before give you free two days shipping, and when they are behind the schedule, they will at least try to fulfill their promises, rather than ignoring the promise. 

    Hello garyleecn,
    Welcome to the forum, and thank you for being a My Best Buy Elite Plus member. One benefit from being such a member is receiving free expedited shipping on most items from BestBuy.com, so I’m sorry to hear your online order isn’t arriving as quickly as you hoped. I’m sure you’re anxious to get your hands on your purchase, so I can understand why it’d be frustrating to encounter such a shipping delay.
    According to our Shipping Costs & Timing policy, any expedited shipping order may take up to two business days to ship to your home. Unfortunately, there are circumstances outside of our control that can cause unexpected delays. However, you mentioned your order was mailed via UPS Ground. Please know that expedited shipping simply outlines the timeframe that the order should arrive, not necessarily the carrier’s method of shipment. This means that if you live close enough to a UPS shipping hub, UPS could deem it was unnecessary to expedite your order, as ground shipping would have gotten it there just as fast.
    Having said this, I realize this situation is far from ideal, and I’d appreciate the opportunity to look into your order to see what exactly happened. In order to do this, please send me a private message with as much of the following information as possible.
    ·         Full name:
    ·         Phone number:

  • Trying to install acrobat.  Entered in the Redemption Code and it says the purchase has not been activated.  Best buy says it has and even included serial number on the receipt to use for activation.  Still doesnt work

    trying to install acrobat.  I purchased this at Best Buy.  The receipt contains an activated serial number to use when setting up the software. I entered this and it said invalid Serial.  Because Adobe also gives me a redemption code inside the package to receive a serial online I tried this and it also says inactive redemption code.  I called Best Buy and they say it has been activated on their end and the issue must be taken up with ADOBE.

  • Poor customer service for Best Buy Elite Plus customer - A simple price match request

    Dear customer service,                                     I recentally bought Model: S29E790C and SKU: 3908046 for $599. Last week, I notice that the price drop to $549 or $559. I call in and got price match. Today, the price drop to $499. I've called back in, spent 15 minutes with the first rep, who stated they will have to transfer me to the right department. I ended being transfer to an unknown number. The second call back, I was given a confirmation #, but not email on the price match. I am disappointed and believe this should be a simple task. Can someone help me? Thanks

    Hi there johluon,
    I’ve been thinking about purchasing a second monitor for my computer set up at home, and I have to say, the one you picked is quite nice! If I have to be honest, I’m a little jealous. All jokes aside though, it’s understandable that you would want to get the monitor at the lowest possible price, so I’m sorry to hear of your troubles when attempting to request a price match with us. I’d be happy to take a second look into your request and see how we can help.
    After reviewing your online order using the email address attached to your forum profile, I was able to confirm that you received a price match last week to the $549.99 price. As we can only offer one price match per item in accordance with our Price Match Guarantee, this could explain why you haven’t received an email confirmation stating the second price match request for $499.99 was honored. Having said this, our systems do indicate we might have set some incorrect expectations earlier today when you called for assistance, so I’ve sent you a private message to discuss this further. You may view this message by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

  • I just purchased photoshop elements 12 from Best Buy. Followed instructions and triple checked the redemption code I entered. Invalid???

    Trying to install new elements 12. The Redemption Code that came in package is INVALID. Please help!

    I have a similar issue with Photoshop CS6.  The site would not give me the serial number when I provided the Redemption Code. It said I didn't need a serial number, just install/download the software.   The install process requires the serial number.  I ended up in chat. Apparently they have retrieved my serial number and I should now be able to sign into my Adobe account and retrieve it.  The catch is that they said it could take up to 24 hours to show up for me.  So I have lost the day now. 
    So my suggestion is to go to the customer support chat function.  Maybe your results will be a bit more timely than mine.

  • WHEN DOES MY ELITE PLUS MEMBERSHIP END???!!!

    I received an e-mail from Best Buy at least a month ago. It said I needed "X" amount of points by 12/31/2014 to keep my Elite Plus status. On my membership card it says February 2015. I called the Elite Plus phone line and they told me the same 12/31/2014 date. I protested and they created a case report. I've lost the case number. But I found the original letter when I received my new Elite Plus Membership Card. The letter also says my card expires on February 2015. I have not heard anything from Best Buy about this!!!
    Also, the bar graph with the amount you have spent is not accurate according to Best Buy. You have to request them to do an audit on your account to get an accurate number. WHY???!!! Why don't they have something accurate so I know how much more I need to spend to keep my membership???!!!

    Hi MadDog760,
    I hope you had a fun weekend.
    If you do not requalify for Elite Plus during the 2014 calendar year, then your current Elite Plus status will be downgraded to either core or Elite in February 2015.  From what I can see and based on your spending total so far, your program status will end up being downgraded to Elite status.  You would have until 12/31/2014 to spend $3500 on eligible Best Buy purchases to requalify for Elite Plus status.
    It can take UP TO 35 days for a purchase to reflect within the Elite/Elite Plus spending bar that is displayed on BestBuy.com, so any recent purchases may not be reflected yet.  An "audit" of your account would not be needed unless you notice that past purchases appear to be missing, which means they not be included in your spending total.  Otherwise, the spending total displayed on BestBuy.com would be correct.
    I went over your purchase history for the 2014 calendar year and the current total displayed on BestBuy.com is correct.  You are a few hundred dollars away from requalifying for Elite Plus status.  To go over your account with you and provide a more exact total, I will be sending you a private message.  You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the yellow envelope at the top of the page.

  • Best Buy 100% Price Match Guarantee FAIL for Elite Plus member!!!

    So during the Black Friday weekend I purchased a Dyson vacuum at a store.  I understand that Best Buy does not match pricing DURING Black Friday weekend.  So on 12/15 Amazon had the vacuum on sale for $26 less than what I paid.  Again, this is not Black Friday weekend but the item was purchased over Black Friday weekend.  So I called in for Best Buy to match the price.  I spoke with someone who seemed like temp help.  It did not sound like she was in a call center and she didn't know much and seemed to be IM'n with someone to get answers.  After initially telling me they would not match the price because the item was purchased during Black Friday I explained that it was no longer Black Friday and Best Buy policy does not obsolve them from matching prices for the next 5-6 weeks (the return date is 1/15/2015) from all items purchased over Black Friday weekend.  If so, no one would buy during Black Friday.  She said she would submit the price match and I would get an email letting me know if it has been approved.  I was patient and waited 2 weeks and nothing.  I called back and was told that the price match department was swamped and to please be patient.  So I waited till today to call back for the return date is in 2 days and still no price match email.  I am now being told that Best Buy only matches their own pricing if not at the time of sale AND they only match the price that same day when they can confirm the price. (which makes sense)  I'm also being told my price match was never sent to the correct department so it has been sitting in case # purgatory for the past month.  Why is any of this my fault?!  I spend over $3500 per year, year after year and I'm supposed to get 'Elite' service.  I know more than the people I'm speaking with on the phone!  I called in with a legit lower price, waited patiently for Best Buy to match, have now spoken with 3 different reps, been told something different each time about the price match policy (every time they were wrong) and now I'm being told because it wasn't matched when they could confirm the price they won't match the price?!  What am I missing?!
    Total Price Match FAIL for Elite Plus member!!!  I can only image how people that aren't Elite are treated! :-)

    Dear iamkraz,
    Thank you for bringing us your business this holiday and for your continued loyalty to us as a My Best Buy Elite Plus customer. I am sorry if your recent experience has left you disappointed after the service you received. I would be happy to help clarify this for you.
    Per our Price Match Guarantee, “At the time of sale, we price match all local retail competitors (including their online prices) and we price match products shipped from and sold by these major online retailers: Amazon.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, HP.com, Newegg.com, and TigerDirect.com.” The only price match we would perform after the initial time of sale would be to a lower price in store or on BestBuy.com during your respective Return & Exchange period. You should have been provided with this as the reason for not receiving the price match when you were speaking with our support teams.
    My apologies for any confusion this caused. I would like to get some more details from you about the conversations you had so I may properly document this here at the corporate level for coaching and training.

  • Best Buy Elite Plus-Worst Customer Service Department EVER.

    I just spent the last 2 hours on the phone with 2 different people in the Elite Plus customer service department.  I explained the problem (wrong shipping method generated on an expedited order), the solution (annotate unshipped part of order to ensure that this does not happen again, attempt to make amends for improper shipping label) and the evidence of the error.  The first representative, after assuring me that although the mess up occured, the order would still arrive in accordance with best buy policy, stated that the only way to ensure that shipping would not mess up would be to upgrade to express shipping for $18.  After being told that I was unhappy with her solution and would like to speak to someone else, it took almost 15 minutes to get her to agree that this was what she wanted to do.  It then took another 15 minutes of wait time until another representative could be retrieved.   The second rep stated that she would have to call UPS to find out why the error occured.  I pointed out that the error could be seen on the order details.  The order had 3 parts, the 1st shipped expedited via UPS 2nd day air, the 2nd shipped standard via UPS ground and the 3rd was still waiting for release. Obviously, according to Best Buy, the customer is always wrong.  I will have to wait until the "back office" verifies that I am not lying and that my access to best buy's files is better than customer service, so that I can receive a phone call to try to solve the issue.  Nice to see that loyalty to the Best Buy franchise is such a valued commodity to the company.  I will have to make sure that I share this experience with all my friends and family, and to make sure that I take my business to a company that can fix simple errors without being dismissive and insulting.  

    Hello jymie71,
    I was disappointed to read about your call-in experience to discuss the issues with your BestBuy.com order. We strive to provide a superior level of service and it's clear -- based on what you describe -- that we did not live up to your expectations.  I regret the apparent confusion and inefficiency that you encountered.
    In looking into your concern, I note that you called us again yesterday and accepted an accommodation for the shipping issue. Further, I'm happy to report that your shipment should arrive today.  
    I'm very disappointed to read that this situation may influence your future shopping destination. It's my hope that you'll give Best Buy another chance to win you over one day soon.
    Sincerely,

  • I am locked out of my account and can't use my Best Buy points

    Hi,
    I am an Elite Plus customer and really upset with Best Buy as they decided to lock me out of my account due to an audit and I can't use in inspite of having $2000 in my account that I bank. I called Best Buy 3 days ago after receiving an email that my account had been updated and they decidid to do an audit and lock my account without informing me. I keep getting "check in 24hrs" message since 3 days and it doesn't let me issues certificates. I found out after calling Reward Zone that my account was updated as I was re-enrolled in the Elite Plus program. I keep getting a response from Reward Zone that corporate is auditing my account for fraudulent activity. While I appreciate that, I don't expect them to shut me off my account for more than 3 days when I need to purchased items using my $2000 worth of banked points. This is RIDICULOUS and noone from Reward Zone wants to take ownership of this issue. I just spoke to the manager named Kenya Case ID: {edited per forum guidelines} and all she did was directed me to the website and asked me to email corporate. This is complete NONSENSE and expect a professional company like Best Buy to figure out their processes and not shut out customers from their program without informing them. I am hoping that someone from the right department can pick this up and resolve this issue as I need to purchase items this weekend and am sick of seeing the "check back in 24 hrs" error.
    I am a loyal customer of Best Buy but things like this makes me reconsider my decision of buying things from Best Buy again.

    Good afternoon VJ, and thank you for your patience,
    I would like to discuss your My Best Buy™ account with you, so I will be sending you a private message.  To check your private messages, please make sure you are logged into the forum and click on the yellow envelope icon located at the top of the screen.

  • First and last time buying from Best Buy

    It's sad to see how many complaints there are regarding the Best Buy delivery service. Ever worse to see how customer service makes no attempt to rectify the situation either. I like most others here wished I looked on this forum before purchasing anything from Best Buy. 
    Ordered the Sony 60" TV on Friday 11/21. A delivery date of 11/23 was selected. This was a big purchase and I was looking forward to getting the TV on Sunday. No call came to confirm what time they were coming and nobody showed up on Sunday either. I called Best Buy the following day and was informed that they didn't have any available trucks so they needed to rescheduled. Look I understand things happen so I let it slide and rescheduled. I rescheduled to Tuesday 11/24 and they let me change the delivery address as well since I work during the week.
    Now it's Monday night and I didn't receive a delivery confirmation once again. I just got off the phone with a customer service rep and they informed me that my delivery date was never set and the new address was not on file either. I even have a confirmation e-mail from over the weekend that confirmed the new address change. So now guess what, the TV is backordered and not available until 12/7. How the hell do you run a business??? I order a TV that is in stock and confirmed for delivery and it gets rescheduled and is now backordered? How can I trust the next date that's provided? Plus has anything been offered for the inconvenience? I thought ordering from Best Buy especially for a big ticket item I'd get a certain level of service, I should've just ordered from Amazon.

    Hello alok1228,
    Welcome to the forum. I am truly sorry for the delay in replying to your post. I am very disappointed to read about your experience regarding the delivery of your TV. Buying a new TV is an exciting event, and I know I would be looking forward to setting it up to use as soon as possible. I'm very sorry your TV was not delivered as scheduled and now is backordered. I can completely understand your frustration. 
    Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was unable to locate the order. I would appreciate it very much if you could send me a private message with your name, e-mail address, phone number we have on file for you, and the customer service pin located toward the bottom of your receipt, or BestBuy.com order number so I can look into this immediately. To send me a private message simply click to the right of my signature. 
    Once again, I am very sorry for all the frustration, and disappointment this has caused. I look forward to the opportunity to turn your experience into a much better one.

  • My Macbook is stuck at the loading screen (the apple with the spinning circle beneath it). I went to Best Buy, they told me to call Apple Help and ask them to restore my unit. But Apple help wont help me without charging me. Help please !!

    My Macbook Pro is stuck at the loading screen (the apple with the spinning circle underneath). I went to Best Buy to get help, and they told me to call Apple Help and ask them to 'restore my unit', which he said is a matter of only about 4 mouse clicks. If it was so easy, I didn't understand why he couldn't do it for me. But he said that even though I have a 3 year warranty and protection plan with them, they were not responsible for this type of problem. Whatever.
    Anyway, so I called Apple Help, and even though he was familiar with my problem, it's been more than 90 days since I purchased the laptop, therefore I'd have to set up a service agreement to get his assistance, meaning I'd have to PAY him. So now i'm stuck, and I'm just hoping somebody knows what to do to help me
    I don't have any disc that I apparently need, and I don't remember ever getting one. However, if there is some other way to fix this issue, please let me know. Thanks for your time and assistance

    Hello CLD2ooth,
    There is a lot of excitement around finally being able to play Halo on your Xbox One with The Master Chief Collection and we’ve certainly been paying attention to customer feedback regarding our “Get $10” Promotion.
    After taking what you and other customers have posted back to our My Best Buy and Gaming teams, we have decided to add Halo: The Master Chief Collection to the program! That means that My Best Buy members can now get $10 in reward certificates for pre-ordering and purchasing the game! You won’t see this reflected on all of the relevant pages on BestBuy.com until closer to the end of August, but I have confirmed it with the teams and wanted to give our Best Buy Community a heads up.
    Thanks for posting your suggestion and please let me know if you have any additional questions.
    Sincerely,
    Matt|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • The new iPad Air 2 I bought at Best Buy a week ago will not register with Apple.  How do I register this so that I am eligible for support and 3 month warranty?

    I bought a new iPad Air 2 from Best Buy a week ago and it's serial number is not registered with Apple.  According to support I am not eligible for support or the 3 month warranty.  How do I register this thing?

    Return it to Best Buy and either get one that can be registered or get a full refund and shop somewhere else.
    Brand new iPads have a 12-month warranty.

  • I purchased Lightroom 5 from Best buy and when I enter the redemption code to retrieve the serial number it say invalid code

    How do I contact Adobe to find out why the code does not work?

    Assuming you’re entering the correct code, and not confusing a zero for the letter O or 5 for S or 8 for B or similar, then if you mean you went to the store and bought a box, the cashier needed to have scanned a bar-code on the box and transmit that data to Adobe, otherwise the code won’t work.  Maybe the code wasn’t scanned or maybe the data wasn’t transmitted in real time or maybe Adobe’s network didn’t get the data to the server right away.  If this is something you just bought a few minutes before trying the code, maybe wait a little bit longer.  Otherwise, there is likely a Contact Support button on the web pages that you can find on Adobe.com that will let you chat with an Adobe support person and they can perhaps tell you the status of the redemption code.  Or maybe just go back to Best Buy with your receipt and the box and have them scan the code.
