How do I use my Best Buy gift card on BB eBay?

Dear best_buy,
I have been trying to order a specific Playstation 4 bundle through the Best Buy website (which allowed for in store pickup of this bundle ONLY) however, there are none available!
So I was very excited when I found it on Best Buy eBay, but I want to know if there is a way I can apply my 2 Best Buy gift cards ($55 total value)?
Also, upon purchasing the system from Best Buy eBay - would I be able to obtain an itemized receipt? Because I would like to purchase a 3 year extended warranty from Sony and they require an itemized receipt.
If need be, I am willing to go into the store to process the gift cards.
Thank you for your time,
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Skunnyss,
It can be disappointing to find the item you’ve got your heart set on isn’t available for purchase, so it’s exciting to hear you found your PS4 console through our eBay page!
Please know that according to our Best Buy store page (found here), PayPal is our exclusive payment partner on eBay. This means our gift cards cannot be used towards an eBay Best Buy purchase. Additionally, I’m unsure if the receipt provided at the time of purchase gives an itemized list of what is purchased. While I’d think it would, please let me know if this is not the case. I should be able to pull up your eBay order and provide you an itemized list if you end up purchasing the console with our eBay store.
I hope this helps,

  • Unauthorized use of Best Buy gift card (Need Advice)

    I purchased a Best Buy gift card off of a craigslist seller yesterday.
    I was told the back of the card was not scratched off, so I thought it would be safe to buy.  When the seller and I met, I scratched off the back to reveal the digits.  I called to confirm the amount.  I handed him the money.
    After about half an hour later I check the Best Buy card again and the balance went down to a penny.  The card was used online.  It would seem the person that sold it to me is the one that used it, but he didn't know the number.  So I can't say for sure he used it.
    Anyways, my question:  If I file a police report, would BestBuy.com look into this even though I'm not the original owner of the card?  I still do have the physical card with me.
    The person that used the card without persmission used it online.  I called BestBuy.com to try to get them to stop the order and to put the credit back on the card, but they couldn't.

    Hello bldade128-
    It takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch. Unfortunately, not everything that is purchased online is in good faith, and I apologize that you were a victim of online fraud.
    Best Buy sees the original purchaser as the only one entitled to a refund, as long as a proof of purchase is provided, there generally is a credit issued only for the remaining balance of the gift card.
    The person, who used the gift card without your permission, could have requested a refund and because it was reported to Best Buy, we will more than likely be looking to accommodate their request.
    I encourage you to reach out to your local authorities, just like dragonkid suggested.  It’s also important to document your report with Best Buy. Please log into the forum and select the private message found after my signature, to send me the gift card serial number and contact information.  As soon as I get the information, I will compile a report of my findings so you can share with your local authorities.
    Again, I am sorry for the experience that you are going though, I hope someone is able to catch the people that participating in this type of fraud and hopefully you can find closure.

  • Is there anyway to use your best buy credit card online before receiving it?

    I know if you haven't received the card yet in the mail you can still use it in store by giving an employee your information. But is there anyway to use it online to make a purchase?

    Good morning Seniorfarts, 
    It's great to hear that you are either considering or have already applied and been approved for a My Best Buy credit card! It is my understanding that you would have one opportunity immediately after being approved for the credit card online to use it. Outside of this browser session, I believe you would need to wait for the arrival of the physical card. Sadly, this means if you apply and are approved in store, you would not be able to use the card online until you receive it. 
    I hope this helps! Please let us know if you should have any other questions. 
    Sincerely,

  • Best Buy Gift Card was charged twice.

    I recently placed an order on Best Buy.com and it said there was an error. After I tried again, it went through, but I noticed that I had only $3.28 left on my gift card. My gift card balance before the transaction was around 77 dollars. I thought that was peculiar. The trade-in I made a couple weeks ago on 12/26/14 gave me 77 dollars for trading in Assassin's Creed Unity and Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on the PS4 for 26 and 21 dollars respectively. Additionally, there was a 50% bonus trade-in that week for video games and on top of that I have Gamer's Club Unlocked, which gave me an extra 10% on video game trade-ins.  All that would have came out to $77.55. 
    I think that BestBuy.com charged my card twice, but there is no way to confirm it. Either that or Best Buy had given me less for my trade-in. 

    Hello lucknotluck,
    Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear you were having troubles when placing an order on BestBuy.com. It certainly would be frustrating to be charged twice for one order, and I'm truly disappointed this has caused you to cancel your order. 
    Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to view the order, and transaction history. It does look like your gift card was charged twice, but the good news is that our customer support agents have sent you a new gift card with the missing balance. You should see this card arrive within 10 - 12 business days. If you do not see it arrive within this timeframe please let me know. 
    Thank you again for visiting the forum, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

  • How do I use a I tunes gift card tom pay for apps?

    I cannot seem to find a way to apply a itunes gift card to my account. There does not seem to be an option for the gift card, only for credit cards. I have been told these gift cards could be used to buy apps. Please help me figure out what I am missing???

    Click on the word "Redeem" at the bottom center of the App Store screen.

  • HT201209 I redeemed my code, it says $50.00 up top and I clicked on an audiobook to buy but it is asking for my credit card information as if it is going to make me pay rather than use the $50.00 gift card.

    How do I use $50.00 from gift card redeemed and shows on top line, to buy an audiobook, it keeps going to my credit card instead of using available credit from a giftcard

    I have the same issue and it does not m,ake sense. No fix for it yet. it *****.

  • Is Best Buy credit card linked to Citibank?

    This is posted in response to one moderators comment about Best Buy credit card.
    His claim was that the Best Buy credit card was not really owned by Best Buy.  As a result, there was nothing any Best Buy employee could do to help out with complaints about their Best Buy credit card.
    The claim that Best Buy could not be responsible for the problems occurring with Citibank credit cards.  Best Buy was just the "name" on the front of the card.  The analogy called to mind is that if you are using the Best Buy Credit Card, it is just an advertising ploy.  Best Buy cards are labeled with the Best Buy name and trademarked logo as an advertising premise.  They are not linked in any way with Citicard and how Best Buy customers are treated.
    The premise is not true.  If Best Buy is not affiliated with Citibank or their cards; whey do we get "reward points" to only Best Buy if they have no involvement with Citibank?  Other cards I have allow "reward points" to be used in multiple forums. 
    The Best Buy card has culpability in the mess with Citibank and cards issued under the Best Buy name.  Best Buy retailer has culpability in this matter.  I have no idea what the legal analysis of this leads to: I am not an attorney. 
    My posts have scared the "moderators" to the point that when I pass on the help attained by other members, they have  pulled the posts; "locked the posts to read only" in mid-post.  It's creepy.  It also helps determine culpability and who is liable for the Citicard mess with Best Buy. 
    If Best Buy moderators pull posts that do not violate rules; if they restrict the use of a post to "read only while I'm typing" they are watching on a computer terminal as I write/type.  When they restrict information that might show a path of resolution for those of us stuck in a loop; they are showing that they know that Best Buy is responsible in some way for what is happening with Citibank and the Best Buy issued card.
    What can we do as consumers at Best Buy?  Write the Board of Directors; copy the letters to your local store.  And of course, take your business somewhere else.  {removed per forum guidelines}  This is a speculative comment. What if there is a relationship between Best Buy and Citibank that allows Best Buy to "capture" a portion of the fees that we have been charged by the "malfunctioning" computers?  I have no idea and there is no way in the world that I would, at this point in time, talk with an attorney.
    Sad that Best Buy moderators won't even apologize to the consumers who post on their website that there are major problems with purchasing an item at Best Buy on the Best Buy/Citicard.  They could post an appropriate link or phone number that "might" help consumers with the problems with purchases.  Sad that there is not acknowledgement of problems since Citibank took over the "Not Best Buy credit card".
    Best Buy could have a conversation about what is going on and let people know that they want our business and they will do their best by establishing a better conduit of communication and information when there are problems with "not Best Buy credit card."
    I wonder if they will pull this post?  It is only fear that moves them.  That is the key ingredient that makes something in a corporation sweat.
    We all like shopping at Best Buy.  Those reward points are great!  Some of the stores provide excellent service. 
    Now that I understand that Best Buy credit cards have no relationship to Best Buy and it is just advertising for Citibank by putting all their store information on the front of the card; I think it's on the back too; rememember, it is not the fault of Best Buy.  It is Citicards fault.  Call Citicard....good luck. 
    Best Buy does not care about their customers who use the "Not Best Buy Card".  There has to be a reason.  Why would they want customers to shop somewhere else?  Is the strategy now, "Best Buy is too good for consumers?" "Best Buy prefers that you pay cash for all purchases?" "Best Buy, we're so rich, we don't have to care about our customers! They keep coming in the front door!"  This could be a public relations nightmare for Best Buy.  That is why they don't want  consumers to talk about how their "real-life problems" originated at a Best Buy store.
    I despise how I have been treated by Citibank.  I know I post on a forum that is "owned and promoted" by Best Buy.  In the corporate world, they set the rules.  Most of us understand that corporate wins over consumer at all times in this business environment.  I'm sure they will be very happy that this is my last post regarding this matter.
    Learn what federal regulations are in place to help you.  Stop using the "Not Best Buy card".  It is our choice to use them. if you have to shop at Best Buy, use cash or another credit card that is not affialated with "Not Best Buy card".
    Sorry about the spelling errors.  This laptop was bought at Best Buy.  The hard drive was replaced by the "Geek Squad".  It was repaired, but some functions  no longer work.
    Yeeup! I went and bought another computer at Best Buy!  It was only a couple of thousands of dollars.  I went with a tower! I already have a notebook. Getting away from a laptop was expensive!
    I'll  have to ponder as to whether I will ever shop at Best Buy again.  It is due to the reactions of the moderators; the finger pointing from Citibank and Best Buy and most of all; a lot of my money has been emptied out of my bank account since Citi took over my "Not Best Buy card". 
    I am not an attorney.  I did graduate from college and there is a wonderful member on this forum who has helped me out with the system.
    Cheers! I hope this post isnt' pullled since it is designed to mitigate frustration among members of the "Not Best Buy card"

    Hello AlwaysWondering-
    It certainly sounds as if you have had a bad experience with Citibank regarding your Best Buy credit card, enough so that you’ve chosen to join our community to speak to that dissatisfaction.
    When it comes to the Best Buy credit card, the information that you have been given to this point is correct.  While the Best Buy logo is on the credit card, Citibank does providing the financing for the card and as such, we have no access to your account, nor any ability to make changes to it.  However, this does not mean that we cannot attempt to help our customers with concerns that come up with Citibank.  In fact, we welcome feedback about our third party partners regarding the service that they are providing to our customers and when possible, we will try to work as an advocate for the customer with that partner.  In the end, any final decision regarding your credit card account is at the sole discretion of Citibank.
    Everyone that joins our forums does so with the understanding that they must abide by our Terms and Conditions, as well as the Community and Forum Guidelines. 
    As part of those guidelines Best Buy® retains the right to remove and edit content and to limit and/or ban users' access to the Forum.  Best Buy® retains the right, at its sole discretion, to limit users' access to the Forum and to remove material, in Best Buy's sole judgment, that does not comply with the Usage Guidelines or Terms and Conditions or that is otherwise inappropriate for the Forum, harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. 
    Moderators may take any action they deem necessary in their own judgment to enforce the Usage Guidelines and Terms and Conditions, and, in general, to address content that can detract from the experience of other users or the purpose of the Forum. Such actions may include editing, moving, or deleting material and banning individual users.
    This can include blocking further replies to posts that have already been provided a resolution or removing replies from an older post that no longer needs additional commentary.  In general, we would rather not take this route and welcome the input of our users in a timely manner and by keeping the discussion relevant by staying on the topic when posting.
    If you have a customer service issue regarding Citibank or any other aspect of your interactions with Best Buy we would urge you to create a post regarding that interaction and we would be glad to see if we can help you.  Otherwise, we encourage you to follow the Community Guidelines as posted and see what you can provide other users on our forums to assist them in resolving their concerns.

    I Wanted to buy itunes gift card but instead I got apple store gift card accidentally how can I buy itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc
