Trade in Trade up promo not honored at Hartsdale Store 822

Well I just came back from another wasted trip to the Hartsdale Store:
299 N Central Ave
Hartsdale, NY 10530 
Phone: 914-946-0707
GEO: 41.027210, -73.793617
Website says this store accepts trade in.
I brought my tablet in to the store last Friday.  The customer service lady immeditely told me that their computer system could not provide the gift cards and that I should come back later.  I asked her when and she replied Sunday.
Today is Tuesday, 4 days later than my original visit.  Again, the representative told me they could not process the trade in because the computers do not work.  She suggested I contact corporate.  Well I'm pretty sure corporate is going to tell me it should work and I should go in and speak to a manager.  And we all know how that will end.
This from a high technology store with their own group of 'Geek Squad' techies.  How can you trust them with your electronics when they can't even fix their own?
So in summary, I wasted the time and gas to drive to this store (twice) and they are flatly refusing to honor the trade in promotion.  Getting pretty close to abandoning this store.  Oh how I miss CompUSA and CircuitCity!

Hello Woz2000,
I'm very disappointed to read that your recent visit to the Hartsdale store has resulted in such feelings. What you describe is not the superior level of service to which we aspire, and I very much regret that we've not lived up to that ideal for you.
I presume from your message that you did not speak to a manager during your recent visit. If you wish, I can work on your behalf with the store's leadership to help rectify this situation, and I'm happy to do so. If you' please send me a private message with your preferred contact information, I'll get in touch with the store managers.
Thank you for bring this to my attention and for sharing your experience with us.
Sincerely,

  • Galaxy Tab A tablet trade-in promo no honored

    Hi. I spoke with 2 stores on the phone: 845 (Folsom, CA) and 364 (Citrus Heights, CA).
    I mentioned one of the tablets I'm trading is off brand. They stated the item must be in the database for the $50 giftcard.
    Can anybody at BBY help? Store 845: 916-817-2115. Store 364: 916-725-1455. Perhaps communications gets jumbled during promotions and they need some reassurance?

    Hello dwerve,
    Welcome to the forum. Our trade-in program is a great way to upgrade to the latest and greatest electronic gadgets. I'm very sorry to hear they informed you that your tablet would not qualify when you called both our stores. 
    As you may be aware, the promotion excludes Barnes and Noble Nook and eReaders, and according to the terms and conditions, not all products are eligible for trade-in. Not available in all locations and some stores may have additional limitations. Trade-in value may vary. Condition, documentation and accessories may affect value. Device must power on to be considered working. Water-damaged devices and devices with cracked screens are not considered working devices for purposes of this offer. 
    If your tablet meets these conditions the store should be able to accept it, and I would be happy to reach out to the store leadership team. Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was unable to locate your information. I would appreciate it very much if you could send me your contact information, and the store you prefer to visit in a private message. To send me a private message, simply click to the right of my signature below. 
    Thank you again for visiting the forum, and I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Re: Cannot find tablet in trade in system - Not honoring trade in

    I would like an update on this situation given that the promotion is back again and my fiasco with the last promotion. Again, I am looking to trade in my tablets, and I would like things to go smoothly.

    Hello Kxc262-
    We appreciate your interest in participating in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S trade-in promotion.  I apologize that you experienced issues the first time you tried to take part in the promotion.
    All the stores were communicated the correct processes for how to do these trade-in’s for our customers, so the store should be prepared to help you out smoothly and easily.  In addition, I did review your previous correspondence with Derek as well, and I apologize that the store never contacted you.  However, I would encourage you to visit your most convenient Best Buy store and ask about the promotion.
    In addition, the stores do have an internal resource they can contact if they are having issues with the promotion and need help.  You can also contact us at 1-888-237-8289 while in the store if you are running into problems with the store processing it.
    If you need further assistance, please let me know.
    Thanks for connecting again with us!

  • Trade Up to Madden 15 $10 Coupon not honored as stated

    I am a Gamers Club Unlocked Member, and I pre-ordered Madden 15 online to take advantage of the $10 pre-order gift card.  
    Best Buy then had a flyer in August stating that if you traded in Madden 25 between 8/10 - 8/23 that you would received a $25 trade in value, and then a $10 Coupon towards the purchase of Madden 15. 
    I was told that I didn't have to cancel and reorder my pre-order to take advantage of the $10 Coupon, as it would just be applied when I went to the store to pick up my game.
    So....I went to the store....and the coupon was not honored.  The store staff even called corporate and they said it couldn't be honored.  The in store person stated that they couldn't apply an adjustment at the POS for a .COM purchase.  They could return the game to give me my adjustment for the coupon, but then I would lose my pre-order $10.
    Epic fail on the end of Best Buy.....

    Hello hoopty2369,
    I’m very sorry to hear that you may have run into some issues with using the $10 coupon you received from the Madden 25 trade-in promotion.
    I see that you did post in the other thread as diddy_64 suggested. We’ll be responding to everyone in that thread shortly. However, I didn’t want to leave this post without a response. I appreciate your patience in the meantime!

  • 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,

    Please explain why I have not received my $200 iPhone 6 Trade In Promo   Gift card. I sent it to Trade In Center in packaging sent to me by Verizon on November 26, 2014. I have called the Trade In Support team 877-835-2024 to check status and receive a different response each time I call. 1)it was received and it takes weeks/months to perform analysis on the device 2) you sent it to the wrong address 3) just wait 4) i will 'expedite' your issue. I've asked to speak with supervisors and the CSR will not let me speak with anyone confirming 'you will just be told the same thing I am telling you'. Well - nothing ever comes of it. Please assist. I have been a Verizon customer for years and am frustrated with the lack of customer care. Like many others I am ready to switch carriers.

    I wanted to add my voice to the growing chorus of people complaining about VZW's trade in program. i received the exact same excuse for denying the full value of my perfectly good and DEACTIVATED iphone 4s.
    i DID manage to get through to the trade in team, and after explaining the situation, i was told that my problem could be escalated the the tech team. the anonymous trade-in woman transfers me to the normal VZW cust support line... huh?
    i wait again and finally get through. unlike the trade-in woman, the cust support rep immediately identifies himself. willie was as helpful as he was allowed to be, but sadly, that wasn't very much. the trade in people and VZW hold all of the cards.
    THEY say that the de-activation lock wasn't turned off, i say it was.
    there is no way to prove either assertion.
    there is no appeal.
    they just deny, deny, deny, as evidenced by all of the other complaints posted here and elsewhere.
    willie WAS able however, to get me an additional credit for my 'inconvenience'.
    while i genuinely appreciate his effort on my behalf, it doesn't absolve the company from the way they handle the trade-in program, whether it's farmed out to a 3rd party or not.
    i will be filing complaints with the PSC, BBB, and NYS Att'y General.

  • Bestbuy not honoring the $50 GC for trade-in/recycle old working tablet

    Hi,
      I am contacting you because I was denied BB tablet tradein promotion at the BB store (#845) in Folsom, CA today for the reason that the tablet I am trying to trade-in is not showing up in the system. I showed the message from the forum
    http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Other-Customer-Service-Support/Trade-In-amp-Trade-Up-to-Surface-Pro-3-O...  
    But the employee didnt even look in to it and said she could not found the item in the database, so she cannot trade in the item. Can you please help me with this.
    Thanks,

    Hello satsusi,
    The Trade In to Trade Up promotion has been a very popular one and I'm very happy to read that you tried to avail yourself of such a great offer. I was disappointed to read that you ran into problems at the Folsom store when trying to take advantage of it, however, and I apologize for what was surely a less than desirable experience.
    I have contacted the store management team on your behalf with more information on this promotion. If you revisit the store before the offer expires tomorrow, they should be able to get you taken care of.
    I'm very grateful that you took the time to make us aware of your situation.

  • Soooo, any chance of you guys EVER bringing back trade-in promos on games again?

    It seems like forever since you guys did an actual trade-in promo on games and when you did it was the lowest amount possible(30%). Any chance we'll actually see the good trade promos make a comeback or are game trade-ins pretty much done and buried at this point(as is evidenced by the laughable disc only and pretty barren pre-owned sections at my closest store)?
    While we're at it, how about a return to halfway decent trade in values to go with any promotions? :-P Not that I'm not excited beyond belief at getting $2 for (insert semi recent game name here) plus my extra $.20 for being a GCU member.

    Hey CheapestGamer,
    While we generally can’t speak to any upcoming promotions or anything like that, I can certainly say that I agree with you here. I usually wait until a solid trade-in promotion to trade my games in and I can understand where you’re coming from in regards to that bonus only being 30% recently. It's definitely better than nothing, though!
    With that said, this fall is going to be insanely busy with all of the upcoming gaming releases, so I’m pretty confident we’ll be running some trade-in promotions to coincide with said releases. Here’s to hoping for a 50% bonus, or even higher!
    Cheers,
     

  • Does not honor sold price

    I was sold a package price of $97.95 for 105mb/sec Internet, 140 channels including HBO and Streampix, a DVR and a second box. Now Comcast will not honor that price and claims they do not have that in their records. Yet there is proof in a recording that they DID offer me that price. And I was told even if they find the recording they will not honor the price. Even though there is PROOF that they would honor the sold package price. Yet they will only give me 75mb/sec AT SAME PRICE!!! Unbelievable!!! I honestly cannot believe a company gets away with this!!! And to top it all off, my internet is still not up to speed properly as its only maybe 15mb/sec. Comcast is SO BAD!!! They should be ashamed of what they do. But all I got was "we are sorry". That doesn't fix it!!! I am looking into legal council and the attorney general and the federal trade commission. I am sick of these fraudulent practices by a composing like this that feels that they can do anything they want because of their size. Someone needs to knock them down a few pegs and make it hurt! This isn't over!!!

You need to go thru arbitration. I would contact attorney general along with FTC ant the BBB. Good luck.

  • Can I trade in an iPhone in UK App.Store?

    Hi! I accidentally dropped my iPhone 5s into the water, and now it doesn't work at all. The iPhone was bought in US last year, so can I trade in my phone to UK Apple store?

    No there is no trade in
    AND since you purchased the iPhone in the US ,you will have to return it to US for ANY service
    The warranty AND post warranty service and support is only available in the Country of purchase
    Warranty and post warranty service is not International
    You can return it in person to an Apple Store or mail it to a friend or relative and have them take it in and then return it to you

  • Online chat quote not honored by Verizon or Verizon is trained to lie here too

    I Was quoted by Taelor in a live chat and I quote"If you were to upgrade at that 2 year discounted price this would bring your bill to $160 before tax in which I'm seeing we can add our 30% discount on both line access fees for 1 year with a 1 year contract agreement,map dating your bill to $136 before taxes.". I was told I would be getting 15 gig plan and she also said we could add 1 gig of bonus data for a total of 16 gig, the plan would also be 2 smartphones for $136.  I then had to leave tht chat session.  A few hours later I contacted the live chat again.  This time chatting with Lyndsey.  i then asked her about what Taelor had said and she also confirmed the plan and told me I could also get the s5 pro owned phone for $99 and the Galaxy note 3 pre owned $99 phone with the 1 year contract however I would have to call as she could not do sales.  Well I just got off the phone with Verizon and they would not honor one bit of that agreement even though the lady on the phone (very nice lady by the way) could read exactly what Taelor and Lyndsey both said in our chat session.  I thanked her but I'm going to most likely be moving on to sprint and get unlimited everything for my wife and I at $60 each.  My sister and her family and my brother in law and his family live in the same area and say they have great service and Internet as I know with sprint that can be a concern.  Too bad because I really like Verizon.

    I could title my experience the same! 
    I have had an S5 for about 6 months and have hated at least 23 of those weeks.  A couple of weeks ago I signed onto chat to find out my options:
    first agent, before she even answered my question as to my options, proceeded to tell me that if I changed my plan that I would save xz&y.  I stated that while that sounded good, I wanted to sort out my phone problems first.  While I was waiting for her reply, I got a text message notifying me that a change on my account had been made.  I immediately stated in the chat that I had not authorized an account change and that before they had permission to do anything I wanted to know about my phone options.  STRANGELY, the chat got cut off.   WT$%^*
    I copied the chat and initiated another session.  A new rep comes on and I paste the previous chat into the window and inform her that no change was authorized, and while the change may make sense I want to understand what options I have for getting a new device.  She apologized and then gave me my options: 1) buy a new no-contract phone at $750, 2)pay the ETF (prorated to around $250) and then either go onto a new 2 yr contract or go onto an edge contract.  I said I will go with option 2.  At which point she told me that I would have to go to the store to do the phone transaction but that she would review my plan options.  We reviewed the options and I agreed to make the changes.
    now I go into the closest VW store and after waiting for 30 minutes for service and another 30 of explaining and the rep talking with her manager, they tell me that they will not honor that.  They will allow me to pay the ETF and go to a different device but I will lose my phone number.
    So of these options is true:
    Chat Reps are not trained properly, or
    Chat Reps are intentionally misleading customers, or
    Local stores are not trained properly, or
    Local stores are refusing to follow VW agreements.
    Which ever is a problem.  My options are pay $750 or move my accounts to another carrier.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • 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.

    My home button on my ipod touch is not working but Apple will not honor the limited warranty because the corner glass is craked.  I have been using it cracked for months.  What is my legal recourse.  I think it is unfair!!!!!!

  • Photoshop File with Layered Set to Multiply Not Honored in InDesign CS3

    I am placing a PSD file from Photoshop CS3, that has a reflection/shadow layer set to Multiply with an additional layer of the model set to Normal within Photoshop. When I place this PSD in InDesign CS3, the Multiply inside of the Photoshop file is not honored.
    Is this Normal Behavior?
    Thanks

    Hey all,
    I've encountered this same problem in CS3, and for the life of me, I thought I remember in CS2 that the layers were indeed honored--hence the advantage of using native PSD files in InDesign. This was so any effects (transparency or otherwise) would be carried over in the InDesign file, therefore removing the limitations of using legacy formats like TIFF or EPS, which did not allow this type of dynamic workflow.
    Give us your thoughts on this, as it has hindered a couple of jobs in CS3 which required the effects exactly as explained above by the OP.
    Thanks!

  • Illustrator CS6 does not honor Full Keyboard Access setting

    Why does Illustrator CS6 not honor the Mac system setting for Full Keyboard Access? Under System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, I have Full Keyboard Access set to allow the Tab key to cycle between "Text boxes and lists only". But Illustrator allows the Tab key to focus on all controls, including buttons. Is there a setting somewhere in Illustrator to change this behavior?

    You can try to edit the keyboard file, but you need to find out the code for the Danish keys.
