You are a credit addict if...

Let's have some fun here.  I know this was done a few years back, but let's do it again for all the newbies and simply for entertainment. You know you are credit addict if: You set a reminder app for a new card which has been announced so you can apply when it is released.  Moderators, I know this doesn't actually belong here, but just this once can you not change the location, since it is only for fun.

  • HT201303 If item is free why do you need a **** credit card!! Tired of items saying free if you are charging me refund my **** funs I will post on all networks

    I tried to download a free game and music app that are free then it pop up you need a **** credit card what the **** for.. Tired of being nickel and dimmed by company so how about fixing this ****!!! Very upset

    If the game is shown as "free" in the App Store, it is completely free to download, but many apps have "in-app purchases" intended to separate you from your money.
    The solution is simple - don't use those apps. Uninstall them and write a review in the App Store explaining their underhandedness.
    To disable "in-app purchases" go to Settings > General > Restrictions and turn "In-App Purchases" off. Don't forget your Restrictions passcode.

  • HT2589 what is a security code when you are registering at the iTunes after you have put in your credit number

    What is the security code when you are registering in the iTunes Store just after you have put in your credit card number?

    It's the 3 or 4 digit code that is on the credit card, it's on the front of some cards, or others it's on the signature strip on the back : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3541

  • Why do you have to submit your credit card number is you are redeeming a card?

    why do you have to use your credit card number is you are redeeming ?

    I haven't seen a good answer from this yet. You can create a new Apple ID for the store without a CC. You can remove your CC info from an already established ID (you made a purchase in iTunes), but you can't use your Apple ID for first time use in the Store without a CC.

  • HT3702 why is my credit card being charged, i only use itune cards .you are charging my itune card and my credit card

    why is my credit card being charged, i only use itune cards .you are charging my itune card and my credit card

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. If you add or change your credit card details then you will probably receive a temporary holding charge ($1), which should disappear within a few days (holding charges). If it's not a holding charge then you can contact iTunes support and ask for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • UTILIZATION Challenge !! Credit Addicts needed !

    Hi all!  So, this is a "what if" scenario that I need help with.  My scores are climbing wildly as I pay down my cards, with a 10 point jump overnight just for bringing UTIL down on one card from $500 / 600 CL to $259 / 600 CL !!  EX FICO.  So, I want all you credit addicts to give me a ROUNDABUT (Yes I know there is no way to get na exact #) idea of how my score may jump by the beginning of August after the following pay downs post!  I will be as detailed as possible: Scores on 4/1/15:  TU 529  EQ 498  EX 517  Scores on 7/1/15:  TU  557  EQ  555  EX 567
     Scores as of 7/23/15:  TU 601  EQ 586  EX 601 !!   Barclaycard VISA Apple:  WAS AT $2,990 / $3,000 -  Will report as $2,600 / $3,000 on 8/1  (- $390)  *** 0% APR. *** 86% UTIL down from 99% UTILNFCU Secured Visa:  WAS AT $690 / 700 CL - Will report as $0.00 / $700 on 7/26  (- $690)  0% UTIL down from 97% UTILCreditOne Bank:  WAS AT $315 / 400 CL - Will report as $340 / 600 CL  (Was given CLI of $200!)  57% UTIL down from 79% UTILCareCredit:  WAS AT $1500 / $3000 CL - Will report as $1399 / $3000 on 8/2  (- $101)  48% UTIL down from 52% UTIL  *** 0% APR ***Western FCU:  WAS AT $415 / 500 CL - Will report as $280 / 1,000 (Given $500 CLI!)  28% UTIL down from 83% UTIL Capital One QS:  Brand new - not yet reported - $0 / 1,000 CL   0% UTIL and  *** 0% APR ***  until 4/2016 So, overall UTIL is going from ~ 81% to ~ 55% !!!! Still well above the recommended I know, but I am shocked to see how much scores have jumped just from paying down balances a little -- now these will all report with signifcantly different balances!!!! * Side note:  No lates, all debt current for past 12 months. Student loans, auto loan, credit.  One collection in dispute, 2 collections medical debt aging off in Spring time.   Any forecasts would be appreciated, as well as any advice !  Thank you all !!!

    Thanks guys. I'm going to work on getting Barclay down as the interest rate is awful after the intro APR. WORSE than Credit One!! Ridiculous. The others I will keep at or under 40% and less when I get the extra funds. My goal is 650 by Christmas and 700 by spring 2016! Doable ???Of course its doable. But scores will not climb like that from utilization alone. whatever is surpressing your score that is what you need to focus on. the fact you are at 601 says a lot of something is holding you down. ie. collections. charge offs or whatever. if you can get even 1 removed you would see a big increase. but bring your utilization down to 1% will not give you a 100 point boost in a year. no matter how hard you try.

  • HT201303 How do you delete your credit card info from iTunes?

    I added my credit card info then my bf got me an iTunes card and I want to use the credit I have on that first but it just keeps going right to my credit card and won't let me use the credits I have. So i want to just delete my credit card. How do I do that?

    I think you are mistaken. Store Credit is used first, then your credit card is used after. But if you are trying to buy a gift, you can't use store credit, so then it tries to use your CC.
    If you have just changed anything in your billing, or making a purchase for the first time, it will ask to verify your CVV. This is normal, and does not mean it will charge the CC. It does this for preauthorization reasons, and other things we can't quite discuss here.

  • You are not registered to use this service

    We have everything with BT including a new TV box with netflix etc, which is currently at the end of the 14 day cooling off period. If the following problem isn't resolved today I will be considering cancelling the TV contract and leaving BT all together.
    Our phone was working ok on the 15/4/2015. I tried to dial a local number last night (16/4/2015) to hear 'you are not registered to use this service please contact your service provider'. I dialled again with the area code, same thing. Also with national and mobile calls. We can receive incoming calls. I rang the Indian call centre who said there is no problem with the line or the account (which is in credit) it must be the handset. I am waiting for them to ring me back but having searched the problem online I think this will be to no avail. I have read about prefixing phone numbers with 1280 and this has worked when trying to ring my own mobile, so it can't be a problem with the handset, can it?
    I've seen it could be a problem with Indirect Access IDA being removed from my account (no idea how this might happen). I also know that there was a major outage last week (around 6/4/2015) in our area which led to the freeview HD channels not being available. I had to reset our router which cleared the problem but were Openreach in our area doing something to the exchange boxes etc?
    I need this problem sorting out A.S.A.P. please.

    The fact that if you use 1280 it allows successful calls suggests your line is set as CPS , carrier pre select, if this has just happened it suggests a CPS provider has taken your 'line' for calls if not for line rental, but it's not properly set up otherwise calls would terminate it would just be billed by the mystery CPS provider
    Have you had any approach by company's that sell this product ?, sometimes ISP's who's product includes calls can use CPS, if not, and you haven't been 'slammed' you need BT to set your line as non CPS , so BT handle your calls automatically without using 1280
    This should be easy to get done, but the drones that answer the calls probably won't have a clue, hence the 'it must be your handset' nonsense they come up with, report the line faulty,don't accept an appointment, and insist they sent the problem to what was once called BT Operate, they look after the telephone exchange equipment and it's 'data',

  • "You are no longer logged into your profile" - So....Palm just decides to delete my data???

    I was told to post this over in this Palm forum also so hopefully SOMEONE from Palm/HP will address this... I could not find a bug report area but perhaps someone can log this.
    So after months of (mostly) happily using a Pre Plus, Wednesday I get the message that I am no longer logged into my profile, and do I want to reboot or erase my data??!! I googled, and yup, it's an issue....So I reboot...same options, this reboot, it starts and asks me if I want English as my language. Woops!!! No data!
    Now of course palm profile does not backup anything on my phone really....I sync direct to Exhange and use Chapura sync to a desktop Outlook PST file. So I spend the next 5 hours restoring and syncing. Just crazy.  Why can't it just say that you are not currently logged in, we will try again in an hour??  And what right does palm have to delete MY data that the profile does not even backup???  My exchange and chapura sync'ed data?  Sure, I can re-sync with both of those. But my Chapura only if I am on the same wi-fi network as the local PC.  So what does that mean if I am traveling?  And re-syncing a huge volume of contacts takes forever.  And you lose all the linked contacts also!
    So I call the carrier and Palm. The carrier says...."well if your phone originally was under another phone number and you changed it as part of an upgrade, that can cause it." Huh? This can affect me months later I say??? My phone number upgrade change was done BEFORE I even turned on the phone. Palm does not even know about that first number!
    So I called Palm.  The guy says it can happen if 2 people use the same e-mail or credit card in their palm profile. Now since it won't even allow you to setup the same e-mail twice, I'd like to know how THAT would happen.  No one on my plan uses the same card.
    So the question is. We know this happens sometimes. Is there any source with credibility that really knows WHY this happens??? And does any setting reduce the likelihood of it happening again?  And why can't Palm make the results less debilating?  There is NO REASON that it needs to delete your data.  This is crazy.
    Also, other than my few purchased apps, none of my critical data is even backed up by the Palm Profile!!! I still had to re-create all my POP3 accounts, change all my preferences back, re-sync with Exchange, re-sync with Chapura, and then re-marry all the contact duplicates that Synergy did not handle right. So what's the worth?
    Can the Palm Profile/backup  be turned off? Does changing the palm profile in the apps perferences setting from "submit password every 4 hours" (whatever that means) to only at purchase help??
    Do you have any other options when you get that reboot r erase prompt? Pull the battery without answering the prompt perhaps???????
    If I am on the road and this happened, I would be without half my contacts until I returned which is unacceptable. This is very disappointing. I cannot believe the default action is not "let's TRY AGAIN", and not, "hey, let's erase all of this user's data on him"!!!
    If this happens one or two more times, I have had it.  I will be looking at another OS and phone after having Palm phones and organizers for the last 10 years or so.  This is unacceptable.
    BJB

    Thanks for the reply.  Nowhere in here do I get the sense that Palm even thinks this is a problem or are going to work on fixing it.  It implies Palm thinks it is okay and the problem is me, the user, the customer, because I do not want my data resided on Palm's servers or Google's servers.  Does Palm understand this is an issue whether my data is on my home PC or in the cloud and in Palm Profile???  The issue is not how I choose to store just one of my calendars and contact lists (out of 3).  The issue is a bug in the Palm profile system.
    The first point is this.... Regardless of HOW this happens, Palm should not immediately erase all of my data!!!!  Let's say I DID sync all my data to Palm Profile.  I STILL would not want to have to re-download everything just because of some glitch with your backup servers, the carrier's network, or my phone!!!  Go look at some pre forums.  You will see many people that DO sync all of their data to their profile, and they are STILL upset with this Palm BUG.  If security is the concern, how about asking for a password first vs. just asking whether I want to reboot or erase all data?  If it is really me, I would know the password!  Your answer seems to imply that what is happening is OKAY. It is NOT okay whether I sync everything to Palm profile or not!
    Further, even if all my data WAS backed up to Palm Profile, you still lose all preferences, all manually matched synergy contacts, etc.... etc... Again, I would still be very upset if all my data was erased even if EVERYTHING was backed up to Palm profile.  DON'T ERASE MY DATA!!!
    I have no problem re-synching my exchange e-mail after a problem.  It works from the road, etc.  However after 10 years, Palm decided to not suport the syncing of home PC's with the Pre.  An unfortunate decision as Palm was a pioneer in this.  You talk about security....Perhaps some of us do not want our data stored on Palm servers or google servers!!! Yes, indeed, in the event of a crash I cannot restore from the road. I can live with this if the crash was from a hardware or software issue.  But it is NOT OKAY if it is caused by Palm just because of some system glitch.  Since you are not restoring my home PC data anyway, why erase it?
    You talk about being logged out of your profile.  My phone was just used, and it was sitting on my desk.  Just sitting there. And then it popped up that "I was no longer logged into my profile".   What causes this?  Why does it not give me a chance to re-login?  How come after the erase of data and reboot I was then magically "logged in" and it was working?  Did the person that was trying to steal my non-existent data in my palm profile stop trying?  
    So are you telling me that someone was trying to use my phone SIM, on a pre plus, with my e-mail, and had my password....and trying to login, and that is why I got the message?  And then magically right after I rebooted, they stopped trying and all was okay???
    I do not believe that is the case.  And again, if it is, ask for my password, or a security question, or SOMETHING to confirm that it is me.  And a simple google search will tell Palm/HP that this is a problem many of us have had.  If I have it consistently, as I said, a 10 year customer is gone.
    BJB
    PS.  A reply that said:  "Palm is aware of this problem and will correct it with the next software update" would be a lot more comforting.

  • Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

    I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
    1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons.  Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings.  They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store.  It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity.  The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
    2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network.  These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address.  Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker.  In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone.  Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
    3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
    There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
    The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location.  So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
    As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go.  Not great for privacy & security.  When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy).  But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option.  Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

  • You are not the account holder woes...

    Bit of a long story this...
    I used my email address to help my mum to sign up to BT about five years ago as she didn't have one. She has since left BT and uses another provider.
    I thought nothing at all of this when upon moving into my newly purchased home I signed up to BT for myself about a month ago, using the same email address as had been used all those years previous.
    I received the account number through the post and proceeded to sign up to myBT for online billing. On attempting this it stopped me as my email was already on the BT system. I used this address to log back into my mum's now long cancelled account and amended the email address of that one to another of my email addresses so as I could use my favoured address for the online billing. When I completed this registration it told me that I was not the account holder and that my mum was. 
    I used the chat help several times and was told that this was resolved within 7 days and to try again after that. I heard nothing and about 2 weeks later I have logged on to find the issue still remains. I again took to chat and the helper cancelled the myBT account connected to my mother's name (with the email address I didn't want to use) and told me it should now work. It didn't. Nothing changed.
    Tired of the chat service I then took to the phones. Three hours later and I have got nothing to show but a monumental phone bill (I do not have a phone to connect to the landline to take advantage of the 0800 service) so had to rely on the 0330 numbers. I have explained my problem to about 12 people, been kept on hold for over 30 mins, been promised a call back which never came, had an attempt to sell me additional services (insult to injury?!) and still nothing. Basically it now seems that nobody at all is the account holder and that nobody can access this profile.
    I can not access much of the myBT functionality and I can not watch BT Sport through the online service (literally the only reason I went with BT). The latest is that somebody will call me tomorrow although I am not going to hold my breath.
    This is the error I am getting... There is no option to change the account holder on the page, I can either click to go back a page or ring the number which I found of no use at all.
    Some of our services, such as the BT Wi-fi, BT Cloud and BT Sport Apps, are only available to the BT Account Holder. We may ask you to confirm if you are the Account Holder before you can use some BT services. You can check and change your Account Holder status on this page.
    You aren't the account holder
    - The account holder is *my mother's name*. 
    If you believe that you should be the account holder, please call 0800 800 150.
    I have access to two accounts...
    One in my mother's name using an email I don't want to use which is now (thanks to the BT employee on chat) not connected to any BT account. If I try and connect it using my account number it states that it willl be a guest account because *my mother's name* is the account holder. 
    One in my name with the email address I want to use. This is connected to the correct BT account but is again just a guest account with no access to the BT sport online app that I purchased the service for.
    I've paid for a year's line rental up front by credit card but before I call the bank and ask them to reverse this payment and cancel the direct debit for the monthly payment can anyone help at all? 
    Thoroughly cheesed off already. 

    I think the only way you are going to solve this is with mod help. Mods will post a contact us link after reading this post. 
    After completing the email NOT PM then you join a queue of other customers waiting for mod help. The mods will get back to you in 3/5 working days either by phone or email

  • Does verizon still have a price guarantee if you are within your 14 day return window?

    Hello,
    I bought a RAZR MAXX HD for $299.99 and plan off Verizon's website on 12/13. Phone delivered to my house 12/14 and activated 12/15.
    On 12/18 I notice on Verizon's website that phone is now $249.99. I had heard that as long as you are within your 14-day return window,
    you can get a credit for the price difference. Sounds good!
    Here's where the misery begins:
    - 12/19 I call customer service @ *611 and am told I am SOL. I could return the phone and order again, but
    would be charged a $35 restocking fee.
    - 12/19 Stopped in a Verizon corporate store and was told if I had bought the phone in store they would be
    able to credit my account $50 (and also that they do it all the time). Told me to call *611 and talk and ask
    for Telesales.
    - 12/19 Called *611 again and asked for Telesales. After being transferred about 4 times, gain told I am SOL.
    So, frankly, I've been a Verizon customer for less than a week and am already regretting the decision to switch to them. Why?
    1) I don't think my expectation of getting the lower price within the 14-day return window is unreasonable.
    2) I don't understand why buying the phone off Verizon's website versus buying it in their corporate retail store should make
    a difference in whether they can give me a price difference credit or not. If there is a policy, it should apply across the board
    within Verizon (it's not like I bought this phone at a 3rd party retail store or website.)
    3) I'll also throw this in; I have extensive experience in sales/customer service and when calling other companies service
    learned a long time ago to always ask for names, however, I noticed when being transferred around while asking for Telesales
    almost everyone I spoke to before being transferred again was reluctant to divulge their name when asked for it.
    If anyone has any suggestions and/or if any Verizon customer representatives on here can help out I'd appreciate it. Otherwise
    the clock is ticking on my return window and I might just return it, eat the restocking fee, choose another carrier/phone and
    never consider Verizon for anything ever again.
    Thanks again.

    I would like to say I bought a Droid Maxx on 10/14 at $299. They then dropped the price to $199 a few days later. I called today 10/21 and said I had bought the phone a week ago and would like to be reimbursed the difference under the price guarantee. It took the lady a little while to get it all set up but she was very cordial and efficient and credited the $100 back to the account. If you are within the 14 day return window they should reimburse the difference. Makes sense for them to do so rather than have a perfectly good brand new phone returned just to buy the same phone.

    The security code is the 3 or 4 digit code on your credit card : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3541
    If it's a debit card that you are trying to use then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Please be perfect because if you are not, Verizon will screw you

    So....heading to Canada like i have done for business many times...and I decide to quickly go online and add the US and Canada plan to my account coverage.  I carried this for years while working in Canada.  I apparently hit the Global Data  button instead of adding the US/Canada plan.
    When I returned to the US and got my bill, Verizon charged me $1100 for using my cell in Canada!!!  Thinking this must be a mistake, I called and was informed that since I selected to wrong service on their site.  Even though I explained to numerous unconcerned people that the change in my account indicated I mistakenly selected the wrong option, the best they could do was give me a 20% credit...So I still owed over $800 for my mistake?!?!!!  No matter who I talked to, they thought this was a fair response.
    Second mistake:  I thought I had turned off my automatic payment from the bank.  So I went online and paid my bill at the Verizon site.  Unfortunately, a few days later, my bank paid the same bill.  So I call Verizon on what seems to be a simple problem:  Please give me back my money.  They were happy to take my request....and tell me it would be up to 10 business days before it was resolved.  I asked for it to be expedited.  "Sorry, there's no way for us to do that."
    WHAT?!?  I am not severely overdrawn, used all of my available overdraft to cover it, and they can't even put a rush on the request.
    After working my way through the **, I finally found a supervisor (whose direct report told me she could do nothing to help me) who told me to send a copy of my bank statement showing the check was paid from my account, and then they could release the standard 10-day "let's wait and make sure WE get our money BEFORE we service our customer" hold.
    This amounts to a few things for me:
    1.  Be perfect.  if you make the mistakes I did, you're screwed and Verizon's policies absolve them of any reasonable actions to help you.
    2.  Do not modify your account by yourself with their handy-dandy website tools.  If you make a mistake, you're screwed.  Call them and make them make the changes you want.  And get the name of the person you speak with.  And, I would also recommend, record the conversation...just as they do "for training purposes."
    3.  Do not expect that having an account with them for 10+ years and having five lines on the account means anything at all.  They do not care if you are a loyal customer...especially when you make a mistake.
    I am actively seeking another carrier...the choices are so numerous and so much cheaper why wouldn't I.  The sad part is I would not even be thinking about it were it not for a total lack of concern when the chips are down.
    Anyone had a similar experience?

    I'm not entirely sure that you are right or wrong on the phone recording issue.  As soon as I hear the Verizon message state that "This call may be monitored or recorded for quality and training purposes" I flip my recorder on.  I always tell Verizon that our call is either being recorded likewise or that it might be monitored by other ears.  I do this at the get go so that names are recorded and I hear their response.  A lot of the times the reps, some who work in a call center and some who work from home, some surrounded by screamin younguns and barking dogs and cats fighting....they will flat out refuse and say that THEY don't record the calls, that someone at Verizon does, and if you want to get a copy of the recording that there is a number to call, "I'll get that number for you, one moment........::click.::"  Some say, "Don't tell em you're recording since they told you the call is already."  The recordings says "MAY" which isn't a guarantee that it is.  Best to be upfront since, if the rep[ knows their stuff, they might not mind as much and there's nothing like trying to use in-admissible evidence.

  • Best Buy shouldn't be allowed steelbooks, as you guys haven't the foggiest idea what you are doing.

    I swear everytime I try and go to get a steelbook from Best Buy it makes me hate Best Buy ever so much and never ever ever want to shop there because of how bad you handle this and have no idea what you are doing.
    Wanted to preorder Ghost Rider and get the free steelbook but guess what they never even got them in and I checked everyday for a week after being told they were in transit on a Monday and by Wednesday was told they had been deleted by the system.  Well one good thing came out of that now I don't even have to bother buying the movie at your store.
    Wanted to get the Warner Brothers line of steelbooks that you just came out but guess what just like Ghost Riders none have showed up and everytime I ask I get well 12 our on order for that title and that title and that title.
    OH BUT THEY DID SET UP THE DISPLAY THAT SAYS COLLECTIBLE STEELBOOK AND JUST GRABBED AMRAY VERSIONS OFF THE SHELF BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FRAKING CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING, THIS DISPLAY MAKES YOUR STORE LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF COMPLETE MORONS AND CLUELESS AND THEY WONDER WHY BEST BUY IS CLOSING STORES ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE RAN BY IDIOTS WHO COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

    Aren't those Steelbooks officially out till like June 6th or something? And I worked in retail before. This may sound dumb, but sometimes they still want you to set up displays even before the items are received. You can't be mad cause they follow direction. They might of been told to fill in the space with items to look full. Honestly you're being upset for no good reason. Yeah, it sucks that you aren't seeing the items you want in stores. These are promo items so not every store will get it. Unless it's advertised in the ad, then you should be upset. If no store has any, order them online. From what I've seen, these extras are usually offered online too.sirdizzy wrote:
    Really Best Buy can't take any culibility or credit for what goes on in their stores because they outsource it to another company rather they just make themself look like babooms by having something clearly labeled wrong and misleading on their floor.
    Why put out a display that is clearly wrong and misleading, why when its pointed out to you by a customer does that same display remain on the floor (I took that picture yesterday not today and I informed an employee yesterday not today but it was still there today).
