saturnboy01 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 As long as you don't have any where else you need to be it sounds like a plan to me. Then they have to accept them. YUp, IF I get to the register and they say sorry you cant use those until 10am I will park my happy butt down somewhere and wait. IT will be worth since since I have $85dollars worth and the computer is only $149 so I will only be paying $64. :lolrun: :lolrun: :lolrun: :lolrun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tootsieroll23 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 DH and I went to Best Buy today and used the $27 we had with no problem. I asked the girl checking us out how many we were allowed to use and she said up to $300. However we couldn't use the Best Buy Bucks and the 10% off coupon we received in the mail together.

Take your merchandise back get a refund (more likely they will give you a giftcard) then REbuy your items and use your coupon for that extra $$ off!)

My hubby wanted to buy a DVD and he had $9 to use and the cashier was like oh the max you can use at once is $3.....it never said it on the coupon! It is annoying, but it does say both "restrictions apply" and "see rules" right on the BBB coupon. I think the bigger problems with BB is when they don't see their own rules and restrictions, or when they choose not to follow them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess7915 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I think that in general BB is a pretty sneaky company. I don't like to shop there. Plus, they are sooo overpriced. My husband buys most stuff online at newegg. He shops BB to see what he wants, the buys it much cheaper somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Overall though, Best Buy has one of the best media selections anywhere. They have such a wide variety of CD's and DVD's...hard to beat that without going online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venerdinero Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I should also point out that I have heard about one other potential problem with BBB on BF. This may have been a misleading salesperson or it may be a local problem, such as the "Indiana problem" noted above. Someone I know was told by a salesperson that they could not use any BBB on BF. Now, that does sound crazy and wrong, but - this is BB. That is why I had already known where to find the BBB Terms and Conditions. There are a few a potential loopholes that an unscrupulous merchant might try to utilize. The open ended "Cannot be used toward purchase of certain products and services, including but not limited to" As the stores open early on BF, the "must be used only during normal hours of operation" language. As noted elsewhere, if necessary, one can get there early, get your item, then wait in the store and checkout after 10am (or your local store's regular opening time). Finally the "special order items" exception. Since some of the doorbusters and other BF specials are not normally stocked or have special skus, the store might try declare it a special order item. Whatever the case, IF a store tries not to permit the fair use of the BBB, remain polite, remain calm, but do not be intimidated, be firm, be insistent, and show them a copy of their own policies and if necessary call corporate.

saturnboy01 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Yup I already said that to get your merchandise and if you get to the counter and the salesperson at BB says sorry you cant use those go sit down somewhere until your stores reg hours and then go back to register and use the bbb they cannot stop you then. the terms and conditions says NOTHING about BF.

MarkRaby Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Guys..."normal hours of operation" means nothing more than when the store is open. It's an extremely minor legal technicality so that they can't get in trouble for someone trying to redeem their BB Bucks in-store at like 1 AM. Since the stores are not open 24 hours and they say the BB Bucks are valid from the beginning of the contest through December 3, they need to be more specific on when you can actually use them. But that's all it is. On 11/25, Best Buy's "normal hours of operation" will be 5 AM - 10 PM. And just so you know, I used $300 in BB Bucks last year on BF and $168 in 2003 and had no problems using them that early. -Mark- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Just take the terms, stick to your guns and you will be fine. I know one of the managers at my local BB so if any huge problems arise hopefully she will let me use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
