Terrible experience. Bought an HP Omen for my wife and got the Best Buy credit card to help pay it off over time. During the transaction the associate pressured us into getting the Best Buy membership and Microsoft 365 for Microsoft defender (which at the time we didn’t know it was free and the associate lead us to believe we had to pay extra for it and was included with Microsoft 365) so we obliged believing we needed it for Microsoft Defender. Later after the transaction was completed we found out the card was maxed and went over the limit given, and asked viva and 2 other associates if that was going to be a problem and if it will affect our credit. They told us no it wouldn’t. This was Saturday. Come today, we find out that it did affect our credit heavily. Don’t let them upsell you on extra stuff you can buy later or. I will admit some fault of ours for thinking we had to have the membership and 365 for Microsoft defender, I should have known it was free

Hello Aiden,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We can see why you’d be upset. We understand your concerns about feeling pressured to purchase additional services and memberships, receiving information that you believe was inaccurate regarding Microsoft Defender, and later discovering that the credit card balance exceeded the credit limit after being told it would not cause any issues. We can appreciate how frustrating it is to make a major purchase and then feel that the information provided during the transaction did not match your experience afterward. We'd like to see if we can help in any way. Please reach out to us at one of the links below and mention #219670 privately.

Great experience at Best Buy! Nick helped me pick out a new laptop and did a great job explaining the differences and features without making it complicated. He also helped me find a new tablet that worked for what I needed. Super helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. Definitely appreciated the great customer service!
