Battery at 77%!! Was charged $99 for an iPhone replacement battery under apple care when it should have been no charge. The 2 clerks there had no idea why and it “was reasons above their pay grade”. Called Best Buy support and was told they could not help. Also went to purchase a new unlocked iPhone and there was nothing to order other than refurbished phones.
Additional information: My battery was at 77% per your techs, so yes, this should be covered. You quickly assume it was 80% or more is your solution? This is all on file at your store. Now I need to go to a social media platform for customer service? Ridiculous! I’ve been a long time customer of Best Buy and I will never shop here again. Just paid $99 for the lesson!

Hello,
Thanks for leaving a review. It can be frustrating when there's an unexpected charge for a battery replacement, so we understand your disappointment with this interaction. Apple Care typically does not replace batteries for free, there is usually a charge if the battery is over 80% battery capacity. This is listed in your Apple Care terms and conditions. If you would like a copy of the terms and conditions, or you would like to formally document your review with Best Buy Corporate, please reach out on social media with a message. Please include Google Review 175672 in your message.
Our team would be happy to assist you on any of the following platforms:

Customer Service sucks. There was no one on the floor who could help and 3 cashiers for 5 people in line and they act like they couldn’t step away to unlock the case. Abe was rude!!

Ordered a washer online, had to call to make a delivery appointment, was told that item is in back stock and they don’t have a clue if they will receive any new ones.
This was not shown online, they tried to keep my money for 10 business days, even though there was no actual transaction.
