Very disappointed with Citi Bank and the Best Buy credit card service. We applied for a credit card over a month ago, and since May 1st we have been stuck in the same endless cycle.
Every single time we receive a letter saying they “cannot verify our identity” or that the SSN information is incorrect. We call the number provided in the letter, spend a long time explaining everything again, provide all requested information, and the representatives always say: “Everything looks good now, just wait for a callback.” But nobody ever calls back.
Then another letter arrives with the exact same issue, and the whole process starts over again.
We have called multiple times, repeated the same information over and over, and nothing gets resolved. Customer service keeps giving false hope but provides no actual help or follow-up.
This has been an extremely frustrating and exhausting experience. A month later, we still do not have the card, no real answers, and no solution.

Do not buy appliances from here unless you want to hook them up yourself. Then good luck getting them on the phone its all AI assistant and you cant get through. Save yourself some trouble and go somewhere else
Good service.Leo hooked it up and grabbed my online order for me when I got in early
Took my PC in to have a new GPU and SSD installed, Geek Squad removed three of my old drives without asking me, forcing me to reinstall them myself when I got home so that I could actually get my data off of them.
