Does the product protection that comes with a My Best Buy Total™ membership apply to products I give as gifts?

Yes. The product protection that comes with your My Best Buy Total™ membership still applies to eligible products you give as gifts. Here's how it works:

  • When you make a purchase that’s covered by the protection plan with your membership, you’ll receive an email confirming your protection plan coverage. Give a copy of this email to your gift recipient. They will need this email to show that their product is covered.
  • The protection plan will remain in your name. You may still receive information about the plan — such as the gift recipient’s claim activity and notices about the plan.
  • The protection plan will continue for up to 24 months, as long as your membership remains active. If you cancel or choose not to renew your membership, this will cancel any remaining months on the protection plan.
  • Eligible claims outside of the manufacturer's warranty are limited to 2 claims per 12-month period, each subject to a service fee.

Complete terms and conditions for Best Buy Protection and for AppleCare+ are available at BestBuy.com/PlanTerms.

Update to Best Buy Totaltech™

Why did Best Buy make this change?

When it comes to technology, we know that different customers value very different things. Our new membership tiers — My Best Buy™, My Best Buy Plus™ and My Best Buy Total™ — give customers the freedom to choose a membership that fits their needs, depending on their technology, budget and lifestyle.

How will this affect me as a Best Buy Totaltech™ member?

On June 27, 2023, Best Buy Totaltech™ became My Best Buy Total™. The included member benefits changed on June 27, 2023; however, former Best Buy Totaltech members will continue to receive the previous membership benefits until their renewal date that occurs after July 26, 2023. After the renewal, the previously included member benefits will change to the new set of included member benefits. If you haven't already, you will receive an email in the near future with more details about the updated membership benefits.

What if I sign up to be a Totaltech member before the program changes?

On June 27, 2023, Best Buy Totaltech became My Best Buy Total™. Anyone who signed up for Totaltech before June 27, 2023 will receive the previous membership benefits until their yearly renewal date. After the renewal, the included member benefits will change to the new set of included member benefits. You will receive an email with more details about the updated membership benefits.
