  • QuestionThis is a yearly service. So I will likely pay twice to get that 2 years of coverage. Yes, there are other things included but many are already free. There is also a fee for each claim. Seems smarter to buy the 5 year warranty. Why am I wrong?

    Asked by IAmIntractable.

    • Answer You're not wrong, they're trying to get more money out of you. You're probably better off not buying either, but if you have to buy a protection plan, a yearly subscription is a bad idea.

    Asked by Danny.

    • Answer No. Geek squad would not be my console repair choice. It’s too expensive.

  • QuestionDoes the Total-tech Program cover "cosmetic damages" such a small indent on a new laptop?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, No, the Totaltech program does not cover cosmetic damages such as a small indent on a new laptop. Cosmetic damages are defined as any damage that does not affect the functionality of the device. The Totaltech program only covers accidental damage and mechanical breakdown.

  • QuestionIf I buy a tv from Best Buy plus Totaltech, will moving the existing tv to another room and hauling away an old tv from the other room all be covered by Totaltech?

    Asked by Elle.

    • Answer Hi, Elle! Thanks for your interest in the Totaltech membership. One of the most popular benefits of Totaltech is free in-home installation of a new TV purchased from Best Buy, when scheduled during the purchase transaction. This includes mounting that new television to the wall, even if you have an existing TV in that spot. We would unmount the existing TV and then put up the new one. You specifically asked about moving the existing TV to another room, and our agents are generally happy to help out with that. If part of that "moving" process includes setting up that old TV in the other room, and/or mounting that existing TV to the wall, that would incur some additional (discounted!) charges, but just moving it would be free. And haul away of an existing TV is also included for free with any TV purchase, for our valued Totaltech members.

  • QuestionWhen making an appointment in store for laptop support (laptop won't start up) . It is diagnosed while you wait? with a possible fix at that time? or is the laptop left in store?

    Asked by JustJoe.

    • Answer Geek Squad in store appointments have a 20 minute allotted timeframe. Typically for more complex issues they will need to check in the device to run full diagnostics and then repair what they find. These diagnostics can take several hours by themselves. If the issue is something that they can quickly see and repair, they may be able to do it within that 20 minute timeframe. For the issue you mentioned with your laptop not turning on, this would likely need to be checked in and possibly sent to our service center for complex hardware repairs depending on what they find.

  • QuestionMy home already has a tv wall mount. I would like this removed and reinstalled in another part of the house to mount a 55inch that I had purchased from best buy 3 years ago. If i purchase Totaltech membership, what would be the cost for this service?

    Asked by Wimboneous.

    • Answer Hi, Wimboneous! Best Buy's standard TV Connect and Mount service includes removing and relocating an existing mount, so you would not need to pay extra for that part of the job you describe. Totaltech members get a 20% discount off services for existing devices (like the 3-year old 55" TV you have). So, that service would discount from the standard fee of $250 down to $200 if you bought a Totaltech membership at the same time. OR (I like this option), find an extra TV you might like to purchase for less than $200 (they exist), purchase that one and a Totaltech membership, and schedule the TV Connect and Mount as you describe at the same time (eg, for the 55"). In home services are free, if scheduled with a corresponding TV purchase, so take that $200 we would charge you for an a la carte service, and get a "free" TV out of it instead.

  • QuestionI thought total tech coverage was fir two years? Why am I being billed again this year?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hey there fellow member, I understand your confusion. Totaltech is a yearly membership, so you should only be billed once per year. However, there are a few possible reasons why you might be billed again this year: Your membership may have auto-renewed. Totaltech automatically renews each year unless you cancel before your renewal date. You may have made a purchase that is not covered by Totaltech. Not all products are covered by Totaltech, such as used products and products purchased from other retailers. You may have been charged for an additional service. Totaltech also offers other services, such as in-home installation and Geek Squad appointments. If you purchased one of these services, you may have been charged separately. If you're not sure why you were billed again, you can contact Best Buy customer service for assistance. They can review your account and help you determine the cause of the charge. Here are some tips to avoid being billed for Totaltech again: Make sure to cancel your membership before your renewal date if you no longer want it. Review the terms and conditions of Totaltech carefully before making a purchase to make sure that the product you're buying is covered. Be aware of any additional services that you may be charged for, such as in-home installation and Geek Squad appointments. I hope this info helps to clear up your thoughts!

  • QuestionWill Totaltech hang and install all my televisions, even ones not purchased at Best buy?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, According to the Best Buy website, Totaltech Yearly Membership includes free standard installation and delivery on most ranges, including those not purchased at Best Buy. However, there are a few exceptions: Advanced installations: This includes mounting your TV to a brick or concrete wall, or installing it in a custom location. Advanced installations are available for a fee, and Totaltech members receive a 20% discount. Commercial installations: Totaltech does not cover commercial installations. TVs that are not compatible with Geek Squad installation: Some TVs are too large or heavy for Geek Squad to install safely. If you are unsure whether your TV is compatible, you can contact Geek Squad for assistance. To schedule an installation for a TV that was not purchased at Best Buy, you can contact Geek Squad at 1-888-BEST-BUY (1-888-237-8289) or visit a Best Buy store. I hope this info helps!

  • QuestionTo qualify for the protection plan or free AppleCare+, do the orders have to be shipped to a same address and name?

    Asked by jllll.

    • Answer Hi, According to the Best Buy website, you do not need to ship the orders to the same address and name to qualify for the protection plan or free AppleCare+ with a My Best Buy Total™ membership. As long as the product is new and purchased from Best Buy, it will be covered by the protection plan, regardless of who the product is shipped to. Here is a quote from the Best Buy Totaltech™ Yearly Membership FAQs: Does the product protection that comes with a My Best Buy Total™ membership apply to products I give as gifts? Yes. 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. The protection plan will remain in your name, but it will cover the product regardless of who the product is shipped to. This means that you can purchase a My Best Buy Total™ membership and then purchase products for friends and family members, and those products will be covered by the protection plan, even if they are shipped to the recipient's address. I hope this info helps!
