According to Best Buy policy, when you place your pre-order they'’ll authorize your form of payment with your bank, which results in a temporary authorization hold. After a few business days, the hold should be automatically released and the funds returned to your account. Shortly before release day as your order begins final processing for shipment or store pickup, we’ll reauthorize your form of payment, resulting in another hold. Once your order ships or becomes ready for store pickup we’ll then collect payment. Please note that pre-orders placed using PayPal are processed differently, and are charged immediately upon placing your pre-order.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bestbuy.com FAQ states at time of shipment or local pickup
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.if you use paypal it's taken right away
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It charged my card right away and I am getting mine shipped, so much for charging when they ship it lol oh well glad they did that cuz idk if I’ll have as much money then anyways lol Happy I actually got one after 2 and a half hours past launch that was definitely a blessing from God
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am 3 days away from launch day. Mine was charged but the money not taken. Then a few days ago the placeholder charge is no longer there. I already confirmed my pickup time launch morning n got email confirmation. So I hope nothing happens. I really would rather them just take the money. So I dont know if they will charge at store or take it in the next 2 days.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I got charged immediately. Total was $529.99 with taxes. Money left my bank account as soon as order was confirmed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well I was charged the full amount for both Xbox Series X and geek squad protection on the 22nd (preorder). Today, the amount I paid was refunded but then they took the geeksquad payment again. I'm hoping my preorder is still valid but the amount did return to my acct after 6 days.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It says that it will take it at the time of shipping but it charged my cashapp card immediately. Idk if that was because it was a cashapp card or not it might be different for a bank card. I just used the first card saved on my account tbh lol
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When I ordered the PS5 my card was charged immediately. BestBuy did not place a hold but charged the full amount.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will not be charged until your unit is processed and shipped. To be on the safe side pre-order with credit instead of debit so you won't get an unexpected draft.
