Technical errors with total tech
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For reasons unbeknownst to anyone, quite a few of my product purchases that should be under my total tech plan were somehow disconnected from total tech in best buy's system. The store associate told me that my computer would not be covered and I would have to pay for parts, however corporate confirmed that I purchased the computer after I purchased total tech and it therefore should be covered. The store can't do anything about it until the corporate/back office support re-links my protection plan to my products, and my computer has been sitting an entire week while I get bounced around to different unhelpful customer service reps and managers. Even though this issue can easily be fixed by geek squad in the store, they allow my computer to sit there still, while I wait for back office to fix this technical glitch with the protection plan being un-linked form my products for apparently no reason. Despite the fact that this is completely not my fault, best buy allows the customer to suffer due to their own internal system technical errors. If I were to pay to have it fixed, they would be able to do it same day in the store. To top it off, if and when this error is fixed, it will be another 3 weeks wait for the computer to be sent out, fixed, and returned. There is also a disconnect between store management, corporate, and back office, and the customer must be the liaison. I am now inextricably linked to best buy due to purchasing nearly all my electronics from them, erroneously thinking that I would have hassle-free product protection.

Product warranty & TV mount, rest bogus
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They dont do everything what they advertise. Total tech membership is good only for tv mount and product warranty. Let me write down my experience 1. Store associate at Bolingbrook, IL nudged me to buy sony rear speakers. My idea was to buy a tv, soundbar and Subwoofer. So I went along with it and he scheduled a free total tech tv mount and rear speaker mount install for me. 2. The tv mount person comes home and mounts the tv, but says he is not qualified to mount rear speakers. Asks me to contact best buy again. 3. I reach out to best buy (total tech expert live chat), they say their agents are qualified to do this and schedules a day for the install. 4. The time slots given are 9-1 am so I wait and at 2 pm the agent calls (did not even visit my place) and says he cannot do the rear speaker install as he is not qualified to do so and says he can do a site survey instead. I refused for site survey and said the total tech chat members specifically told me that they are qualified to do so. But he refused to install. 4. I reach out to total tech chat again and explain the situation, they apologized and scheduled another person to do it the same day, with an advanced agent. so now the window is 2 to 8 pm. 5. At 5 pm the advanced agent calls me and says he cannot do it, and tells me that total tech chat members lack context and they schedule these installs even though their agents are not qualified to do this. 6. So totally 3 best buy total tech agents refused to even accept what they advertize. If you look up the free installs that they cover under total tech membership, it mentions clearly these services Audio & Video Services Soundbar Setup and Connection or Mounting Speaker Installation Wall and Ceiling Speaker Installation But their agents refuse to even visit home to do this. My advice to other total tech members or even prospective total tech membership buyers, your total tech membership is only worth for warranty for products and tv mounting. Rest all is just a lie. Use caution in purchasing this membership, think twice if its even worth it and dont believe all that they advertise, their agents refuse to even visit your house.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Social Media Expert
Posted .Many of our reps are more then qualified to setup standard rear speakers although in some cases homes would need to be pre-wired as this can be a completely different service. Site surveys do help so that it can be better documented to learn what type of service may be necessary as In Home Advisors would be the norm to better situate what sound system is available and what services may be needed and assisting with setting up the proper representative for the install. You can setup an In Home Advisor to avoid disappointments at https://www.bestbuy.com/site/services/best-buy-home/pcmcat748300620643.c?id=pcmcat748300620643 and it may have been something the store rep misjudged when originally selling the tv mounting and rear speaker install. You can always reach out for more support at Facebook/Instagram Best Buy Support, Twitter @BestBuySupport, or by calling (888) 237-8289

RIPOFF
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Prior to the coverage change the summer of 2023, total tech covered you 100% whether at home or in the store. Unaware of the changes, we renewed our membership in October, 2023 and now discover we have to pay 80% of what used to be 100% covered. This is the BIGGEST RIPOFF. BEST BUY SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR PULLING OFF THIS SCAM TO ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS CAUTION-WHY PAY $179.00 TO GET A 20% DISCOUNT? I was quoted $200 per hour labor rate for in home services that were no charge prior to June, 2023. BEST BUY’s alias is Buyer be ware.

Geek squad is the rudest non helpful care team
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Anytime you try to price match they give you the run around and make you spend hours before they finally do it. I spent 1100 in parts on a computer I had them build and it overheated and broke in 3 days and the cheapest part I used was a nvidia 3050 graphics cards they did nothing to help. Geek squad is extremely rude on the phone and will belittle you every chance you get horrible customer service and care. Everytime I call them I feel as if my life don’t matter And I’m only 3 months into paying for the service I tried to cancel but they only offered a 20 dollar refund So I declined just in case there is a emergency and they need to remote access but all I can say is I’ve never been treated like dirt after spending thousand in a store. And having such low quality customer care I spent so much on a brand new game build and couldn’t believe the amount wires that they said weren’t needed that they gave back. Pretty sure that was a reason it overheated and fried

They should call this service Total Crap.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Total scam! I purchased this service along with a 65" LG TV because the salesman told me that as long as I was a total care member, the television would be fully warranted and replaced if needed. I called to have a simple repair and was told the diagnostics would cost 108.00 (20.00 discount) just to look at it (not including the cost of parts). I told the repair service that I had the total care service and what the salesman told me and was told that they changed the rules after I purchased it and they sent an email to that effect. I never got an email or was told anything. I bit the bullet and paid the fee and set up a service date. I took off work to wait for them and they never showed. No phone call, no email. I called and they said they cancelled my appaointment and had no reason why but they could set me up another appointment 10 days later. I paid 200.00 a year to save 20.00. If you buy this service, you didnt pay attention in math class. I have cancelled my service. TOTALLY A WASTE of MONEY.

Never offer Android users any sale options!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall total tech has been very helpful . My number one complaint is that they promote 90% Apple products they completely lost connection to those of us that use Android they never offer any sales options only send us BS on Apple products every day, What a fricking joke!
