Customers are saying

Customers commend the Reader for Magstripe's ease of use, affordability, and compatibility with various devices. Positive feedback also highlights its compact size and straightforward setup process. While some users mention higher than expected fees, the device's performance is generally well-received. A notable limitation is the lack of a chip reader in some models.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I was having a rummage sale and was selling some big ticket items. A couple days before the sale I decided to get a card reader to take credit card payments. I could have ordered a Square for free and waited a week for it to arrive but needed it right away. The $10 I spent buying it at the store was worth it considering the sales I was able to get at my rummage. Quick and easy to set up. Definitely worth it.

    bought this as s investment for chip reading cards --it is as simple and easy to use as the original square and a great alternative for chip readers --the cost of transactions are fair, set up is a breeze --be aware that the card reader needs to be charged and the battery life is long --not infinite

    In this day and age many people just don't carry cash or a even have a checkbook, so this littlr tech device has made transactions very easy for my youth group. Dues are paid on time and the turn around on cash to account is great. I don't know why it took me so long to get one, but I am very happy with it.

    I love my Square. It's easy to set up, easy to use. It makes the money exchange quick and fun! And the best part, Square puts MY money in MY account the next business day automatically. PayPal takes 3-4 days and you have to request it. It was super easy to buy the cube at BestBuy. One happy customer!

    So glad that Best Buy had this in stock. I needed one for a show I was doing and could not wait for Square to ship me one. It helped tremendously as I was able to sell twice as much because I could accept credit cards. Thank you so much!!!

    This product was so easy to use! And free! I had no troubles figuring it out and the $10 I paid for it was automatically credited back to my account when I set up my square. I got all of the money from the transactions that I used it for right away with no problems. I would HIGHLY recommend this product.
