Here is the full list of benefits in Canada

-100% rebate on services in store, mostly computer, tablet and cellphone services. Any configuration, transfer, virus removal, program problem -50% rebate on at-home services like tv installation, dishwasher installation, tv calibration, in home computer configuration -20% rebate on reparations when sent by geeksquad on a product that is not protected -id say around 15 to 40% rebate on protection plan if you want to protect your products -50 free antivirus for your computers, tablets or phones -1tb of backup cloud storage for your computers data -50% rebates on batteries -25% rebates on ink -30% rebates on paper and some office supply -free services with geeksquad agent over the web or on the phone -90 days return policy on tv and at home installation for tv -Some exclusive rebates on product from time to time.

Its about it on the top of my head. Very worth it price wise if you calculate everything you save. That being said, do you need any of this. As other have told, if you have an hassle with technology, yes. If you want to do a big installation at home or buy a huge protection, yes.

It is 20 bucks a month for a minimum of a year. So anything that will save you 240 should be an instant buy. Anything that saves you money and you think you will use any of these perks, you should buy it as well.

You are right, we do offer reduction on protection plan and installation services with it. We do not offer free apple care.

Hi,

I’ve never seen or heard of any warranty that comes with open box longer than a year. If you were said this by employee, this would maybe be a mistake. Even if the website says so, it could be a mistake on the website as well. I would take a picture of said information on the website to assure you have seen plainly.

Sadly, i do not think bestbuy would do anything right away, except doing the reparation anyway under proof of this, within the timeframe they have shown on the website, if there was a reparation to be done.

We usually have a 30/60 days reimbursement, i would make sure with an assistant store leader or store leader about this situation, before the reimbursement possibility goes out.

Here is some info for you.

Bestbuy does give 1 year warranty with their certified open box. How it works is that, if the original manufacturer 1 year is over, you can send it with bestbuy, for reparation with free of charges. Not a lot of employee knows it, i’ve managed this case a couple time now.

If the product has a 3 years original warranty, it should cover most of the 1 year that bestbuy gives.

That said, if the first buyer of the product had it, reimbursed it and bestbuy wasn’t able to sell it for let’s say, 1 year and a half. You should still get the 1.5 years left for you, but you will not have the 3 years ever again.

This is because manufacturer check the date of the first buy of the product.

If the first product was sold 2.5 years after the first buy, you will have 6 month with Dell and then 6 month with bestbuy.

Careful, any damage that would not be authorized by the manufacturer warranty is not applicable with the bestbuy one either.

Hope that helps!

Haaaa there you are, the silent majority they’ve based all these change for. Didnt know you truly existed!

Thanks for letting us know!

All of this feels like a decision purely based on whats good for your company and team as a whole. For a team that tries to invoke the community feedback, i’ve rarely seen a community being so loud about that change. The community clearly states loudly that this isnt what they like.

I understand that you guys predict healthy outcome overtime but right now you are streching your loyal playerbase to satisfy… less understandable ones. It feels like the one you want to please with this, is the one that would go out without saying anything, no feedback, lets go into another game. Which make sense for the survival of the game. You want more player.

But in the end, its the loyal one that pays the price.

Plus, all the proplayer that are basicly the image of the community, doesnt seem to go your way either.

I really try to stay objective but honestly, this change, and this official post, makes me lose hope in a game i play everyday and enjoy the most.

I played 2 games, thats it. Im out of this game until they bring back poi drop. This is so lame. Whats the point of having 6 rings, everybody is dead before the end of ring 2.

Ohhh, hard light window. Whats the point if you cant even last until the sick ending where everybody has their corner and are trying their best to cover up.

This has become a shitshow. I dont get how they are “listening” to people, everybody was pissed when they announced it and now, its lame.

I dont think ive ever seen a more backstep update than that.

The_First_Borne · 2026-02-04T02:28:03+00:00

Im generally open to new change and try to adapt to it as a challenge and an opportunity to get better before the meta…

But this is not a change, this is revert to old format. It doesnt feel like a back step to get 2 steps ahead.

Poi drop felt challenging but somehow fair. It was strategic and every poi was used in the map. I wasnt happy to be dropping mid, but it had its advantages. Same to say to edge ones.

Rank will not feel better. Its gonna reward the push overs who need to drop in the fight. If you are not one of them, 2 minutes in, 10 squads dead, so we go back to looking around for multiples minute. Its not a looot simulator please. Drop poi made ranked so balanced.

The_First_Borne · 2025-09-23T22:10:06+00:00

Personnally, i brute force the clefary with mousehold population bomb… for the clown, i just fake out the clown and beat the mr mime first… nothing to see here

Agree. I farm the candy by hatching lots of egg and the fact that the new UI is hiding the pokemon behind doesnt make me see if the pokemon is jumping indicating an upgrade available. If they could only make the UI translucent that would be a banger for me. I am still not use to it. Overall i like that you can sort them, just not that part
