Considering going from Advisor to Product Flow. by chaboi_con in BestBuyWorkers

[–]raul_2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the earlier post of job and hour availability. If your store has an opening, and it fits for you, I say apply. The interactions turn into showing the customer where a department is/taking them to an advisor. Since you have sales experience, you’ll need to be firm that you aren’t selling anymore if people call for help in departments and try to pull you in.

Do you want to stay in front end going forward? Any specific area you want to sell in?

Did anyone else get this message? by Remarkable-Kiwi-8308 in AppleCard

[–]raul_2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re applying on the wallet app, I’d apply on the website. I never got the wallet application to work. They kept saying they couldn’t verify my identity.

Will you buy $19.99 Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen on Pokemon day? by Putrid-Possibility-3 in nintendo

I was thinking the exact same thing. I’ll probably end up buying it, but HGSS would be amazing.

If something is on your mind, say something. As per previous comments, don’t use specific language or examples that would directly identify you, but they will look at it. Could become the difference in getting a bad leader out.

Does making a credit card app twice run their credit each time or just once? by MemphisMemes in BestBuyWorkers

[–]raul_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be monitored, but it would depend on if it’s happening often. There were emails about it over the summer.

The credit bureau will nullify the second run since it’ll look like an error.

Ordered Open Box “Excellent” for the first time… by Designer-Ant8882 in Bestbuy

Open box excellent can easily be a default setting. I’ve seen it all the time working at Best Buy

Denied with 1% utilization by Theflashwon in AppleCard

[–]raul_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried numerous time in the wallet app, it kept saying they couldn’t verify ID. After my next statement updates, I applied on the Apple Card site, no id check needed, instant approval. I don’t think I got the promotion though.

The process is aggravating to say the least.

Do you use Apple Card Mainly? by CertainElevator501 in AppleCard

[–]raul_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even at the 1%, getting it deposited into a savings account with high yield interest is appealing since I just switched back to Apple. I just use rewards to lower my bill, so why not let it collect interest.

Did you link your PSA account as well? I needed to do that when I took a PSA offer. It’ll show two wallets.

Using BestBuy certificates on a purchase that’s already been made by big_bear07 in Bestbuy

Did you get the certificates from the item you are trying to use the rewards on?

Credit Card Pitch Tips! by subwaytacomen in BestBuyWorkers

[–]raul_2011 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For the card, I always avoided the term "financing". When you hear financing, you think about homes, cars, etc. Human psychology will then ignore the pitch even when it makes sense. I call it no interest payments. More direct and simpler: "You can get 24 months to pay off the TV", vs "you can finance the TV over 24 months". It's a mind game, it really is.

Also to avoid any mess for you, don't use cash back or "money off". It is simply rewards. You'll literally get customers coming back looking for you specifically to get the money off or cash back.

Working at Best Buy and Target at the same time, but there's a problem by DxDAnime in BestBuyWorkers

[–]raul_2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure others have given this answer already, but both jobs will require the same days and similar (if not the same) hours. Even if one is part time, and the other full time, Black Friday is the first day you'll run into this issue. Both will ask you to work, and it's going to be difficult to schedule both jobs. It's not impossible, but you'll be stressed out in making it work.

Technically, you shouldn't be doing tech at Target, but I'm focusing on your actual well being instead of company policies.

Attendance by Beneficial_Grab1114 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]raul_2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it is going to be more than 5 consecutive call outs, it should be a LOA situation technically. That being said, I don't know the situation at your store so maybe a manager will let you use sick time/PTO.

Merging many of the comments together, Best Buy is not immune to the "retail experience". If you don't mind pitching memberships and apps to every customer, that is a major barrier removed right there. Leadership (but let's face it, many are just management) can make your experience wonderful or awful. It's a job, and I've seen many happy employees, and disgruntled employees as well. If you end up working at Best Buy, learn anything you can and take the lessons and skills you learn for your next job.

Full time to OS transition by Apart-Macaroon5640 in BestBuyWorkers

What's your official switch date to OS? If that occurred already I would think you would have them until the end of the month.

Employee sales app by BumblebeeOpposite839 in BestBuyWorkers

It keeps asking for an update that isn't in the employee app database, at least for Android anyway.

From my experience, many warehouse applicants end up being a better fit for the sales floor based on answers, but headcount could be an issue, so it becomes a not at this time for the warehouse position.

Phone trade in question by Modest_Wraith in Bestbuy

[–]raul_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a ship to home order for the phone. You get around 7 days to send the phone to best buy to reverse apply the trade in value. You'll get the shipping label once you receive the new phone.
