Geek Squad descriptors

Geek Squad services and protection plans bill under their own descriptors: GEEKSQUAD ONLINE (online orders), GEEKSQUAD PLAN / GEEKSQUAD RENEW (protection plan purchase and annual renewal), GEEKSQUAD DIGSAL (digital sales), GEEKSQUAD WRTY (warranty). They're all Best Buy, but the distinct names make them look unfamiliar.

I see GEEKSQUAD DIGSAL — what did I buy?

DIGSAL is Best Buy's internal code for a Geek Squad digital sale (software, digital downloads, or services). It's still Best Buy billing you.
