Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge displaying BEST BUY* TOTALTECH on your bank statement indicates an annual subscription billed by Best Buy Co., Inc. This fee pays for a My Best Buy Total Annual Tech Protection Membership, formerly known as Best Buy Totaltech. The membership provides technical support through Geek Squad and extended warranty coverage such as AppleCare+ on eligible hardware purchases. The descriptor on your statement may also appear as BESTBUY* TOTAL, BESTBUY.COM/TOTAL, or BEST BUY 888-237-8289.
Unreviewed registry note: This recurring charge of $179.99 bills automatically once every twelve months to the credit or debit card stored in your Best Buy customer account. Many customers sign up for the plan at the checkout counter to get free appliance installation or device protection on a new computer. Because membership terms include automatic annual renewal, the card on file is charged one year later unless you turn off renewal beforehand. Legacy Totaltech members were transitioned into the updated My Best Buy Total tier, which continues this yearly renewal cycle.
Common reasons for this charge
- Unreviewed registry note: An annual My Best Buy Total membership renewal auto-charged to your stored credit card.
- Unreviewed registry note: An ongoing monthly Geek Squad Protection plan on a computer or television.
- Unreviewed registry note: A legacy Totaltech membership auto-renewing under the updated My Best Buy Total program.
