Unless they know his invoice #, there's no way to find his particular transaction. It's not linked to his name or anything, and credit card #s are not printed on reciepts, so you can't use a credit card to search the reciept database. Or he could have used cash.... Basically, you're talkin' out of your ass.

I think he's just thinking of CC, where they have a system for that. Where losing your receipt is OK.

They don't have a system for people who lose their reciepts, unless you buy the in store warranty. Same way with every electronics store.

Ive had a BB CSR search through my recent transactions to make an exchange using only my CC #.

So it is possible. I feel validated.

I don't understand why you can't/won't RMA it. 999/1000 of the tome you will get a working card back (whether it's new or refurb)

He said he paid cash so your point is still moot.

I'd say you're equally responsible for losing the receipt. If you had it, you could exchange it at Best Buy. But hey, if you'd rather lost $260 for a card than $10 on shipping, go right ahead. Stick it to the man. That'll really show 'em.

My previous reply to you Nebor was actually related to your original statement even though I quoted this exact statement. As per your second statement, CC can look up any transaction that was made with a CC, check, or cash(with a value of $100 or more & correct info from the customer) as far back as 5-7 years.

It's true that Circuit City does that. But their whole draw is customer service, w/ 10% price beating, retroactive price matching, etc.

The point is, you agree when you buy your item that returns are only possible with a reciept at Best Buy. Lose your receipt, that's your problem.

And while I do believe Best Buy does have some way of looking up those past transactions on a credit card, that's not what that system is for. If you lose your receipt, it's your own fault, so quit begging for a break.

You're an idiot for paying $264 in the first place. But yes, I would pay the same amount for an equivalent card, why not? You plan on returning a used card, no? So why expect anything other than a used card in return?

I never siad I was mad or pissed at ATI. I gave them a $265 chance and it was junk

Best Buy is who I'm pissed at...I mean they wont even give me nother 9800 Pro???

no.

you cannot prove you purchased it from them. therefore they are not obligated to accept your return. if you had given your name with your purchase (some places over a certain dollar amount they ask for your name with your purchase) they may have been able to find the receipt. they should have been able to find it if it was a CC purchase or by check.

there are people out there who will slip different video cards inside of boxes and return them hoping the customer service rep doesn't catch it. it happens. bb is covering their ass - you have no receipt, they don't have to accept your return.

you lost the receipt so now instead of getting a card that WORKS you'd rather be mad.

RMA it unless you want 260 bucks down the drain. this is retarded.

I wouldn't think he's that retarded. Esp about RobCur.

302efi: No, you got a new card, it didn't work. But oh, your "brother" fvcked up. Be pissed at him, be pissed in general because you're a dumbass to have bought it from BB in the first place. Don't be pissed at ATI.

CheapArse: None of these stores will really charge you the restocking. When you return, just say something was wrong with it, and be nice to the person handling your return.

No receipt = no luck.

Sorry, but it's not BB's fault, nor is it ATi's fault that you lost the reciept. And when I say you, I mean you, because if you know your mentally retarded brother has a tendency to lose things, why give it to him in the first place?

I believe you, I've seen them do it. I've also seen them decline someone's return based on the fact that their rate of return was so high. They had basically returned just about everything they'd ever bought. So that system can work against you.
