How about this membership with the understanding that if any of my products had a problem, Best Buy would stand behind them and fix them. I bought a laptop from them and brought it back within the manufacturers warranty due to me having a ongoing online class I was informed by geek squad to bring it back at the end of the semester. When I brought it back, they have tried to charge me $80 extra just to fix it this laptop has not seen any kind of abuse and was functioning as a desktop and that it never moved. The charger does not stay plugged in and the battery is draining too fast.  Best Buy is lying to people to get them to buy this membership. Save your money and find a different place to buy your products..
Hello! In addition to added protection, as a My Best Buy Total™ member you also receive 24/7/365 support, member pricing, discounts on repairs and advanced services, an extended return/exchange window on most products, and more!

This membership is hooked to outsourced intervention, (re: South America ) in my case, and is extremely hard, and nearly impossible, to be placed in touch with the service agent that was originally hands on with my phone assessment, at Best Buy in Leominster Massachusetts. I paid for the membership thinking it would be a great access to, hands on, technical assistance. You can't just simply call the Leominster store. And the two persons, I spoke with on the phone recently to attempt making contact, actually lied to me about access. I had called to inquire about fake emails I am receiving from outside sources with exactly the amount I paid for my membership demanding 2 year payment for the exact amount I Paid. SO IT IS OBVIOUS BEST BUY IS SHARING OUR INFORMATION with secondary outsourcing. I am disappointed and am reporting this to the Federal Government for fraud.

I never always buy at Best Buy Port Arthur, so that I can get the Geek Squad help if I need it. I forgot to do this review at the time, but now that I just bought a new (expensive) laptop, I want to share my experience about why buying Total Tech is the smartest move you will ever make.
Update to a recent purchase and why I highly recommend Total Tech:
My new laptop, a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i, rates an A+, but it would not have without the Geek Squad, which was amazing! I cannot praise them enough for getting me through a difficult setup. Microsoft is being so intrusive now days that the average person is at their mercy to setup a device in a way that is acceptable and which successfully minimizes Microsoft's outrageously aggressive promotion of their products.
Truly, as far as I am concerned, my Total Tech cost paid for itself with this one purchase because I more than likely would have returned this $2,000 laptop (hey, don't judge, it was the only model with the ports I needed) if it had not been for the professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, and patience of Jacob (Geek Squad Tech), Emily (Geek Squad Manager), and Michael (the employee who set me up with Jacob). They were all beyond amazing. I am a granny who has had a horrible few years (lost my husband after a horrendous 5 year struggle with aggressive dementia), and I struggle to cope with any stress these days. The Geek Squad employees at Port Arthur, Texas, just did everything they could to minimize my stress. I just cannot tell you how much I appreciated them. So, yes, the Lenovo Legion gets 5 stars, but it was because the Geek Squad gets 10.
I HIGHLY recommend the Port Arthur Geek Squad and Best Buy Port Arthur, and, now that they did their magic to configure and customize my laptop, I am thrilled with it as well.
Truly, getting Total Tech (for several years now, even while struggling to stay in my home while my husband was ill) was one of the best decisions I EVER made!
Thank you, Jacob, Emily, Michael, Total Tech, and Best Buy PA!

Look, if you’re the kind of person who treats their electronics better than some people treat their pets, this membership is a no-brainer. Having everything covered under a protection plan brings me more peace of mind than yoga and chamomile tea. It’s way better to have protection and not need it than to have a nervous breakdown over a cracked screen or faulty components with no safety net. You probably already treat them better than your children anyway. At least this way you can give these back and get a new one when they s@$# the bed. Try that with a child and see how that works out for you. Go ahead. I'll wait.
And let’s be real for a second: if you proudly call yourself a gadget geek but can’t swing less than $200 a year to protect your precious babies, then my friend.... It might be time to pick up a new hobby, like knitting or competitive couponing. Totaltech isn’t just a membership, it’s a way of life.
Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because there is always room to improve. Like giving total tech members higher priority as well as notifications and queue updates to pre order high demand items like the Nintendo Switch 2. Looking at you Best Buy.

I can’t say enough good things about the Best Buy Total Rewards plan! One of the best benefits is not needing to buy separate insurance for future purchases—it’s already taken care of. My Samsung Watch Ultra was fully covered under the plan, and the experience was smooth and hassle-free. Knowing that my purchase was protected without the extra cost of insurance gave me real peace of mind.
I’m also planning to buy a new TV soon, and I’m already looking forward to enjoying that same level of coverage and convenience. The Total Rewards plan has absolutely made me a more confident and loyal Best Buy customer. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for value, protection, and reliability all in one place!

A LIL BACKGROUND
I'm just a regular person who loves technology, and I'm always, and I mean ALWAYS looking for ways to save money and make my life easier. That's why I joined My Best Buy Total after taking the long way around the pond for a long time.
I've been a BB regular member for a few years now but I just recently upgraded my membership to the My Best Buy Total Membership, and I've been really pleased with the value that it offers. I've saved money on extended warranties, and free 2-day shipping. I've also taken advantage of member-only deals and early access to new products.
In this review, I'm going to share my experience with My Best Buy Total and discuss whether or not it's worth the cost. I'll also provide some tips on how to get the most out of your membership.
I hope this review helps you decide whether or not My Best Buy Total is right for you.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BENEFITS
Free 2-day shipping on all orders, regardless of size or price. This is a huge convenience, especially if you shop at Best Buy frequently.
Exclusive member prices on a lot of items. I've already saved money on laptops and other devices.
Early access to new products and sales. Sometimes I love being able to shop for the newest gadgets before they're available to the general public.
Extended 60-day return window on most products. This is great for peace of mind, especially when you're buying expensive items, I've returned a few gadgets without any trouble thanks to this.
Geek Squad protection on all of your tech devices, regardless of where you bought them. This includes unlimited 24/7 tech support, in-home service, and more.
In addition to these core benefits, it also offers a number of other perks, such as free installation on select products, discounts on Geek Squad services, and access to exclusive member events.
Here are some EXAMPLES of how I've used the benefits of my membership to save money and make my life easier:
I saved $100 on a new iPad Pro when I took advantage of an exclusive member price and an extra $50 when I priced matched on flash sale after a few weeks of having the iPad.
I was able to get a ram upgrade of my laptop installed for free under the Geek Squad protection plan when I bought the ram stick at Best buy.
I was able to return a product that I didn't like after 60 days, thanks to the extended return window (this 60 days window work for price matches too).
I got help with setting up my new iPad from a Geek Squad technician, thanks to the unlimited tech support.
I hope this gives you a better understanding of the benefits of My Best Buy Total.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUE
Whether or not My Best Buy Total is worth the cost depends on a few factors, such as how often you shop at Best Buy, what types of products you buy, and how much you value the benefits of the membership.
If you're a frequent Best Buy shopper and you buy a lot of tech devices or if you are in the Apple ecosystem then it'll save you on Applecare+ (it's included in the membership perks), then it's definitely worth the cost. You'll save money on free 2-day shipping, exclusive member prices, and extended warranties. You'll also have peace of mind knowing that your tech devices are protected by the Geek Squad.
HOWEVER, if you don't shop at Best Buy frequently or you don't buy a lot of tech devices, then it may not be worth the cost.
Here's a simple WAY TO CALCULATE whether or not My Best Buy Total is worth the cost for you:
Add up the cost of all of the benefits that you would use, such as free 2-day shipping, exclusive member prices, and extended warranties.
Divide the cost of the membership by the amount of money that you would save on the benefits.
If the result is less than 1, then the membership is worth the cost for you.
For example, let's say that you would save $200 on free 2-day shipping, exclusive member prices, and extended warranties. The cost of the membership is $179 per year.
If you divide the cost of the membership by the amount of money that you would save on the benefits, you get 0.8. This means that the membership is worth the cost for you, because you would save more money on the benefits than the cost of the membership.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS
To get the most out of your membership:
Shop around and compare prices before you buy anything. Even though you get exclusive member prices, it's still important to compare prices to make sure that you're getting the best deal and CHECK for sales after you got the membership on the items you already bought so you can do a price match and save even more.
Take advantage of free 2-day shipping. This is a huge convenience.
Use your extended warranty. If you have a problem with one of your tech devices, be sure to use your extended warranty to get it fixed for free.
Get help from the Geek Squad. If you need help setting up your new tech devices or if you have a problem with one of your devices, the Geek Squad is there to help you.
Overall, I think My Best Buy Total is a great value for frequent Best Buy shoppers who buy a lot of tech devices. The benefits of the membership can save you more money than the cost of the membership.

The Best Buy total membership is one of the Best Purchases on the market today, bar none. Help and support are available by knowledgeable employees 24/7, so there is no need to panic. No waiting for stores to open or ‘the specialist in that area’ to return, etc. Drop off is a good service, also. Appointments are nice as well - saving time and gasoline. These I refer to as one-and-done. When a trip to the store is necessary, it is a pleasant experience because there is a nice atmosphere, employees are smiling and and welcoming, and have a willingness to be helpful, rather than just standing around like some stores offer.
