Bought gift card, and it's not working!!! help?

Question

I bought a $100 best buy gift card, and went to check it out online, and it says that it hasn't been activated!!! I didn't keep the receipt, because I'm not the type that does. Is there any way to activate it my self? Or get the 100 i paid for it? please help me

Answer 1

There is no way  you can activate it yourself, if that was the case anyone would be able to activate those cards.  You can take it back  to  Best Buy and ask them to activate it, and let them know what day you purchased it, maybe they can find this information in their computers.  Other than that you are out of luck.

Answer 2

when i buy things at best buy they put my info in their computer so even if i dont have the receipt they have a record of me buying it. you may want to call the store you bought it at.

Answer 3

Sounds like the cashier didn't activate the card. They don't have them preloaded on the stands due to possible theft. I don't know what to tell you unless you paid via credit card and they may can look up the record of your purchase. Otherwise it's your word against theirs. And I doubt they will give you that $100.
