Minnesota, where I (and Best Buy Headquarters) are located requires:
"A seller must clearly and conspicuously display written notice of its policy in boldface type of a minimum size of 14 points. If a seller fails this requirement, cash refunds are required of goods that are acceptable for return."
Also, couldn't fraudsters circumvent this entirely by paying in cash?
- cloudkj 9y agoTo me it seems very similar to credit reporting agencies, so I would imagine much of it falls under the same buckets, legal or otherwise.
- chrishas35 9y ago> Also, couldn't fraudsters circumvent this entirely by paying in cash? Are they doing it off credit cards, or scanning your ID when you present the return and running that?
- gruez 9y agoI'm guessing it's legal because they warn you before denying it (ie. they allow you to return it this time, but warn you that you won't be able to return next time)
