Best Buy....am i wrong?

am i correct in thinking that the store card from Best Buy carries an af of $59 or is it the mc that carries the fee? in either event is it even worth having if you shop at best buy say once or twice a year with a 4-600 spend each time?

Re: Best Buy....am i wrong?

It's the MC version that has the AF, store cards have no AF.   In the event if you are shopping at BB, it offers either 5% or 6-18months no interest financing.  I'm debating whether if should pay the AF for mine and keep it, no interest financing option sounds pretty good sometimes when and if need it.

Did you have it from when it was CAP ONE or Citi?

 

I'd suggest calling a backdoor number or to go into a store and ask an associate if they could call our in-store routed number for a CLI or to get your AF taken off.

Depending on who you get in the stores I know this is hard to do.

At my location everyone is well trained and able to do this easy, go to a hyper busy store may not be able to

I had it when it was Cap1, and already tried to get the AF removed a numbe of times but so far no luck.

Store card no AF

Two versions of MC, one with AF one without.
