Mine showed up as a revolving account when I did the same back in 1999.  I do not think this has changed.

Re: etail cards/best buy

Store cards that are revolving genereally show type revolving.  The lender codes as store card or major and this is reflected in the account number make up.  Store cards adds to your credit mix and from what a previous poster said, I would think it would be a good thing since they received a denial based on no store card history as one of the factors.

BTW all my store cards including BB retail show as revolving.
