I just wanted to share my experience with purchasing the infinity pad from best buy. Below are 3 reasons why you should A) go through best buy and purchase your new infinity or B) return your tablet, if possible, to the store you purchased it from and purchase it again through best buy...

1) As many of you know i along with many others was able to purchase the pad from best buy for a 347.49 due to online price matching. Acquiring a tablet of this calibre for that price alone is probably reason enough.

2) Next reason is their 30 day return policy. Alot of us have had minor QC issues with the infinity. Best buy allows you to return the tablet as many times as you want within 30 days until you get one that is "perfect". This is much easier then doing an rma or online exchange. I dont know about you, but i would get frustrated having to mail back my tab, receive a new one, find out it also has a defect and do the return all over again. With best buy its extremely convenient with most stores allowing you to open the tab in the store to check if its to your liking.

3) [MOST IMPORTANT] Insurance policy! By purchasing their insurance for $99.00, you get complete accident and in store replacement for a year. However that's not the best part. Remember best buy typically removes older products from their shelves and store inventory to make room for newer products from the same manufacturer. We all know asus will eventually come out with a newer tablet within the next year, which means instead of replacing our infinities with another tf700, they will replace it instead with the newer tablet from asus. Once you get the new one, just buy the 1 year insurance and the cycle continues!

I honestly cant see any reason why to not go through them from now on... Not only will you get the same price as the online retailers, but also once you get the insurance you've basically paid for the next version of your tablet.

I purchased the Transformer Prime from them.

7 months later I returned it in for full credit refund honoring the 1 year manufacture warranty due to defects of the Wifi/GPS.

Got a Infinity out of that. :cyclops:

no need for that $99 store warranty, etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Nice! Problem is that there arent any real manufacture defects on the infinity. At least nothing made public by asus. So it would be really hard to honor that now. You would have to make a real case to best buy in order try that on the infinity. By doing the 1 year you wouldnt have to worry. Just say you have a "defect" and your good to go.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mike02z:
Think it mat be a bit early to say that. There are certainly i/o issues which is most likely a hardware defect. How about all the screen separation issues?

I agree about buying at Best Buy. I buy most larger electronic device there. I had them return 2 Prime's and a dock with little more than an email and phone call. I pre ordered one and ordered the second for my son Christmas eve. I did not have their extended warranty.

I use SquareTrade warranties for electronics They are about 1/2 the cost and their service is excellent. I got 2 years plus accidental damage for 87 after a 30% discount. A much better deal than BB IMHO.
[Asus Transformer TF700] junrider:
Yup,as long as asus doesnt admit on any defect there is a slim chance of getting a free upgrade and the infinity has to be discontinued like the prime. For insrance its cheaper to buy it at squaretrade 2yrs with adh and using a 30% discount its only $69.99
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
The problem with squaretrade to me is convenience. With best buy, although it might be more expensive, you can literally walk in and out with a new tablet without having to wait. Also, with squaretrade you would never be able to get a newer version of the product you ordered. They would either send you a refurbished model, or prorate the amount of what it would cost to buy the product currently. So if you buy an infinity and 2 years later try to use your warranty, they will either send you a refurb or give you the prorated amount to purchase that tablet at a local vendor.

The purpose of buying the insurance from best buy is to eventually purchase the newer version of the tablet. If you don't want to get the newer version then squaretrade is a great deal. I for one want to be able to get the tfXXX when ever it arrives. Or at least have the option of using my warranty for that purpose.

are you sure it works like that ? so for example iphone 3 owners buy the warrenty and the next year they can get an iphone 4 then the 4s and now the 5 ? hm. should look into this more . also asus is going to focus on their windows hybrids for a while now before going back to making an android tab. the fine line between tab and dock and full OS + keyboard is getting cut soon thats what worries me that i bought into a "phase of technology" and soon its gonna be all about touchscreen detachable laptops
[Asus Transformer TF700] junrider:
I doubt that will happen. Look at the prime, its shelf life was about 7-8months because of the defect in design which Asus has openly mentioned. So far Asus hasnt openly admitted on anything wrong with the infinity and it may look that after your year is up the shelf life will probably be longer than your warranty. So your option to upgrade will probably be not available if there are infinities to order, look at the TF101 its still available for sale at best buy. All you can do is keep your fingers cross and Asus can admit a defect on the inifinity and not last a full year on the shelf. But Best buy is a good place for quick exchanges and return window.. thats where i got my note 10.1 and I have 60 days to play with it, well maybe 40+ days now.. if I ever wanna go back to the infinity or incase a better tablet gets released before my 60 days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Exactly, as long as best buy has discontinued selling that iphone 3 then you get the comparable product. As for buying into a phase, i highly doubt it. Asus has a massive deal with google, so i highly doubt they will be "refocusing" on windows products this early, especially with android outpacing nearly everyone. Asus will be making android tabs and phones for years to come.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Actually all the best buys in my area have discontinued both the prime and tf101. Best buy stocks the budget and premium tabs for each company. Since the tf300 is considered to be the "budget" tablet, there was no need to keep the tf101 or prime with the infinity. Also it doesnt matter if asus admits a defect. If you get the best buy insurance and say your tab is broken, they have to replace it with a comparable product. If the infinity is no longer sold ( which it wont be a year from now in BEST BUY) then they will replace it with the next asus transformer tablet available.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Have you ever heard of something called fraud or, at the very least, being dishonest?? I'm sorry, but claiming there is a defect (when there really isn't one) just to "get the newer model" a year or two later is simply not right and probably considered fraud. This is the one of the reasons that Best Buy will be going out of business soon - because of acts like this. Enjoy "cheating" the system while you can because like I said, it's acts like this that will put Best Buy out of business.

Besides, I find it very hard to believe that you can just walk in a year later and simply say that the tablet is defective and they will just gladly hand you a brand new model. The TF201 was a very unique circumstance where the manufacturer basically admitted that the product was faulty. Even if it were not considered fraud (which I believe it is), I think that they would at least want to see the defect before handing you a brand new model.

I was trying so hard not to even enter this conversation, but encouraging others to commit fraud with you is simply not right and I highly doubt that it would work anyway. Like I said, the TF201 was a very unique case that most likely won't happen again.

C'mon people, let's not turn into being thieves here... If you enjoy being able to go to the local Best Buy to buy products, then don't abuse the system for personal gain - it will just hurt everyone in the long run.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mightymike889:
Can someone post the link where they got it for that price for best buy to match cause ill grab 1
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Lol well im sorry if you feel "morally" wrong about doing something like this but honestly i really dont care. I'm here to show that you can get a great deal from best buy. Also it was one of the managers that told me about the deal since im a frequent customer. Once you return the tablet, they will end up reselling it since they will find it is not "defected" ( say you are having power fluctuations with the battery, its something they cant test in the store and have to take your word on it since you already purchased insurance from them) and make a profit on it. On top of that, you are paying the $99 for the insurance. SO its not an actual complete loss for the company.

Best buy wont be going out of business because of people like me, they will be going out of business because they are amazons show room and people are slowly moving towards online retailers to purchase products for cheaper prices. At least with me they are getting something out of it. If you dont like this Jtrosky, then simply ignore the thread and move along. To everyone else who cant afford the latest and greatest from asus every year, I think this is great deal!

Where did you find it for 347.49? I can't find one for less than 499. I just got my Infinity by returning my Prime to Best Buy for an exchange. Is the price match only for online purchases?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Those are links for two sites sitting on servers in Russia in post 34.

Absolutely no real details about purchases, contacting, ordering and 2.99 shipping (yeah right.)

Did anyone actually read the return\exchange policy on Best Buys website?

The policy reads they won't match competing on-line prices.

They will match local competing prices from another store within 25 miles.

Best Buy will probably let a few get away with a relaxed policy for a while.

Then after things pick up for them they'll tighten up like Fry's and Amazon have done.

A lot of retailers offer 1-2-3 year no questions asked warranties for $$$.

Those are designed to suck money from your pocket out of fear.

I don't think hordes of tablet buyers are going to gain anything here.

IMO it's you against corporate retail...there's only one winner there.

...flame on...
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Look in the post above for details on how to get the price match. Also i brought the add in (on my phone) to best buy and they did a price match.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Ok you are seriously really late. Myself along with plenty of others have done the price match. If you continue reading on the post the guy even posted his receipt as proof. If you need more proof ( and judging from your flame first attitude you probably will) i will post a copy of my receipt as well. Doesn't matter what their policy says, that's what they priced match.

Also they definitely changed that rule because every best buy in my area will price match amazon and online retailers.

Also your last paragraph.... what are you even saying lol?

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I have also read countless posts where Best Buy would *not* price match an on-line store - just because it a few managers let it slip buy doesn't change the fact that the policy is very clear about this - ask the folks that were denied....

And on the "lie" to Best Buy in order to cheat them - the problem is that it affects *everyone* when you do such childish things. People like you are the exact reason why places like Office Depot won't even let you return open electronics *at all* - you can only exchange items for the exact same item, period. So, again, you are hurting *everyone* when you do this crap.

If you want to do it fine, but don't go encouraging others to do it - that's my point - I'm sure I could report this thread and get it closed for that very reason - you are encouraging others to do illegal things. I'm not the "reporting" type though, so I'd rather let everyone know why this is a problem and why they shouldn't do it. If you can't afford to support your "electronic habit" that doesn't give you the right to purposely cheat retail stores, regardless of who told you to do it.

It's wrong and quite frankly, it's illegal - period. Nothing is free in life - like I said, you are just hurting every other consumer (as well as Best Buy) when you do this crap.

Carry on...
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
So please explain to me why this is illegal? According to the terms of best buy insurance, it will cover accidents of any kind, minus theft or lost. If the product is not in stock, then they will replace the product with a comparable product. So if my infinity "breaks", or is not to my likeing ( ie battery isnt working right, screen is lifted, working slow---all of which can be claimed at best buy via their policy of insurance returns) then they will replace it. How is that illegal? Please state how best buy will have me arrested for bringing my product purchased with their insurance and have me arrested.

Honestly it no worth arguing with you. Plenty of people on here are doing it and im just letting everyone know the option is available to them. You are taking this waaaaaaay to personally. Again this is a free forum to express my opinion. If you dont agree with it, thats your problem. Thanks for your input.

It's illegal because you aren't talking about an "accident" - you are telling folks to go into Best Buy with a product that works as it did on day 1 and you are telling them to commit fraud by lying to Best Best by "making up" a defect that isn't actually present, just so you can get a newer model - that is *not* what the accidental damage plan is for and you know it! If there is something truly wrong with your device and you want to get it replaced, that's one thing - to make up a completely false reason, just to get a newer device, then that is fraud, which is illegal!

To make matters worse, you are fully on planning on committing fraud from day one.

I'm not going to keep going back and forth about this - you know you are wrong - you are just purposely trying to take advantage of the system by lying and being dishonest, which hurts us all in the long run with higher prices and stricter return policies. Again, if you want to be a thief, then by all means, do so, but don't encourage it on a public forum.

I believe in karma, so it'll come back to bite you in the end. I can't wait to see your face when they ask you to show them said defect and when you can't, they'll deny you. Then you'll find that you actually wasted your $99! :) So much for "saving" money...

Good luck... At least everyone knows who they can and can't trust because of this thread! This will be my last post on the matter. Again, you know it's wrong - I'm not the moral police, but things like this end up hurting me (and everyone else), and that's what I am taking it personally (that and the fact that you are just so proud of yourself for being so dishonest!)....

[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
Actually from what I was told, as long as you purchase the $99 warranty you can return it no questions asked.

I feel that although they do not hinder performance of the device, any bit of light bleed, dust under screen, lifted screens, or anything that causes a specific device to be less than perfect or less than what it was advertised as is good enough reason to return / replace the product. I bought the $99 warranty from Best Buy and I plan on using it due to the problems mentioned above.

On a side note, I was also told that if you don't use the $99 warranty within the 1 year period, they refund you that $99 as Best Buy credit. But what are the chances of getting a perfect Infinity on the first try?
[Asus Transformer TF700] 53fireman:
My 2 local Best Buys went as far as checking local inventory online for an Office Depot price match before they matched the sale price for a printer a few months ago. You guys are lucking out with your experiences. Bought my Infinity on Amazon and a squaretrade warranty, I was happy with that until reading all these reviews on the Note 10.1. Oh well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] junrider:
If you have a reward card with bestbuy and you make sure all your bestbuy purchases are recorded. If you accumulate I believe 2,500 points in a calendar year, you are upgraded to Silver Premier which one of the perks is 60 days of returns no questions asked. If your not a Silver Premier you only get 30 days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nefariouss:
Actually what we've learned is who are the dishonest thieves around here. If your sole intention is to buy from best buy so in 10 months from now you can claim a defect or unsatisfied with the product that has been there since day 1 just to get the latest and greatest that goes against the spirit of the policy. Just like accidental damage doesn't mean going outside and smashing it with a sledge hammer. Then claiming it was damaged accidently.

In the long run its lead to increased insurances policies and more strict return policies.

And this is not a public free forum. If so there wouldn't be over zealous moderators and dirty word filters. And the notion of starting threads with the intention of defrauding a company is not allowed by xda.

However carry on with your crusade against those who call you out.

First they send me a shipping kit which took like 3 days to arrive. Ship my laptop back to them, 8 days i call back because there was not status update on it, and she gave me a refund for my total purchase. I rather go to best buy walk in and exchange it for something else if my tablet goes bad.
