Complaint / Review
Best Buy
Internet Bait and Switch

In searching for a sdhc memory card, I did a search through Google for a micro sdhc 16 gig card. Narrowing the results to nearby places of business Best Buy had a sale for a "PNY Hi-Speed Micro SDHC Class 10 for Tablet PCs Flash memory card - 16 GB microSDHC - 1 x microSDHC" that was listed exactly as below

Best Buy
2301 Southwest Military Drive, San Antonio
(210) 932-2054 -
Open today 10am10pm
$12.99
In stock

Upon arrival at the store all the pegs that had the PNY 16 microsdhc tag were empty and a note that stated it was a mistake in the stores advertising. New adds are released every Sunday and this was Thursday night. I asked an employee who stated there is the same card for $39.99.

Though mistakes happen there was reasonable time for Best Buy's advertising to correct the problem from five days prior. I captured an image the web page that stated the sale price and the card being in stock. This is not the first time that Best Buy has used a bait and switch to draw my business but, it will be the last time for me to fall for their illegal advertising tactics.
