I bought a upconvert dvd player more than 30 days ago and it started skipping and freezing up badly, so i was debating on buying the same model and doing the switcheroo and returning. But my question is, if buy it with my credit card and return it will i get a gift card back or credit to my credit card?

yah cause calling them and asking about their return policy, or checking their website, is such a bad idea.

even common sense would tell you they will credit your credit bard back as long as you have a receipt.

Make sure there isn't a serial number on the box. If there is, you'll have to swap the innards out. Been there. Not hard to do.

Not necessarily true unless they've changed things. A couple years ago I once bought something at BB with my credit card and a day or so later decided to return it. I was told that I would not be getting a charge back to my card...I had to use the amount as store credit towards something else.

Jeez, no wonder why everyone complains about Best Buy. Stop abusing the system, asshats, and maybe the return process wouldn't be such a PITA for honest customers.
