Best Buy no longer taking Google Wallet?

You know they are in trouble when...


You search for something on their mobile app and it refers you to buy.com for pricing and purchasing.

this doesn't have anything to do with google wallet. my chase visa has nfc built in as well and of the 4 or so best buys i go to regularly, the nfc has not worked once ever in those stores. works everywhere else, just like google wallet

They may have neglected to renew their license for the contactless payment software, so it isn't working. From experience, the software is incredibly expensive, so they may have just decided to stop offering it. Or they could be in the middle of POS upgrades and nfc is a temporary casualty.

Hey Hey! lol we're not that bad. IF you seen the training they put us through, i think at least consumers would appreciate us as people.

Dude, you work at BB? Whoa...no offense, but here in the NYC area, with the exception of the one off Northern Blvd. and Union Square, they provide a truly unpleasant shopping experience. The employees in the Mobile Dept. at the BB at the Atlantic Mall act like gangsta's.

Not hating, just saying...

Went back to BB and tried to use Google Wallet once more, and I got the following explanation from the cashier... "We shut down Pay Pass because not enough customers used it and it was costing the company too much money."

Its crazy expensive. The annual licensing fee for my company, with 450 stores, is over a million bucks.

FYI Best buy is not in trouble. They have over 4 billion cash in the bank. You don't go bankrupt when you have that much in the bank. Their recent loses have been due to their expansion in Europe. Even then, they weren't really loses. It's complicated, but trust me when I tell you then Best Buy is doing just fine.

I just had a meeting today at work(BB) we are fine. There's a crap ton of new job openings and stores being opened. It's just that all you hear is employees laid off and closed stores. We are fine.

These statements are false.

I work at BB Mobile in upstate NY and yes the company is doing just fine. Don't always believe what the media tells you. As far as the NFC goes, I don't think they ever worked at our store. I will probably try to buy something myself with google wallet to test it out.

Best Buy not on the current working merchants. Nor is McDonald's. Burger King is though.

Google Wallet - where it works

The list is irrelevant. If they accept PayPass, wallet will work.

Why is it that these companies think dollars routed through another merchant's bank are different than theirs? Yes, they don't have to pay a fee if it's their own and they're probably making some of the rake, but you're seriously refusing sales? If want to make 30% of $1,000,000 but then you'd rather make 100% of $0.00 than 15% of $1,000,000... you're a ing moron.
