About Best Buy Receipts

Best Buy receipts include the 7-digit SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) for each item — different from the manufacturer's model number. For high-value items like TVs, laptops, and phones, the receipt also includes the device serial number, which is critical for Geek Squad protection claims and insurance documentation. Best Buy receipts show My Best Buy points earned, Geek Squad Protection plans purchased with the item, and the unique transaction number.

Best Buy in Numbers

Best Buy was founded in 1966 as Sound of Music in Minneapolis, rebranded as Best Buy in 1983. Today it operates 1,000+ stores across the US, Canada, and Mexico with $40B+ annual revenue. The Geek Squad was founded in 1994 and acquired by Best Buy in 2002 — it now has 20,000+ Agents providing technology services nationwide. My Best Buy Plus and Total programs (launched 2023) extended the standard 15-day return window to 60 days for members.
