How to Find Your Best Buy Receipt

Short answer: For online orders, sign in to BestBuy.com and open Order History to view or print the receipt. In-store purchases appear in your account if you gave your My Best Buy phone number or email at checkout, or used a My Best Buy Credit Card; otherwise search your inbox for the e-receipt, or have Best Buy look up the purchase from the card you used by contacting a store or customer service.

Best Buy keeps digital records of purchases connected to your account, which matters for returns, manufacturer warranties, and business or electronics deductions. Whether you can pull a receipt yourself depends on whether the purchase was linked to your My Best Buy account or a Best Buy card. Here is each route.

Every way to find your Best Buy receipt

1. Online orders (BestBuy.com or the app)

  1. Sign in to BestBuy.com or the Best Buy app.
  2. Open Order History from your account.
  3. Select the order and choose to view or print the receipt or invoice.

2. In-store purchases linked to My Best Buy

  1. If you provided your My Best Buy phone number or email at checkout, or used a My Best Buy Credit Card, the purchase is tied to your account.
  2. Sign in and open your purchase history to find and print the in-store receipt.

3. E-receipt in your email or a card lookup

  1. If you chose an emailed receipt at checkout, search your inbox for the Best Buy e-receipt.
  2. Otherwise, contact a Best Buy store or customer service with the card used, the date, and the store, and they can look up the purchase.

When Best Buy has your receipt on file

Online orders always live in your Order History. In-store purchases are stored in your account only when they were linked at checkout, by your My Best Buy phone number or email, or a My Best Buy Credit Card.

If nothing was linked, Best Buy can often still locate the transaction from the payment card at a store or through customer service, or you rely on the emailed e-receipt.

Returns and warranties

Within the return window, Best Buy can usually look up an in-store purchase from the card used or your My Best Buy account, so bring the card and a photo ID. Having the receipt on your phone speeds it up.

For a manufacturer warranty on electronics, the itemized receipt showing the item, date, and price is what you will need, so save a copy as soon as you retrieve it.

Keeping Best Buy receipts for taxes

Computers, phones, cameras, and other electronics bought for work are deductible (often expensed under Section 179), and the IRS expects the itemized receipt, not just a card statement.

For a big-ticket business purchase, capture the receipt right away and note the business use, so the deduction and its proof are stored together instead of tracked down months later.

Good to know

  • Give your My Best Buy phone number or email at checkout so in-store purchases are saved to your account.
  • Keep the itemized receipt for business electronics, you may expense them under Section 179.
  • No linked account? A store or customer service can look up an in-store purchase by the card you used.
