Best Buy Stores, the HSBC Finance flagship for HSBC-backed credit cards, is effected by the recession. Best Buy Stores is clearly the least troubled of HSBC merchants. The Best Buy Card is issued and operated by HSBC Finance, once known as predatory Lender Household International.

Best Buy Co., the largest U.S. electronics retailer, said Tuesday second-quarter results fell below expectations as sales at established stores fell.

Still, the retailer raised its guidance for the year based on stabilizing customer traffic.

Profit for the three months ended Aug. 29 fell 22 percent to $158 million, or 37 cents per share, from $202 million, or 48 cents per share last year, hurt by higher expenses and the stronger dollar. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, on average, predicted a profit of 42 cents per share.

It is possible that Best Buy Stores has been Googled and investigated by consumers who now know the truth. Simply said, do not apply for a Best Buy credit card. Use your own instead.

Best Buy, which often advertises “No interest” plans if you apply for their card, tries to hook their customers. As HSBC manages the “interest free” plan consumers often ending up paying much more, including interest and late fees.
