    anyone know what the requirements to be accepted to the BestBuy program are?

    My app was declined and my emails asking for clarification, were not responded.

    Is this your first rejection? If so move on, there are plenty more that will suffice for Best Buy products

    not the first..

    but my site is targeted toward consumer electronics buyers. so naturally BestBuy would be an excellent fit.

    just curious if anyone knew their criteria.

    This is from their TOS...

    Do you have anything on your site that says best buy? When I first started with Best Buy I had a blank page and they accepted me...lol. I suggest trying again, maybe switch up your page...And put up the % off codes, those have made me some good money...
    good luck

    Maybe you have some products in your site that make them confuse with the copyright? You can try to cut off some codes, and make the design more simple.
