I'm pretty sure that with the first authorization they can charge you up to the full amount without another authorizations.
Hmm it still wouldn't be enough to cover the $599.99 + tax... Might be worth it as the worst that could happen is having to return the TP, no?

Ordered! I have until the 9th to pick up my crappy desktop at the local BB and the TP should arrive by the 9th as well. :)

Hmm so it seems to be trying to authorize for the full amount...
make a 500 card and spend the 350 on something (gc) before they can figure out what happened. Unless they really do charge both together....

Please clarify: Now that the $150 authorization didn't work, what is the plan how to get the touchpad for $150 and return the laptop? Simply by not picking up the laptop? And if they end up 'fining' you for doing that then just return the touchpad??

Updates?
The Touchpad arrived a few days ago and BB charged the full order amount (Touchpad + Computer + Tax) to the VCC.
The Computer should technically get canceled today as I did not pick it up.
Now we shall see what happens with the refund...

I have ordered many times from bestbuy with the ship to store option... I have picked it up a few days after the "cancel" date. I dont think it will get canceled.... also the store will probaly call you asking you when ur comin to pick it up...

I'm curios what the outcome will be - I was thinking of purchasing this deal too and try to leave the laptop in store... When i finally decided i was gonna purchase - it was too late

(i just got a android honeycomb 3.2 tablet)

Hmmm, how does BB usually handle it when only part of the order is fulfilled?

When ordering 2 items on BB and if you pick up only one you only get billed for the one you pick up - the 2nd item will get canceled if you dont pick it up

I have ordered a handful items, and only a few came to the store... I picked them up .... then the rest came and I picked those up...

But do you typically get charged then refunded if no pickup?

I never didnt pick up... I did ask the sales person last time I was there what happens if I dont pick up... they told me I'll get refunded
And usually they put the full charge on the cc at time of order
