I went to the Best Buy in Chino Hills twice to finally get some money back. I say "some" since the store manager only gave me a $5 gift card instead of $6.20 in the tax difference. Even after reading a copy of the above article and the BOE official notice, she still did not want to refund the tax. Just a note to others in the same situation: be persistent if you want the tax refund. Thank you Gadgetress for the info. I went to the Best Buy in Chino Hills twice to finally get some money back.

I'm sure others will benefit from the news. Unfortunately, I used the government coupons several months ago and Circuit City charged me sales tax on the full price. The overcharge was only about $3 per converter box, so I'll just let the state keep the excess sales tax. I figure it doesn't make sense to hassle the store for a few bucks and the state could use the extra bucks. Thanks for the heads-up. I’m sure others will benefit from the news.
