    Unfortunately they will still reject any claims made since Best Buy purchased ASUS computers are not included in the ASUS 360 Warranty or ADW.

    Even though you may make it through the first step i.e. the website, the Best Buy paperwork will invalidate your registration once it is received or at the time of a claim.

    From the ASUS ADW website.....

    The first Disclaimer:
    ** For notebooks purchased on or after Sept. 10, 2007. The ASUS 360 Notebook Service Program and Accidental Damage Warranty covers “ASUS” brand notebooks only, and does NOT extend to: “Built on ASUS,” “ASMobile,” “Powered by ASUS,” the Eee PC, or some other models. These retailers are currently among the companies that do NOT participate in the ASUS 360 Notebook Service Program and Accidental Damage Warranty: Best Buy, MicroCenter, and The Source by CircuitCity in Canada. Limited of one claim per notebook for Accidental Damage Warranty. ASUS reserves the right to discontinue this program and to modify the terms and conditions thereof at any time. ASUS Accidental Damage Warranty Program starts from the date of your ASUS notebook purchase, when all the requirements are met.


    The FAQ:

    What retailers don’t participate in the program?

    Currently Best Buy, Best Buy Canada, Micro Center, and The Source by Circuit City in Canada do not participate. Notebooks bought from these retailers are not covered by the ADW or ASUS 360.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't want folks making choices based on incorrect information.
