Deal Details
QA Edit: Seems the 50% off appliance part of this deal may have died but users as of today 5/1 still say they're getting the 50% off on open box TVs still. So we will let this thread stay in Hot Deals for another day or so, for users that still can get it.
------------------------

I was shopping around for a new washer/dryer, and picked out a pair by LG. Called in to the store to find out what might be damaged on the washer since you can't go in and see it. The Best Buy website lists the open box price as $695.99. They went over and looked at it, told me about the scuffs, and then mentioned "oh, and the open-box promotion brings it down to $347.99

I bought it, then called the other Best Buy that had the matching dryer, also as open-box. I asked them what was wrong with it, and about the price since "another Best Buy said you're running an open box promotion" and we all know that could be specific to one location or whatnot. The guy on the phone said the price I got the washer for was crazy, he'd never heard of such a thing. He went to explain that open box pricing changes all the time depending on the new item sale prices etc, but he'd ask his manager. He came back and said that there's an additional coupon he has to scan, for 50% off open box major appliances. The Geek Squad extended warranty price is based on the price you pay, not MSRP, so that also goes down in price should you be interested.

Pricing on the website does NOT reflect this promotion. You must call the store so they can scan the coupon, and pay over the phone. My order doesn't show any SKU for a coupon, just the super-low price.

So its major appliances and TVs? Or all open box items that are listed satisfactory or below?
Yes, Sir! That is correct.

My local best buy said it's an employee discount that leaked and is causing confusion. If you're able to take advantage of the confusion - go for it!

My store is already closed. I am going to call tomorrow though. It might be active here because I see a washer I was watching no longer available. Looked like it fell off a truck and I was going to call and make an offer of about half what they were asking. I see another option available that would be even better at 50% off as long as it isnt worse than the one I saw. Guess we see tomorrow.

That is weird since I got two different locations to honor it (one had the washer, the other had the dryer) 🤷 ♂️

They are calling it a friends and family sale. Everyone is welcome to it.

My local BB in LQ said the best is $50 off. I can try the others nearby, but they said there was no indication of the deep discount. Love to see the coupon code, promo designation, or actual coupon if someone finds it.

I'll try to call one of the stores back tomorrow and see if I can get a coupon SKU or something. I didn't want to do anything to jeopardize my my purchase before it was finalized Smilie

I was told the same thing but I needed a coupon code before they could honor the discount.

Called one of my local best buy. After some hold time she came back and said I had to know an employee and go directly through them . I asked if I could go directly through her. She said no. I'll call another and check.
