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.

Any way to filter by grade of open box? There are 3-4, the lowest being really bad and the best being practically new.

Will they deliver?
Delivery is available for items over $399

Delivery is only curbside drop off. They do not go into your home

Someone who got this deal - can you post a receipt image so we can have something substantial?
Mention a friends and family deal. That should work itself. Have them ask a manager

So its major appliances and TVs? Or all open box items that are listed satisfactory or below?
Tv prices are as listed. They're 50% off the sale prices for items listed as fair and satisfactory. The appliances are 50% off the open item price with friends and family coupon.

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!
It's not an employee discount , but a friends and family discount.

No. It only works on open item major appliances.
