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.

I got a Q90 75 inch 1304.99
What quality and location? Did you have to haggle for the 50% off?

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.
I called another local best buy. I was told It's Friends and Family Discount and I just need to "know an employee." I asked If I could know him. He said to just give the name Steven at another store (apparently he's the most popular and known by 4 stores around me) and to check another store in the morning as they have the most open box items. It was already 6 o clock and they were closing. No employee ID is needed. No Last name. No nothing. Just specifically ask for the Friends and Family discount and say I heard it from "Steven." Will call first thing in the morning and update if I get a top of the line Samsung Washer and Dryer for less than 700.

I would want to personally look at and inspect any open box appliance I was buying before hassling with store visit/pickup/transport.
How do you personally look at an open box before you visit?

Not true! Only one that came off the wall was my Samsung Q90. I also brought the overpriced 5-year warranty for 260.

Typically you could view this stuff in store. Now they don't let you in the store

No the person has in their message that they did find the deal, but also has a frowny face. Seems contradictory

tempted to buy online and then call to see if they will honor it, but I have a feeling they will deny the discount unless its at the time of purchase
If they do deny it then tell them to cancel it then rebuy with discount bananza coupon
