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.

when you called the Mansfield location what did you mention ? In reference to discount

That's my hometown store !
Thanks
The Mansfield store phones did not work. So I had to drive over to them 😂 The other two stores picked up right away. No reference needed this was a email they got on Friday to start Discounting the TVs 50 percent off. It's supposed to be a friends and family but it's everyone.

So, the only way to get this deal is to physically go to the store and have them manually put in the 50% additional off? It cannot be done online?

Would this qualify on cameras?
I see numerous info about it applying to not only appliances but TVs as well. Does it just apply to anything listed as open box satisfactory and below?

So it doesn't look like there is any delivery on these? Curbside pickup only? Might be a deal breaker for me since I am looking for a fridge
