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.

For what it's worth, I was told it was on select open box inventory that's been sitting for a while. The online price will reflect the 50% discount. Although I haven't seen anything online to confirm this.

Yep. Sounds like a couple stores either screwed up, didn't care, or desperately needed the sell.

Strange thing is why everyone got all different answers... some say employee only, some say coupon code, and some say online only...

Just called 2 stores in NY and both reps seemed liked they had no idea about friends and family discount. They both said all orders must be competed online.

The one rep did admit that price on the sticker could be lower than online and they would notify me after purchase.
New Hartford and Syracuse needed the employee's full name and employee # and told me I should have them place the order for me internally and I can go pick it up.

Was that for a TV or appliance?
