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.

Yes, both stores didn't mention friends and family discount. They told me all order must be done online and I store pricing may be cheaper.

That's been there for years. Take an additional 50%off those prices via the employee friends&family coupon that everyone is trying to get their hands on here now that's a slick slippery slimy deal

Spent almost an hour on the phone with Ithaca, NY. Only on TV's. So, no new washer and dryer for us, but we got a nice Sony 65" TV! Great, patient and helpful employee on phone.

Yep called a store in CT, no go either. Store manager said, only the employee can purchase it at 50% off and he or she should add us to the friends and family and then we can pick it up from the store!! who ever got it ..good deal. I was llooking for the 77" C9...would have been a reat deal if they honored the price!

Any BB employee, can help me with this?? store guy said, the employee has to meet certain criteria too...not sure what that means though!!
which store in CT, was thinking about calling around the Hartford area.

Were you provided with any sort of code or anything for the discount? Any information on whether it is limited to someone with a Employee ID?

They told me that you actually need to be a friend or family of best buy employee to get the discount.

Wow, it would be nice to get a new oven/range and fridge. But even if my local BB has some great deals, I'd probably have some logistical challenges picking everything up and getting it back home with the social distancing stuff going on hahaha.


EDIT: NM just saw a few comments about them delivering (albeit curbside) for larger appliances (with a minimum spend for $400~?)
