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.

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
After 204 comments I believe 2 people were able to get the employee friends&family coupon?

That's pretty slick lol Bonk

No code is needed guys! Just call the stores and ask for that product you just found online. Be polite and ask them information on that product and the price and you will be rewarded.

+1 for the didn't work crowd

Houston area, rep said they would have to have an actual promo to scan in order to get any discount off of the online advertised price .

Does BBuy offer install / takeaway when W/D are openbox?
Yes They do, normal fees apply. They also take a detailed assessment of any damage on the unit, so you can't refuse it for a ding that already existed.

I don't think they are offering install / takeaway right now. It is just curbside delivery.
