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.

Nothing is needed! Just give them a call and be polite.
That was my experience too. The open box price online was double what they told me the price was when they rang it up in their system.

And just called a 2nd Houston area store and was told I had to have the employee with me to purchase, which makes me think they need their ID.

What steps did you have to follow to get the discount?
I called and asked about the dryer I saw online and asked what the damage to the product was, what accessories were missing, he went and looked then I said I heard there was a 50% coupon for fair condition open box and asked if he could check with manager came back and confirmed it. I was browsing the site at the time so I added on the TV. Unfortunately I was told the TV's were50% off the new price not the open box price. Still a solid deal.

I asked them for the 50% off they stated the price was already including all the current discounts
It's already marked 50 percent off in-store. Just ask for information on the product and the price.

I appreciate the response, when I called the store for a dryer online it was $495 open box satisfactory, the store showed $495 open box satisfactory as well. Does the discount show after they ring it up in the system?

Worked for me in Alpharetta, GA. I called the store and she confirmed the 50% off. Went down to the store and got GE washer and GE dryer for $202 each plus tax. Free delivery.

Same here. Maybe it's fair condition only
