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.

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.
Don't call and ask them about the discount. Please call and ask them about the product and you will be rewarded.

I called the store (Mckinney, TX) and they know about this promotion but suggested to call to BestBuy.com to apply it.
BestBuy.com knows nothing about it - still trying to figure it out...
Anyone has promo code?

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?
Anytime! It's already tagged on the license plate in the store. Just give them a call. Before someone else gets it before you on here.

And 1-800-BestBuy knows nothing about this promotions. They consulted with few managers and said that there is absolutely no promotions on open box

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.

:-)
Sooo...you went down to the store and got free delivery 🤔

Called my local BB for the A8G 65". Was polite and just asked the open box price. It was at $1000. Open box price was about $1700. I bit the bullet and bought it. The TV is missing the base and remote but no physical damage to the screen.

The return policy still applies. They had 3 in stock and all were missing the base and remote.

Total with taxes: $1102.49

I picked up this gas range for 800 with 5 year warranty in satisfactory condition. Will use it in one of our VRBO's. Thank you OP!

Couple notes: The gentleman I spoke to on the phone originally asked me if I was talking about $50 off promo so there must be another promo running. He also said it only applied to certain skus.

I just got a 65" Vizio TV for $299 after discount here in Tampa FL. All stores I call are well aware of this discount and they apply the discount automatically to the quote. Thanks OP!

I called in Houston, TX about a dishwasher. He said it was showing as the same price as reflected online, and that the 50% off was only for certain TVs.
