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.

The tv thread of this got buried for some reason and marked expired. I got a 77 oled with 0 hours but a scratch on the right side of the screen. 2549 with 5 year warranty they won't replace unless it had a dead pixel or burn in. Cant see the scratch when tv is on. Still can't make up my mind if it's worth it. Also got a 55b9 for 699.99

I did happen to me 😂 Get them to hold it and drive up there right away.
When did the price discount apply? After you went to drive up, or on the phone?

called two stores in the area. Manassas, VA & Pentagon City, VA.
Manassas said the price I see online is already with the discount.
Pentagon City said the discount is only with the home theatre system.

Called my local store at Virginia Beach. They have no clue about friends and family discount. However, they said they have open box items up to 50% off

I just bought a washer and gas dryer via this promotion.

I was fortunate enough to target the "Open Box - Satisfactory" label in one store. I called, asked about the condition of each one, and then asked about any "open box promotion"s. They got the store manager on the phone, and he applied the discount.

SE Michigan.

Tried for the LG set that showed available in my store as open box - satisfactory. It was already sold, and was told that the only 50% discount available was for employees/friends/family only. St Louis, MO - Brentwood store.

This worked for me. I called a Best Buy in DFW, and it took a good while for him to get his system to process, but I got an $850 Washer for $339. The deal is that they're marking off Open Box products %50 from the retail value, which he initially quoted me around $425. After he put me on hold for awhile to process it, he mentioned if I could pick it up within the hour, I'd get an even bigger discount, which put me at $339. No coupons, no codes. They're just trying to get rid of inventory.

Edit: Just got the matching Dryer from a separate Best Buy for the same deal. I didn't get that extra "pickup" discount. This salesperson said he had no idea how the other guy got it. Still got the dryer for $369.

Both together with 3 year geek squad warranties on each, and taxes got me to $930.36 all in. Big Grin
