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.

Assuming this can't be done if there aren't any open box items available for pick up within 250 miles of zip?

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 $361. The deal is that they're marking off Open Box products %50 from the retail value, which he initially quoted me around $491. 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 $361. No coupons, no codes. They're just trying to get rid of inventory.
Which location in DFW

Was successful at two Best Byus so far. They even applied a discoun on Excellent condition open box.
Was it automatic or did they have to override?

After calling 2 BB, I was able to snag a 65" Samsung Q80 for $850. I'm in the NoVA area. Thanks OP!!
Which store did you get it work from? I've called Manassas and Pentagon City but no luck. They are not aware of this at all on appliance...

My location was automatic, they had price drops reflected on tags. I paid $800 for a 65" LG OLED and paid $200 for the 5 year warranty to be safe.

I called the one in Potomac Mills. She said that it applied to all the open box items but only the satisfactory or below. Good luck

How are you guys checking the tags when the locations are not allowing customers to enter due to covid?
