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.

Got a 75" q70 for about $830 before tax, missing a remote. Third store was the charm.

Just got off the phone. Was able to get WFW8620HC Washer and a WED8620HC Dryer for roughly 800. The employee said he didn't think it would work and to check online but I asked if he could maybe just check with a manager...and he came back after being on hold for 10 minutes and said it worked. I'm thinking about getting a TV now.

My local bestbuy says the 50% discount is applied on the regular price and not on the already discounted open box price. Is it true or my store is being smart?

Called local best buy (Sacramento, CA area) to ask about open box pricing. The person I spoke with asked if I knew someone who worked at Best Buy, I said yes (even though I don't), and they said "Ask your friend for the license plate number for the product you're interested in". They then confirmed that the open box discount is 50% off.

Has anyone else been asked for a "License Plate Number"?

They are being smart like my store, we need to find the 50% off code to so we can have the store apply it to the open box price

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.
Which SE Michigan store? I'm there and was gonna call rochester hills.
