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.

This thread has been great for Best Buy as most of the people buying on there didn't actually get the original deal mentioned but are making a purchase anyways

I was told that I would need an Employee number that they can put it in their system since it's a Friends and Family discount. The first person I talked to in appliances didn't know what I was talking about but the supervisor did and asked if I was friends or family of an employee and for the employee number.

Anyone want to PM me?

Quote from FattyMcFatFaceButt :
I called another local best buy. I was told It's Friends and Family Discount and I just need to "know an employee." I asked If I could know him. He said to just give the name Steven at another store (apparently he's the most popular and known by 4 stores around me) and to check another store in the morning as they have the most open box items. It was already 6 o clock and they were closing. No employee ID is needed. No Last name. No nothing. Just specifically ask for the Friends and Family discount and say I heard it from "Steven." Will call first thing in the morning and update if I get a top of the line Samsung Washer and Dryer for less than 700.
Ok. So Update. It took calling 3 stores, but eventually I got through. And after that manager explained it to me I was able to explain it properly to the other managers at other stores. The washer and dryer I want were at different stores. I was getting the run around this morning with people not knowing about the deal or needing employee confirmation calls ins or the employee has to buy it, bla bla bla. You have to explain to them that is not discounted already on the price online. It is a further discount. It is Friend and Family that applies to ANYONE. The main confusion come from 2 promotional emails that went out last week mentioning the friends and family discount and then another one explaining an employee discount. They must ring the item up in store, NOT ONLINE, and then apply a scanner bar coupon. They did this with a test run of a random open box appliance before applying to the open box items I already bought online already to reserve the items i want.

I am on my way to pick up one item and once I am there the manager will cancel my item and re-ring it up with the 50% applied. He will then show me the barcode they need to scan to take to the other store to explain it to the other manager when I go pick up the other item. I will update in a few hours I get a screen shot of that barcode.
