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.

Houston area here. Tried 3 stores, got the OLED C9 65" for $1099, display model, no stand/remote, wasn't a dealbreaker for me. Just happened to get the manager on the phone when I called, he rang up as 1099, didn't have to mention any promos, just gave him the SKU, and I would have to drive to store while they reserved it for me. Added the 5yr geek squad as well. Came with $100 BB gift card!

Which stores did you try/which one worked? I got someone to say there was a promo, but that it was only for certain items. Also there wasn't a list, it would just come up if it was eligible. Of note, in Pearland the 2 appliances I asked about were floor models and he said they wouldn't discount any further.

Is it only appliances, or does this apply to all open box items?

I tried pearland, Bunker Hill. Store that worked for me was Gulfgate. Shoutout to cattslove, who provided tips on what worked in the DFW area.

Will that barcode work for TVs too? Or is there a different code?
