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.

Deer Valley AZ called and they said they do not take orders over the phone? Like what?! I wanted to ask for a manager but just figured that I'd be in an endless loop trying to explain the discount. I couldn't even get them to look at the TV condition.

After standing in line at one best buy. The manager confirmed the discount but wouldn't apply the qhile thing . Claiming the price would be too low. After 5 minutes of a peaceful back and forth I decided to go to another best buy. Although I didn't get the exact stove I wanted. I got the discount. The total was 267 + 99 for a 5 year warranty .

I am currently on route to another store to get my matching dryer. When I finish texting and driving I'll see if I can lay it flat. You can also get a camera to PDF scanner app that crops stuff to make it look flat
Thanks! Yeah, I just wanted to capture the entire page when I print it. The guy at the store made it sound like he was skeptical, but would play ball if I brought him anything that looked legit.

My local Bay Area store said they are running the 50% open box promotion for both appliances and TV's. The condition of the TV I was interested in(Samsung Q80) is a store display model. What are people's thoughts on store display TVs? Any more likely to break than a new TV? They clearly have been running all day long, so curious to see how others feel about it.

Pick out the items you want to buy in the open box section online. Buy online to reserve the item. Show up or call ahead to clarify what you will be doing. Show the flyer to the employee and tell them to ring you up if you haven't bought online before hand and then apply the code. If you bought online already once you show up to store guys at the front know. Then cancel the order and have them re ring it up again with the barcode from the image I attached. They can scan it off your phone.

This is my dilemma too. I want a range, over range microwave, and fridge. The range and microwave I think I could fit into the car OK. But the fridge I'm looking at is a beast and would require renting a truck. There is a Home Depot really close to the BB so I could do that. The other problem of course is going to be unloading all this stuff after bringing it home AND getting in inside our place - oven range wouldn't be an issue I think/hope but the fridge would be a major PITA - I'm in a condo so limited space and plenty of corners and standard doorways to deal with... heck, when I bought the junky fridge that we currently have from Sears years ago, they had trouble getting it through the doorway in the kitchen and had to remove the doors to get it through and *still* managed to leave a nice dent in the molding. And that was for a relatively small fridge too.... can't imagine dealing with anything much bigger. Hmm, maybe I'll just concede to getting an oven and microwave - my issue with that though is mismatched brands (GE range and Samsung microwave lol)

You can rent a uhaul super cheap for one day especially if you are returning back to same location you are picking up from. I got a washer and dryer and I don't believe it'll fit in my crew cab tundra so I'm going to rent a trailer...only 19.99 for the day.

Anybody tried this on the open box laptop? Could this barcode work at the curbside when picking up the laptop?

Local Best Buy manager telling me this open box friends and family major appliances deal is "up to 50%" off and that min discount is 5%. The prices they are giving me are nowhere near the effective 50% off the open box price (washer/dryer set is ~$1500 total whereas should be ~$750 after the 50% discount). He said this is a friends and family discount that started saturday and he also said he entered his employee code and price did not go lower. Talking to manager and not sure how to get him to understand? Or this is regional (I think this is likely). Giving up for now.

Update on above. Armed with the code, called the location back, and they told me they had done some research since I called and discovered the code on their end. They actually held the washer/dryer I was asking about in case I called back. Just purchased the top end LG black steel washer dryer set for $780 after tax delivered. Pretty happy with this!

I just got shot down at another Best Buy for a dishwasher. They need me to bring in the coupon. Can you scan it FattyMcGatFaceButt? Thanks!

You guys are so lucky to be living in other states. NY never has any of these deals.
Worked like a charm in Ithaca.
