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.

Ask about that sku and ask them to go inspect on your behalf. Tell them you have the code, show it to them, let them take a picture. They should indicate they will go in check and try code.
Worked for me. The staff outside is very helpful.
Ray (I think) from Emeryville was nice over the phone but would not allow me to process the code. Dublin wanted name and employee number
I asked Modesto if I could order there and pickup in Dublin and received a no.
Here's what I found - buy it online, go to pick it up, cancel it once you've talked to an associate, repurchase under F&F discount program.
You got the TV for the normal price in store. My store has it for that price and it is without any coupon
I called the associate, asked them if they could check on the dishwasher. She stated that they didn't actually have an open box for that item but would talk to her manager if it was referring to the display.
Manager called me back, said she could sell me the floor model for $490.99. I inquired about the additional 50% off coupon, she said that if I had a friend or family that worked for BB I could apply the coupon. I said I do but that he works at another city (2 hours away) and asked if that would be OK. She said it would be fine as long as I could get the SKU for the coupon. Provided the SKU #, final price out the door was $266.66. Order was taken over the phone no problem, will be picking up in 1 hour. She said it is in mint condition, just missing packaging and manual. Thanks SD!
