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.

I placed an order on an Open Box Samsung Q90 65 inch tv and called best buy store this morning and they said -> if there's a discount on open box -> it's gonna be applied at checkout page itself. I did not see any lower price on the tv at checkout. Gonna cancel my order

I called a few stores in the Greater Boston area and was able to get this discount on major and appliances and TVs. Ended up getting a Samsung front-load washer for $250.
I just spoke with Braintree (~8 miles South of Boston.)
-Satisfactory or lower grade only
-50% off the in-store full price which is higher than the online price NOT 50% off the online open box price

I ended up placing an order even at ~10% higher than I hoped for. In the past, the Braintree open box have been in better shape. Brockton, I didn't bother calling. They way over grade the condition so its not even worth taking a look.

You bought a display unit so i wouldn't jump to conclusions on that model all together. I assure you the LG C9 is a phenomenal tv. Can only hope for the best when buying these openbox display models and not expect them to be in flawless condition.
I'm definitely still open to OLED TVs in general, I was more just hoping that I'd get lucky with this open box deal. Have you had a good experience with the C9? I've ready about a lot of people having uniformity issues with LG OLEDs generally.

My store said they still had their OLEDs on the wall and weren't taking them down until the new ones get there in 3 weeks. I really want a 77" OLED, but debating on a 75" Q70 instead.

Tried to score a washer and dryer set for my parents today but they told me the general manager said it's not valid anymore.

I was able to replicate the deal in Ackworth Ga, according to receipt CPN code is 5711631. Had to be pick up and they had to scan something for it to work. No mention of friends or family
Did you buy online and asked to add coupon while picking up? How did you convince them about coupon? Did you tell cashier to apply coupon code? Thank you for help. I am going to try to get same deal.

I asked them over the phone and they said I had to come in and do a pickup/pay then for it to work. They had to call corporate to get the sku but they gave me no issues. I did try to get a TV but they wouldn't do it there. I'm going to try again today

Twin Cities MN stores have been no problem with the discount as long as I had the SKU.
