All these questions except 6 could be easily answered with Google.

And 6 can be answered by the original post.

Best Buy customer policy has gone way down since they revised their Rewards program.

I wouldn't mention the apple watch right away. Say you want to price match staples only, then let them ask for the item number.
It worked! Thanks again for the tips.

Took me 6 tries

Some of these reps dont give a crap about their jobs. They just saw the staples $129 pricetag and nothing else then told me to place the order and will refund me the diff. So I bought the cellular Series 8 45mm and they refunded me the diff after I gave them the order num. WTF
WOW nice

Here is my exact method for getting the price match:

0) BE POLITE any and all times you are talking to a customer agent or anyone working in the service industry. You always get better service and you don't ruin someone's day.

1) Put Apple Watch SE Gen 2 in cart at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/appl...Id=6340238 [bestbuy.com]

2) Chat with agent from this link, not from price match page (click 'other' then 'chat now'): https://www.bestbuy.com/contact-u...tion=other [bestbuy.com]

3) Tell them you want to price match staples without mentioning the item, when they ask what item send them the item link not the model number so you reduce the chance they spot the model number difference.

4) When they ask for the link of the staples item, tell them this: it's www.staples.com [staples.com] then click deals -> weekly ad -> page 8

5) They'll go and check for a few minutes. If they come back and deny the price match, thank them politely, end the chat, and start from step 1 again!

Took me two tries this way 😎
I just price-matched successfully through BB using this method. Rep'd!

Are you saying that you show them S8 cellular's sku and gave them the 129 price and then went with that price difference ($370)? Or you used SE in the PM chat and they based the calculation on that ~$130 but bought S8 instead and they just applied that $130 difference. I find the latter could happen, but former would take a really careless person to let that slip through.

Nonetheless, it seems that above certain amount credit the chat rep could only submit a refund request pending review. I got an email from them saying that it is being reviewed for a $250 price difference, and I did not expect they would grant it.

I got an agent in chat to give me a price match on the first try. However, I haven't gotten an email yet confirming the refund the agent said they would apply. I fear it's all too likely that this sudden surge in price matches will be reviewed and BB will start sending out rejection emails for the watches that haven't yet made it out the door.

Dude caught on when I switched the sku number and said item wasn't identical. Stick with ordering the SE 2nd gen. Got 2 now.
