Reward points change:
The second change is that on February 14, 2023, earning points on eligible Best Buy purchases will become an exclusive benefit of the My Best Buy® Credit Card.
This is actually a winner for those who DONT regularly shop there. They even get to save more $ on the spot as a perk versus needing to spend $250 to get a measly perk of $5 reward certificate.
Immediate dividend is what I'm talking about.

People can definitely tell the difference and a lot of people have the premium tier.
My spending at Best Buy for the rest of the year went down to $0. Not necessarily out of spite, but without a tie-breaker, I'll take the convenience of Amazon (mail) or Target (closer to home).
I do agree with you that once you are on 4K, it's difficult to differentiate video quality between streaming services. That's why I mentioned audio codecs. Some services like Hulu are still on 5.1 audio. Was just trying to say that one cannot make a case that Netflix is lacking other streaming on a technical level. But of course, they make you pay for the privilege. The post I replied to made it seem like Disney+ has 4K content while Netflix is still on HD. (At least if felt that way to me).
Now you are coparong Netflix 4k vs your Blu ray 4ks? Thers no comparison your Vlu rays are better.
No one said Netflix 4k is better then any streaming services 4 either. I think they say Disney 4k quality is the best of the streaming apps

Best Buy was very short-sighted with their change in the program to become Total Tech for $$$ back in March 2022. As Jeremy Iron's character in margin call said "There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat." Amazon was first, and everyone else has been playing catch-up thinking their service will do just as well.
Walmart thought their $99 service would work. While they have the cheap chinese shit like Amazon does, the problem is people like to SHOP in Walmart, and they are ok delivering things to the stores for pickup. No need to pay $99 for that right.
Best Buy thought their $199 service would work. Thing is, they LACK the cheap chinese shit. And similarly, while most people don't have a Best Buy store NEAR them, in an absolute worst case, they will be ok with driving out of the way to do store pickup. Moreover, they know that most BB deals are matched by the competitors (Amazon, Walmart, Target). So there is no need to pay $199 for that crap (and the added benefits were not worth $199 - ROFL Geek Squad). Best Buy probably realized their mistake and lowered the shipping minimum threshold to bring back sales that they have otherwise lost over the last year. Dopes.

- Free GeekSquad...who uses that?
- Special member pricing...the prices are either eventually made available to everyone, or Amazon & Walmart match them.
- Free install and haul away...most people prefer to do their own install. But its not worth $199.
- Extended warranty coverage - useful, if you are the kind of person who breaks their toys.
- VIP chat...this was never really that useful compared to the regular phone line when I had this as a MyBestBuy Premium member.
- Free 2-day shipping...you could still get free shipping with a minimum, and store-pickup or ship-to-store was always free.
- Extended 60 day return window - it doesn't eliminate restocking fees or the activated device return window.
I think the most useful of the items are free install and extended warranty coverage. Problem is, most techies/capable people don't ever need either.Leave a Comment
