If you have the Best Buy credit card, use code APR24EMOB25 for 10% off, $630 isn't too bad.

This one (Z1 Extreme) is the one to get. Don't get me wrong, the base Z1 seems superb compared to Steam Deck's comparable 512GB version, but damn, the Z1 Extreme is hitting 1080p/120fps in games like Forza and 60fps in RDR2, craziness.

Usually the first batch of YouTube reviews would tend to praise a product at launch as those are from privileged reviewers who receive a free unit from the marketing department of a vendor. I'm waiting for real end user reviews to see if I'd get one myself or invest in upgrading the 64GB SSD on my Steam Deck. If the Ally had a touchpad and ran Steam OS it would be closer to a perfect handheld gaming device, though today's battery tech would still cause concerns to some but it's the same issue no matter which device you pick.

Each of these codes were working for me still as of 3:17PM PDT. I was just instantly approved for the CC if that helps.

Looks like they removed the discount code with their card. Sucks because I signed up for a card just to use that code.

Sorry, but the promo code apr24emob25 is not eligible with the item(s) in your order.
Quote from John_Wick :
Is there a cool down period for when the 10% codes work for newly approved Best Buy credit cards? None of the 10% codes working on anything for me at the moment
If the 10% code is not working during checkout, follow these steps:

1. On the payment screen your BB credit card will be preselected and the code will not work.
2. Click "Update payment method" and select your BB credit card (select reward cert)
3. Now enter promo code and it will work.

They might actually be charging up front. I made an order and forgot to use a cashback site. So I cancelled the first order and BB said I will be receiving a refund back to the cart. I just checked my card and it shows a pending charge but it also shows a pending refund (for the cancellation). Typically the authorization would just fall off but in this case the initial authorization seemed to be a full charge. Otherwise, they wouldn't be issuing a refund.
what cash back site did you use?

This worked for me. I thought I had to wait a while for any of the codes to work since I just got approved. Updated my post to reflect that.

Youtube reviewers almost always praise products no matter what. The unwritten rule is if you have a YT review channel and you recieve free products for review you review them positively or you don't get the next product for a free review. No more free products for review and you get no more content for your channel! Basically they have to give positive reviews for all but the smallest chinese companies products they would never partner with!
