How I PMed BB today.

1. Opened 2 Browser windows
- 1 on Bestbuy on the one I want
- 1 on Microcenter on the one I want

Make sure you have the same exact product including the COLOR

2. Open Chat on Bestbuy Window
3. Ask them to price match
4. I pasted Bestbuy web page
5. I pasted mirocenter web page
6. I remind them it's the SAME exact product that I want to price match
7. they will ask for time to check
8. come back with offer
9 they did mess up for some reason twice so I pasted the URL twice and they finally saw the 1079 price and approved PM. They said 1349 at first.
10. They will ask for your contact then email you an INVOICE that already has delivery or pick up info already confirmed with you thru Chat
11. Check your email, click thru link and pay for the it.... once you're paid it's all done
12. Go back to chat, they will paste the order information as well in like 1 minute later.
13. Go pick it up or wait for delivery. whatever the option you selected.


My home state is WAY far way (700 miles away) from Indianapolis and they never questioned anything. Just tell them you want to order and hope the rep does not check that it's local only to Indi if that was the case.

They didn't ask you for a zip code?
They did and I gave them my actual zip. No flak or anything and the nice rep processed it.

Chat with BB rep multiple times, and they always ask for zip code.

Once I told them my zip code, which is not IN and no Microcenter around.

They come back with a price match of $1,349.99, instead of $1,079.99

Great price for those with zip codes near a Microcenter

To whomever is having issues just work with the rep. As someone earlier posted for them to see the lower prices they have to be viewing it on the Indy store page. Once they have that they will see it and match. If you still have issues politely decline their $1349 price and open a new chat window and try with someone else. It will work just be patient.

Got the same message. No luck.
Quote from CanesFan :
got shot down on my first attempt via chat with Best Buy...

"...However, we do price match with all regular deals on (retailer name) website except for the deals which has limitations such as instore only or limit one per household, either customer will have to walk into the store to avail the discount or they limit the promotional pricing to only one quantity for a household. Because of which this price match request would fall outside our price match program."
Second chat attempt got me the price match.

I probably would have like to stay under $1K including tax but my previous MacBook Air is pretty old and this deal was pretty good currently for the specs.

If you're into video editing, it might be a good idea to consider purchasing a MacBook Pro.

Had no issues price matching with BB - thanks OP! Got the 13 inch M3 for $1079.99 for pick-up. They asked for zip but had no issues. Just told them I wanted to pick it up at the nearest store. Woo hoo!
