Apparently it's possible to increase brightness to 1000 nits with software, it was software limited to 600 for battery life. The apps are called Vivid or BetterDisplay

Local costco showed a bunch in stock in the app last night, but none this morning. Price matched to BB on the first try. Ended up using a $1200 gift card I received yesterday from a geek squad claim on our TV. Upgrading from a M1 Air 8gb/256gb.

Here's my chat prompt if it helps anyone:

The $1,400 M4 MacBook Pro does NOT have Thunderbolt 5. The M4 Pro MacBook Pro does which is currently selling for $1,900 at Best Buy.

Wow . Lucky you 😄👍
Ha. I tried a bunch of times last night and got denied. Then decided to give it one more shot this morning and boom.

Now I have to decide if it's worth an extra $400-$500 over the M2/m3 air with 16gb of ram.

Wife is gonna be using it for some remote legal work and writing a book so nothing heavy but the price seems really good for this and I'm a sucker for "value"

it does - they always ask for it...
They ask. You say I will give you all of my information when you send the invoice link.
Oh sorry. I actually did give them my zip code, but it wasn't instock at any of the local costcos by me.
Customer Care agent: For verification, may I have your full name, email address and phone number?
You: no thanks, I will provide at checkout
Customer Care agent: May I have the Zip code please?
You: 92009
Customer Care agent: Yes it is eligible for 1249.97$
Customer Care agent: may I have your full name, email address and phone number?
You: nice, thank you

End of the day people are still getting hits. It's just pure luck, but I would keep trying if you want it.

Got lucky the first time I tried online chat with the customer support. Getting it delivered tomorrow.



Customer Care agent: Thank you for contacting BestBuy. My name is Anam, your Sales Expert for today. How May I assist you Today?
You: I am trying to get a price match with Costco for this SKU:6534615
Customer Care agent: Let me check for the price match for you.
Customer Care agent: May I please have your full name, email and phone number ?
You: I will provide all my details once the price match is confirmed at the checkout
Customer Care agent: Congratulations! We have price match option for this product.
Customer Care agent: Kindly provide the details so that I can share the Invoice to you.

I did not have to provide my zip code. I guess they are also keen on clearing the MacBook Pro M3 Pro inventory. It was one of the easiest online chat price matches I ever had

I tried a few times yesterday and they denied. First try this morning was successful. The agent only asked for the link and approved immediately. Then I gave all my information for the invoice to be setup.

My only thought is perhaps they have different agents handling price match requests outside of business hours, and they did not hesitate to approve

Just got super lucky and was able to redeem this deal! Live chatted an agent at Best Buy with the Costco link (even though it says sold out) and the Best Buy SKU.

Have not been lucky with ANY of the online chat agents or over the phone!!!

What is the secret?!?!

Update:
Literally 10 min after posting this, I got connected to another agent that made it happen. I purchased an order and issued a refund of the difference!!
Hard work pays off!
