Stupid me, I tried 15 minutes after the order to change from Shipping to Pickup as there is one last one at the store near me. I guess the order status changed to Preparing so it won't let me change it. Now gotta wait till Tuesday, but I'll just use the one I currently have before returning it. (return window ends Thursday)
Finally worked!!!!
I followed your script pretty much as is. I don't think I was doing it much different earlier, but got lucky with the right rep this time around! Thank you so much!

Finally BB PM worked for 1083 after nth try.

Costco offered me to return and repurchase when I spoke over phone. However, the manager declined at the store saying I was misinformed. Costco one is going back.

Do you all get the laptop in black? Anyone get silver one? On Costco site the silver has higher price.
The agent was kind enough to switch to silver as black wasn't available for pickup anywhere near me, of course it took a while to convince that I'm really going to buy.

I just followed this script and after like seven or eight rejections, the associate agreed. I gave him my zip code and it didn't have it in stock. He said Fresno, CA had it in stock so they could price match. So try Fresno's zip code when asking and just have them ship it or say you are traveling and want to pick it up somewhere local.

I got the black, not a big fan of the color. Doesn't look like a Mac.

Alright, got them to match for $1,100! Time to return the Costco $1,250 one. Sucks that Costco wouldn't adjust the price for many of us that bought earlier.
If you were able to use the Instacart GCs for same day or IC to buy from Costco, it's either ~$100 less after tax than buying from BB (~$1070 net, with savings of 20% x $1300 of GCs) or in my case roughly the same as I did partial GCs so I could have some credit card extended warranty on top of the Costco warranty.

Best Buy agents are matching only if the item is in stock from competitor. You're lucky if you got it matched. I got denied multiple times.

Most credit card warrantys require the entire item to be purchased with the card. Dp you know something I dont about a specific card?

Some cards only require partial payment on an item for extended warranty.

I believe most cards have the same policy for extended warranty, you don't have to charge the whole thing, but they will only cover up to what you charged. So in my case, I decided to charge $600-700, enough to cover most likely repairs, and the rest on IC GCs for the 20% discount on that portion.

Thieves at WorstBuy! Got a declined PM email as well. Fortunately the manager allowed me have my old Air back. Wasted time twice in data migration forth and back.
