Thanks, ordered the 13" M4 16/256 using the PayPal 20% rewards Pay-In-4 promotion. Was planning on having BB price match Amazon, but this made it easier.

Community Reviews

The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro discounts look strongest when stacked with PayPal Pay in 4 or PayPal cash back, open box pricing, or cash back sites, with some purchases landing near $525 to $650 before tax. The 13 inch and 15 inch Airs are praised for speed, portability, and a noticeably larger screen at 15 inches, while the 24GB and 512GB configurations get the most love for extra headroom. The main hesitation is the 16GB and 256GB base setup, which feels tight for long term use and storage. PayPal eligibility and open box availability can be inconsistent, so the best price depends on the checkout path and stock.

Common Questions (6)

  • For basic homework, web browsing, and email, 16GB is reported as enough, and one 16GB machine handled about 8 resource-heavy tabs in a lightweight Debian test. For heavier multitasking, IntelliJ, many Chrome tabs, or keeping the laptop for 5+ years, 24GB gives more headroom.

  • Yes. The PayPal Pay in 4 flow can work at Best Buy, and the 20% back posts as PayPal points. The points show as pending right away and are reported to arrive within 90 days; the promo can also apply to the full after-tax purchase price.

  • Select PayPal at Best Buy checkout, then complete Pay in 4 inside the PayPal window rather than on Best Buy's page. The offer may not appear in Best Buy's checkout itself, and eligibility can vary by account.

  • Open-box units have been bought with the PayPal 20% offer, but some open-box listings do not qualify. One open-box excellent purchase showed the discount working, while another open-box excellent listing did not accept the 20% offer.

    Jay2003RebirthRavenchasemyaccordJay2003

  • The 15-inch gives noticeably more screen real estate than the 13-inch, and that difference is easy to feel in daily use. If you prefer a larger display and are already used to 15-inch laptops, the 15-inch Air is the safer pick.

    CleverCreator248chasemyaccordanimeorb

  • 256GB is the more common concern than 16GB for many shoppers, especially if you keep lots of files locally. One buyer with the 16/256 model still had 188GB free after setup, so it can be fine if your storage needs are light and you use cloud storage.

Does anyone have experience with Best Buy trade-in policy? Mail-in or bring it to local store? How many days do I have to return the trade-in device? TIA.
Since you can get a gift card in the same amount as the trade in, the consensus is that it's better to get the gift card since the PayPal 20% applies to more.

Is there single transaction limit for Paypal cashback? Or is the limit on the amount on cashback you will receive?

I bought an open box M4 15" 24/512 for $1,271 at Bestbuy.com.

My Paypal rewards activity shows 26,966 points.

Do you have a URL? the lowest I can find on BestBuy is around $1100-$1200 for 24/512.

If you order your new device for in-store pickup + in-store trade-in, the trade-in is assessed and credit is given on the spot. Mail-in means you are at the mercy of the old device not getting damaged in transit and/or a screw-up at the warehouse where the trade-in's are processed. If given the choice, I would always do the trade-in at the store.


There was a brief window early last week, right when the current sale hit when open-box Macbooks were significantly cheaper than new. The comments you are seeing were from those few hours. BestBuy subsequently adjusted prices to what you are seeing now (ie. there's no secret URL for you to find).

On the Best Buy checkout page I chose PayPal as my payment method, which opened a new window for PayPal. Once I logged in, it gave the option to 'Pay in 4'. I was already pre-approved for an amount > my purchase, so I had no issues. The choice to Pay-in-4 is made in PayPal, not on the Best Buy checkout page.

Intresting… okay. I went into PayPal but I don't see best buy as one of "stores with pay later" but since people are saying they see their points pending then it must work.

Smart & Final has $15 SnF coupon for each purchase of $100 in BB GCs.

Buy $1000 in BB GCs in 10 separate transactions.

Use GCs to purchase mac air 512GB for 949+Tax so over 1000.

Enjoy $150 in SnF coupons for groceries.

SnF purchases may also qualify for additional points/cashback from your CC.

Cons:
#1: You are buying with BB GCs so the CC extended warranty will not be there.
#2: Need to make 10 separate transactions so you may need to use multiple CCs or pre-inform your CC.
#3: Need to use $15 SnF coupons in separate small transactions.


Many members will have AMEX Walmart offer so that may be another option to save some.

Costco has it for the same price but comes with 2 year warranty.
