Best Buy has the Starlink Mini Kit on a killer clearance/sale: $199.99 (save $300 off the original $499.99 price!). This is the portable backpack-friendly satellite internet kit from SpaceX.
Key specs:
AC Dual Band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz)
Integrated modem/router
Wi-Fi 5, mesh capable
Super compact for travel, camping, RVs, remote work, etc.
In-store only (or check your local store): Best Buy's ongoing networking recycle program lets you bring in any old modem, router, or gateway to recycle and get a 15% off coupon toward a new modem/router/gateway purchase at the current selling price.
Apply it to this Starlink Mini → 15% off $199.99 = ~$30 savings → effective ~$169.99 (before tax)
YMMV – program is in-store only, coupon on the spot, excludes certain brands but often works for general networking gear. Old device not returned. Valid through at least 1/1/27 per Best Buy site. Confirm with store staff if Starlink qualifies as it's listed under "Trade-in offer" on the page.
Great for off-grid spots, backup internet, or anywhere traditional broadband sucks. Requires separate Starlink service subscription (not included).
Hot if you're eyeing a Mini—grab it quick as stock/price can fluctuate!
Ps.: the store I went to the manager had to override saying that some stores might have limitations and that his computer was saying it excluded starlink products. I showed him the best buy website listing and the trade in on the starlink mini and it didn't say any excluding for starlink products. He did give me for $169 at the end lol
Im trying to post a picture of the receipt

Starlink Mini is being used as a compact travel and backup internet setup, with reports of low latency, solid performance for basic browsing and calls, and enough range to stay useful in mountains, canyons, and tailgating. The $5 standby option is capped around 0.5 Mbps, so it fits light use rather than heavy streaming or multiple users. The hardware deal can be attractive for people who want to own the unit and pause service as needed, but the trade in coupon appears inconsistent in store and is often manually overridden.
