This Costco deal is for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 GPS plus cellular, and the strongest takeaway is that local stock and price matching can make the in store price much better than the online listing. Multiple warehouse finds were reported across several states, even when the website showed out of stock, and the kiosk or chat price match path often worked after a few tries. The main catch is that availability seems to depend on location, zip code, and the rep you get, so some attempts were denied. A solid local hunt if you are willing to check stores and keep trying.

  • Price-match outcomes can vary by agent and timing, with some attempts denied before a later attempt succeeds.

  • Best Buy price matching can fail when the item is not in stock locally, even if Costco has the deal.

  • The in-store Apple kiosk approach can stall when agents say the watch is not in stock and no price-difference resolution is offered.

  • Some price-match adjustments may appear as account credits rather than a straightforward discount on the receipt.

To anyone who was able to successfully price match at BestBuy, how did you get them to overlook that the watch at Costco is not available for shipping? Do some reps just overlook this as I was told by a rep that the item must be available for shipping and can't be specific to certain stores inventory . Thanks in advance!
Mine did show out of stock. I tried several times with the same zip. I used the exact same story with all of them of just asking if I could get a price match, finally I had one just not even mention the fact that it was sold out and just said today's my lucky day, I went ahead and purchased it while chatting then I got an email a few hours later that the difference was refunded.

Wow, congrats! It sounds like you just need to get someone who will overlook the fact that it's out of stock and not available for shipping.

I'd keep at it if you want it. I actually said this is my last attempt and it worked finally.

I PM'd a couple of days ago but I gave them a ZIP that showed in stock even if it was in warehouse. After ordering I changed the pickup/shipping method

how did people receive their pricematch? did they BB charge the full price and then credit the $200 difference? or did they only charge the $450? i ordered 2 and picked them up today, but the pending charge still shows $650.

So, the price match HAS to be a credit after buying at full price? Has anyone NOT gotten their credit? Best Buy is not the smoothest operation for things like this so its a concern.

I got PM at BB and received a case ID. Ordered for pickup, was charged full price at pickup. Took multiple phone calls and finally a chat for them to admit there was a "technical error" and then finally got the credit email and pending credit in account within an hour of that last chat session.
