For years, Best Buy has been the go-to retailer for millions of Americans looking for home electronics, be it laptops, audio/visual equipment for the home and car, to appliances and every electronic accessory could think of. Being such a large retailer (with a huge online marketplace, to boot), there are plenty of ways to save on just about everything they offer: and we've got the inside scoop on the best places to find coupons and discounts to use in store and online.
Deals of the day/week: big savings 24/7
The first place to visit – even if you already know what you want – at Best Buy's website is the 'Deals of the Day' page, where two or three different products are usually listed at a discount for a very limited time (mostly 24 hours). These items also come with free shipping in most cases, even when the deal is a large TV or other big-box electronic. How does one find out about these everyday deals? Just sign up for the Deals of the Day email program and get notified of new deals when they go live.
Hidden on the same page are the weekly deals, organized by category: just scroll down to the bottom third of the page, and click one of the categories under the 'More Weekly Offers & Deals' heading.
BluePromoCode coupons: a shopper's best friend
What's a shopping trip (online or off) without some great coupons in your back pocket? That's where our Best Buy coupon page comes in handy: we keep a comprehensive, up-to-date list of Best Buy promo codes and discounts on a dedicated store page. With the simple click of a button, shoppers can redeem any of the coupons, and head over to the Best Buy page with their savings already in hand – check it out to see the current Best Buy coupons we have.
Get familiar with the in-store/online clearance selection
Clearance sections are a beautiful thing, especially at electronic stores: it's the easiest way to save 30-50% on popular models before they're removed for newer, more expensive stock. Being such a large retailer, Best Buy has robust clearance sections sprinkled about their physical locations, and an extensive selection of clearance products neatly organized by category.
It's not only a great way to save when shopping online (especially with a Best Buy promo code at your disposal), but also when planning a trip to a local retail location. Best Buy's site will automatically locate you (with your permission, of course) and list the clearance items currently stocked at the nearest retail stores.
New customer rewards & credit card programs can help save big
The recently-revamped myBest Buy program brings a brand-new, three-tiered program for regular Best Buy shoppers to save even more on future purchases (and for former Reward Zone members, don't worry: you're already enrolled). Along with access to special in-store events and sales and free shipping on orders of $25 or more, myBest Buy awards points for every purchase – earn 250 points (1 point = $1 spent), and receive a $5 coupon.
For those that spend $1500 or more a year in Best Buy, the elite and eliteplus programs take the benefits a step farther, adding up to 25% in point bonus on every purchase to earn bigger rewards faster. These two upper tiers also allow for point stacking, which allows shoppers to hold onto their points until they want to redeem them, for up to a $20 coupon whenever you want it.
To really maximize the benefits of the rewards programs and coupons, sign up for the Best Buy credit card: this adds another 5% to the total rewards earned with every purchase, giving the most frequent Best Buy shoppers (or those making multiple large purchases in one year) opportunities to stack 30% in bonus reward points in the eliteplus program.
Shop around, then buy at Best Buy for the lowest prices
Let's set the situation: you're a member of the myBest Buy rewards program, and you've found the item you're looking for – but it's on sale cheaper at another major retailer. Don't worry: Best Buy will match any lower price found on another website for most products, ensuring that you can benefit from your rewards membership, coupons, and free shipping they offer on most orders of electronics and accessories over $25.
