Honestly, don't bother waiting for Black Friday at Best Buy. Their holiday discounts usually just mirror random sales from July anyway. Your best move is filtering by Open-Box Excellent online to save 20%, or ping customer chat right before buying. They'll instantly price match anything shipped and sold by Amazon without any real hassle.

Best Buy rarely uses real promo codes anymore. The box is buried under the final payment screen, but honestly, random coupon codes from Google never work. You're better off just using their online chat to price match Amazon or Micro Center. Otherwise, discounts just link directly to your My Best Buy account at checkout.

Best Buy doesn’t do referral codes for shoppers at all, just standard affiliate links for blogs. To actually save, use their live chat to price-match Amazon or B&H right before buying. Or just filter for Open-Box Excellent; it drops 15-20% off and the return window is the exact same.

You don't need to hit that $35 threshold at all. Just make a free basic My Best Buy rewards account. Members get free shipping with zero minimum spend on pretty much every regular item. If you’re ordering oversized stuff like a TV with freight fees, just select free curbside pickup at checkout instead.
