REMINDER $ 50.00 Pricematch for Bestbuy.com buyers

[blackinjun]

Some may consider this a duplicate thread but I think it's important enough.

Mikeypopps posted that Microcenter has the Prime for 449.99 I just called BB.com where I placed my order at 499.99 and they gave me 53.00 back including taxes.

Thanks Mikey for the heads up.

Doesn't Amazon do this same thing? I bought mine on Amazon through electronic express, think I'll have any luck getting a refund?

 

[blackinjun]

Not sure. BB.com has a specific policy of matching BB.com prices, BB instore prices and local retailer prices. The only thing about it is you can't do it instore you have to call in.

BB can be sticklers for not allowing it if the store is not within 25 miles of best buy and the item has to be available in the store. I'm happy for those who get the refund.

I have a feeling that they may have checked that when processing mine. I just told her the Microcenter up the street has it and it took her 3-4 mins before she said the credit was being processed. I asked her how they verified because I thought I would have to email the ad and she said they have to verify in their system. I have a Microcenter about 10miles from my Home and it is 3 miles from a Best Buy

THANKS OP!

So, I used $125 in BB store credit and reward zone certificates to knock my Prime down from $534 (tax included) to $410 when I ordered it and now after calling in and price matching with Microcenter it's only costing me $356!!

Hmmm. Think I could bamboozle 'em for another $53? I got a my Prime on Jan 3, then 2 days later got FULL CREDIT from Best by to the tune of $533.00 for taking my dissatisfaction a few notches higher than most, then a week later, a $50.00 Gift Coupon showed up in the mail. Mostly I took it up the executive chain because one "Resolution manager" told me no way on a free dock., this after a particularly nasty bit of "customer disservice" they had done. I decided there & then that I was going to get satisfaction, nut it worked out better than I ever expected. Basically, they PAID ME $50.00 to take the Prime (I had to tell the story at least once, but I will shut up now.) Besides, I had to by the Dock out of pocket, from Abes of Maine... I feel so guilty... NOT!!!

Think I should try for the Price Guarantee? I want to do it against the HHGregg offer of $399.99 for Prime 32 Gb. They were said to offer the price in the store, and BB is giving a 60 Day Price Match for all Holiday 2011 purchases. Hehe. Think I will give it a shot. They have such a horrendous point of sale/ Inventory system, they may just go for it... Am I being greedy? Yep. But I think all's fair, after all BB got a bit greedy with the preorders when everyone else had shut them down. What goes around and all that

Thanks for saving me 50 + tax. Thanks also given at the top of the thread!

Just got my $50 price match credit. All i did was call them and told them micro center has the Prime for $449.99 and she just said ok we applied the $50 credit to your card, without calling to micro center to verify if they had it in stock or if it was an in store price. Funny how when I tried doing it for the HHGregg difference they wanted to call and verify if the item was in store, etc. which led to an unsuccessful price match, but this time they just said ok no questions asked lol. Anyways thanks OP put $50 back into my wife's wallet

Thanks so much. Just called and got 52.14 back. So after reward points I paid a total of $354 for the tablet.

 

[dilligaf]

Had to convince him that 28 miles was within tolerance of their 25 mile limit. After asking permission, he came back and said he could do it.

 

[BUYMECAR]

No MicroCenter stores in my state. /wrists

 

[cyrax2768]

Doesn't matter what state you live in, i live in Florida and told them the MicroCenter in Yonkers New York had it and she applied the credit.

 

[Dekan54]

Yes - This rebate worked for me at Best Buy. It is well worth the $50

 

[junrider]

Has someone tried this at a local Bestbuy with an OMS order?

 

[sparkym3]

This is great, just called them up and they credited me $50.
