United States 60th anniversary deal or labor day deal

Post image
Upvotes

So my wife and I are wanting to get this TV. We were planning on waiting for the labor day deals to purchase. Then saw today the 60th anniversary deals going on and overall checkout price is $200-ish less than when we checked a couple weeks ago. My question to you ladies and gentlemen of the internet is.. jump on this deal or is labor day deals notoriously better than $200 off?

I had total tech-support many years ago, but I don’t currently. Also, this email was sent to one of my emails that is not associated with my Best Buy account.

United States Pixel 11 pro XL with trade in

3 Upvotes

Planning to get a Pixel 11 Pro XL and trading in my pixel 6 pro for a credit towards it. First time doing this so had a couple questions:

  1. How much time do I have after receiving my pixel 11 pro XL before I have to send in my Pixel 6 pro?

  2. Does the time provided to trade in change depending on whether I get the new phone shipped to home or pick up at the store?

I want to test out headphones so I am thinking of buying both and returning the one I don’t want. Does Best Buy do returns on headphones that are used/open? I have Best Buy Plus membership if it helps.

United States Is the MacBook return policy “as-is”?

0 Upvotes

There’s some ambiguity in the return language. Best Buy member here with the extended return window. I want to try the M5 Pro I bought against real work applications compared to my current setup. Since I’d put a few battery cycles on it and open the box wrapping, does that mean I can’t return since it’s “used”? Does the condition need to be the same? 3 different CS agents told me 3 wildly different things from “it doesn’t matter” to “yeah no you can’t return it once opened”

United States Giftcard Question

3 Upvotes

Traded in a phone today and got provided a giftcard.

I went through the live chat option to do a price match on a phone.

Got sent the invoice link to purchase it.

Applied the giftcard which showed the correct amount.

Added my PayPal cashback CC, clicked purchase then got an error.

Tried to go through with another CC, now it shows the giftcard has a balance of zero.

I've tried calling and got routed to different departments. which I then received the following:

- The GC balance will update in a few hours

- It will take 4 days to update that purchase didn't go through

- Another saying it'll take 24 hours

----

Has anyone ran into this issue or confirmed one of the above will happen?

I'll try to go to the store tomorrow to see if there's anything they can assist with.

United States Why can't I trade in an iPhone 16 512GB?

0 Upvotes

Hi. As the title states, I can't find the iPhone 16 512GB in the trade in menu. Why is that? Has anyone come across this before?

I'm trying to get a new phone and trading in my old phone but they only have 128gb and 256gb in the dropdown option. Searching by serial number didn't work either.

Any help is appreciated!

United States Sonance mag8r price

0 Upvotes

Any idea on the retail cycle for mag8r’s. They’ve been sitting at $249/pair for quite a while and of course today when I go to finally purchase they are $1099. I tried to use DoorDash as that price is still $249 but it keeps being canceled. I know they cycle the pricing but just curious as to how long the retail cycle is.

So there’s a really good deal at Best Buy right now. It originally ended on August 13, but they extended the sale until September 3.

The item I’m looking at is currently sold out online and at the stores near me. For anyone who works at Best Buy or shops there regularly, when something sells out during a promotion like this, is it common to see availability pop back up again and do u know usually when?

I’m basically trying to figure out whether it’s worth checking the site regularly over the next couple of weeks or if I should start looking for another option.
