Best Buy

Keeping your technology in tip-top shape is never an easy task. Whether you’re not that into the how and why of tech, or its parents, grandparents, or just a friend, there’s always that moment where someone needs help.

Best Buy has offered, for years, its Geek Squad Protection Plans. In fact, Best Buy offered software solutions that covered a few computers for yearly fees, as well. That all changed when the company launched “Total Tech Support Powered by Geek Squad.” This new service covers just about everything you might need for one low yearly fee, but is it worth it?

Normally $700, this is one of the best prices we’ve tracked recently on TCL’s 65-inch 4K UHDTV. Ratings are thin here, but TCL is well-rated at both Best Buy and Amazon.

Leaked internal memos seem to indicate Best Buy is shuttering its Gamers Club Unlocked and free Gamers Club programs. The paid subscription was a favorite among avid gamers as it yielded some of the best deals on new releases, amiibo and more, not mention deeper trade-in values. And now it appears the whole thing is going away, making that coveted Amazon Prime membership even more valuable than it already is.

Earlier this week Best Buy launched an attractive pre-order deal on the latest Apple iPad that nets shoppers a $25 gift card. Now, it’s detailing updated trade-in offers on previous generation iPad Air/mini/Pro. Best Buy will deliver a minimum $125 gift card when you bring in a previous generation device.

An obvious move is to use the gift card in tandem with the new 9.7-inch iPad offer, but you can pair it with just about anything at Best Buy. For comparison, Gazelle is currently offering a $60 gift card for an iPad mini 2. Best Buy will give $180 for an iPad Air 2 in solid condition, which is 50% more than we’ve found at competing services. Full terms and conditions can be found below or on this landing page.
