Also available direct. It has a list price of $380 and usually fetches that much when it’s not on sale. Today’s deal is a match of our previous low mention. This 4K set is an ideal bedroom or den TV.

Best Buy’s new two-day shipping policy takes on Amazon Prime ahead of back-to-school sales

This morning, Best Buy kicked off a new shipping policy that rivals Amazon Prime. My Best Buy members now receive free two-day shipping on “thousands of items”, which is a change from its traditional standard delivery service that still applies to all other shoppers. Elite and Elite Plus subscribers will continue to enjoy no minimums on all purchases. It is free to sign up for a My Best Buy membership. If you do any shopping at the online and B&M retailer, it’s a no-brainer. Alongside this new shipping policy, you’ll have early access to Best Buy’s major annual events like last week’s Black Friday in July sale.

It’s also worth noting a change to the reward program’s point and gift card system. Starting August 28th, My Best Buy members will receive 0.5 points per $1 spent, which is a 50% decrease from the previous policy. For example, it will now take $500 worth of purchases to earn a $5 gift card. Elite members will continue to earn 1 per $1 spent and Elite Plus gets a bump to 1.25 for each $1. This is another move by Best Buy to make its higher tiers all the more attractive to consumers. The following minimums remain in place for achieving higher membership levels: $1,500 worth of purchase per calendar year for Elite status and $3,500 for Plus.

Best Buy’s decision to re-structure its reward system by purchases versus a flat fee sets it apart from Amazon’s $11/mo. Prime subscription.  No matter how often you shop, it’s a wise move to sign up for a My Best Buy membership. You’ll only reap benefits in this instance. Learn more about Best Buy’s incentive program here.

Blu-rays from $4.50: Se7en, The Dark Knight, Jurassic Park, The Goonies, much more

Best Buy and Amazon continue to add to their on-line bargain bin of Blu-ray’s each month with relatively new and noteworthy titles all around $5 each. Also, Best Buy is currently offering Buy one, Get one free on select Blu-rays starting at $10 for two.

Our pick from Amazon is a Prime member exclusive title Se7en from the year 1995. This intense thriller was the break-through role for Kevin Spacey and it received an Oscar nomination as well as numerous other awards.

A film about two homicide detectives’ (Morgan Freeman and (Brad Pitt desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world’s ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic “John Doe” (Kevin Spacey) sermonizes to Detectives Somerset and Mills — one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer’s terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured but jaded Somerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer’s modus operandi while the bright but green and impulsive Detective Mills (Pitt) scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer…

2-Pack Apple official silicone and leather iPhone 6/Plus cases from $31 shipped (Orig. $70)


Best Buy is currently running a special promotion on clearance cell phone accessories: Buy 2 (or more) and save 50% on each item. The extra discount is automatically taken during checkout as long as your order qualifies for the promo. Many different accessories are eligible including selfie sticks and screen protectors, but the best deal we’ve found is for Apple official iPhone cases.

Apple iPhone 6/Plus silicone and leather cases in multiple colors are already slightly discounted, but drop even further thanks to this promotion. For example, your total cost for 2 iPhone 6 silicone cases is just $30.99 shipped for both. The only thing to keep in mind here is that these are the previous generation cases. Apple released updated cases alongside iPhone 6s, but these older models should fit the new iPhones just fine.

Looking to go super low-cost? We have some iPhone case deals as low as $1 right now.

Best Buy makes a splash with the lowest Apple Watch prices ever, deals start at just $249

Apple Watch is at the top of many holiday wish lists this year and luckily for gift shoppers it’s received numerous discounts since Black Friday. In fact, Target and B&H are both offering significant Apple Watch promotions right now.

This morning Best Buy jumped into the fray with the best straight up Apple Watch deal we’ve ever seen: $100 off any Apple Watch Sport or Apple Watch model. More than 20 different watch configurations are eligible for this discount. The smaller 38mm Sport models start at just $249 with free shipping. In comparison, past deals only offered a savings of $50 on Sport models and some also tossed in a free gift card. Best Buy’s deal represents the lowest out-the-door price we’ve seen for any Apple Watch in new condition.

Use your savings to grab a charging dock for your nightstand or desk. I’d recommend Nomad’s Apple Watch Stand (on sale for $41), Twelve South’s HiRise ($50), or one of Spigen’s low-cost options (from $11).

Best of Black Friday — Apple: deals on iPad Air 2, iPhone 6s/Plus, Apple Watch, Macs, more!

The absolute last place you want to shop for iPhone, iPad, and Mac deals this Black Friday is the Apple Store. Historically, Apple’s participation in the biggest shopping day of the year has been limited to offering super modest (borderline insulting) discounts or free iTunes Gift Cards. We suspect this year won’t be any different.

On the flip side, other major retailers including Best Buy, Target, and Staples are extending huge discounts to many of Apple’s flagship products. To help you plan your holiday shopping, we’ve pored over every Black Friday ad available to bring you the very best upcoming Apple deals:

Best Buy lands the first major blow in this year’s battle for holiday shoppers

(Update 10/23 12:05pm): Target’s Toy Book ad leak reveals that the retailer is also going to offer free shipping for all online holiday orders. (via BFAds)

The holiday shopping season is starting to heat up. Earlier this week we saw the first major Black Friday ad leak and now Best Buy has made a major announcement that could force the hands of other retailers.

Starting this Sunday and running through the new year, Best Buy will offer free standard shipping on all orders. There’s no order minimum, but all items must be sold by and shipped from Best Buy. The current order minimum for free shipping is $35. It’s worth noting that My Best Buy Elite members get free standard shipping year-round on all orders.

Other retailers including Amazon, Walmart and Target also offer free shipping without order minimums, but they require paid memberships or store-specific credit cards. Best Buy’s move will likely go a long way in helping them win over the rest of consumers who aren’t already in bed with another retailer.

Bose SoundLink Mini Portable Bluetooth Speaker $159 (Orig. $200)

Amazon offers the Bose SoundLink Mini for $159 with free shipping, which is $41 below its original price and amongst the lowest deals we’ve seen that doesn’t require rebates or unique coupon codes. Best Buy and B&H have also dropped their prices. There’s no doubt this deal was brought forward due to the SoundLink Mini II being released over the summer (review here). But the original SoundLink Mini remains one of our all-time favorite portable Bluetooth speakers, so you’re still getting a solid performer with this deal. It includes a charging cradle and AUX port, but sound quality (especially bass) is this speaker’s best feature. More than 6,200 Amazon reviewers rate it 4.7 out of 5 stars.

Looking for something at a lower price point? Best Buy has the Sony SRSX3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $59.99 shipped. That’s $70 better than its original price and the lowest price we can find. Rated 4.6 out of 5 stars from 239 Amazon reviewers.
