FYI, shopping at Best Buy stores, if you use selected Chase credit cards and pay with the Chase Pay app at Best Buy stores from 11/20-12/24, you’ll earn a total of 10 points per dollar. Nice deal.
There are news reports of people that have been camping out of stores for well over a week or two. Definitely love living in the internet age for things like ordering online (just not for the toxicity, of course).
Best Buy did not offer these deals online like everyone else. No surprise. In 2011 HP had a worldwide meltdown on the "Touchpad" back in 2011. Look it up because, at the time, this was worldwide news. Now.......I do not blame Best Buy in general for this event happening. It was way more complicated than that and far beyond the level of BB. BUT........BB was given the same opportunity as every other store to sell the Touchpad at the reduced rate. And I can tell you first hand.........I saw this meltdown online at about 5am that morning. I immediately went to 2 WalMarts to be exact. The employees had no idea but after a few phone calls sold me the Touchpad at the reduced price. BB........well, they opened late and were sold out within a few minutes. BUT.......they still offered them online at a price 10 dollars higher than everyone else. With NO return accepted. So I ordered one anyway after I returned home and they sent me a TP with a broken case. That is one of many stories I could tell you about BB but simply put...........I only go to them if, like with Radio Shack, I need something immediately. Which, fortunately, is a rare occurrence.
