Announced in a blog post yesterday, Best Buy’s $200-per-year Totaltech service has gone live<\/a> at all stores in the United States. Totaltech is a service that provides unlimited tech support access as well as perks like product protection, free delivery \/ installs, repair discounts, an expanded 60-day return window and free haul-away of old tech \/ appliances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it also comes with a newly announced perk: “exclusive access to some of the season\u2019s hardest-to-find products”<\/em>. We can reasonably predict that this will include hard to find game consoles like the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch OLED. It’s likely that it will also include NVIDIA 30XX series video cards as well as Apple products like the iPhone 13 Pro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Buy plans to provide special pricing & deals on this exclusive inventory starting on October 18, bringing back a promotion from last year called Member Mondays. While My Best Buy members will also have access to some Member Monday deals (free to join<\/a>), it’s likely that TotalTech members will get either an exclusive window to the same deals or specific inventory held back. In the past, Member Monday was a 24-hour event, starting at midnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When exclusive deals are released, we will provide the information in the main Ben’s feed as well as a cost benefit analysis of the subscription service. For instance, if you are purchasing a new, large television this year, Totaltech could turn out to be a good deal if you are planning on having it wall-mounted. Best Buy charges $200 for delivery & wall-mounting, the cost of 1 year of TotalTech which includes free delivery and installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s highly likely that Best Buy will continue to sell high-demand products outside of Totaltech as well. The retailer has been particularly proficient at holding in-store events<\/a> for items like the PS5 and NVIDIA 3080 graphics card recently, basically sending inventory to specific stores and having interested customers line up outside the store. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
