FAQs
Does Best Buy offer free delivery?
Yes, Best Buy does indeed offer free delivery. With orders over $35, you qualify for free standard delivery on your items. The $35 minimum spend does not apply to My Best Buy members. Certain items and offers will also allow you to qualify for free next-day delivery, but you will need to check the conditions. Another option is to order online and pick up your purchase in-store if there is a store near you. Orders can be processed and ready for pickup within an hour if your store has stock.
Does Best Buy price match?
Yes, they do. With Best Buy's “Best Price Guarantee”, you can price match an identical item as long as the item is in stock, and you can provide proof of the lower price to Best Buy's customer service representatives. They will then check the products in question and if everything checks out, Best Buy will match the price of the lowest-priced item.
Is there a Best Buy Student discount?
Yes, if you are a college or university student you are eligible for a discount on your purchases. However, to qualify for your Best Buy student discount, you'll need to create an account on the Best Buy website. Once you're a member, you'll be able to view all the offers and deals available to students and save big on all your essentials.
What is the Best Buy trade-in scheme?
If you have old devices hanging around that you don't use, you can get up to $450 store credit for sending them to Best Buy. Best Buy will accept trade-ins on all kinds of technology, and the store credit you receive can be put towards orders to bring the price down. You can see what your gadgets are worth before you hand them in with the Best Buy Trade-In estimator.
What is Best Buy Totaltech membership?
Totaltech is Best Buy's premium membership service that you can sign up for to get extra perks. Some of the extra services offered are free 24/7 technical support, 24 months of product protection on your purchases, exclusive offers, and an extended returns window on selected items. See the Totaltech page for more details.
What is Best Buy's returns policy?
The length of the returns period depends on the item you purchased and selected items might be subject to a restocking fee. Best Buy also offers an extended returns period over the holiday season to cover all those gifts. When returning an item to Best Buy you'll have the choice of returning it to your nearest Best Buy store or using a prepaid shipping label to return it completely free of charge.
Hints and tips
Deal of the day: Check out the “Deal of the Day” section regularly for some of the best deals available on the Best Buy website. These deals change every 24 hours, and it’s a great way to grab a real bargain. We've previously seen deals like $500 off Asus ROG RTX 3080 Gaming Desktops.
Watch for Best Buy sales: Even though Best Buy already offers good deals on their products, one way of making extra savings, especially on larger items, is to wait for one of the seasonal holiday sales. Shopping holidays like Black Friday usually offer the greatest discounts on items and it’s an amazing time to get a massive discount on some of the larger items like televisions and computers.
Become a My Best Buy member: If you're a regular shopper, then it’s certainly worth becoming a My Best Buy member. Joining the scheme lets you earn points for making purchases (you'll get 1 point per every $2 spent) and access exclusive member offers.
Trade in old devices: Make up to $450 store credit from old devices through the Best Buy trade-in scheme. Find out their value online, then if you're happy with the price, send them to the retailer. Once they've received them, you'll get credit you can redeem against future orders.
Get a Best Buy Credit Card: If you're after a new credit card, Best Buy offers two schemes that might appeal to you. With a My Best Buy Credit Card, you'll earn 5% back as points every time you purchase something from Best Buy. The My Best Buy Visa Card offers even more perks, including 5% back on Best Buy purchases as well as 3% back on gas, 2% back on restaurants & takeout, and 1% back on all other purchases.
Sign up for the Best Buy newsletter: Make sure to sign up for Best Buy’s newsletter so that you can receive a heads-up in your inbox for all of the deals and offers that Best Buy is planning ahead of time. That way you never miss out on a deal or special offer on an item you’ve had your eye on.

How we source coupon codes
Tom’s Hardware has a coupons team dedicated to finding the latest and best codes for each of our pages. Through partnerships with retailers, our affiliate networks, and searching the web, we find the most recent ways to save on online orders, including any exclusive codes our commercial team negotiates. We then upload the latest codes & promotions to our pages, refreshing them twice a week.
How we test coupon codes
Our dedicated coupons team tests each code before they’re uploaded to our pages to ensure they will be accepted at the checkout. Coupons can include the likes of free shipping, student discounts, multibuy offers and more, and you’ll find applicable codes for products & services across all categories. However, we don’t list any one-time use or user-specific codes - this is to make sure each code is available for everyone who visits our site to use
For the sake of clarity, we also include key information about each coupon, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, on the page. We update this information whenever we become aware of any changes, with each page updated twice a week. You can read the terms & conditions for an offer by looking for the corresponding text and clicking it to expand the terms section. This text can be found near the ‘Get Code’ button.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Despite our team regularly refreshing our pages and testing every code before upload, every now and then a coupon may not work as intended. Retailers can change expiry dates or terms & conditions before pages can be updated, offers can expire, or a coupon can no longer be accepted. If you have any issues using one of our codes, our team is on hand to help.
It’s always best to start by double-checking a code’s terms & conditions to make sure your order meets the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section. Here you’ll find all available information on your chosen offer. Discounts may be product-specific (i.e. 10% off PC cases), have an associated minimum order value (i.e. spend $30 or more), or require verification (i.e. register with a valid student or workplace email address).
If you comply with all listed requirements and your discount is still not being applied, send an email to our team at coupons.tomshardware@futurenet.com and we can help. Let us know which code you are trying to use and which page it’s listed on, and customer support will reply as soon as possible to assist.
How we make money
Tom’s Hardware earns money from coupon pages on a commission basis. For every coupon page on our site, we have negotiated a deal with that retailer. Whenever someone places an order with that brand and applies one of our codes to their cart, we earn a percentage of the final order total back in commission.
The good news? This means that we offer our codes without charging any fees. Redeeming a discount listed on Tom’s Hardware is always free - all you will need to pay is a discounted price for whatever items you want to buy.
