The announcement of Amazon’s October Prime Day dates signals the arrival of significant fall sales events from various retailers, including Best Buy. Best Buy recently revealed its extensive fall savings schedule just one day prior to Amazon’s confirmation, marking the beginning of a season filled with discounts.
Best Buy’s sales event is tailored as a countdown to the holiday season and is divided into multiple sales spanning from September 27 to October 25. Among these, a standout 48-hour flash sale is set for October 8 and 9, coinciding perfectly with the dates of Amazon’s Prime Day.
As the holiday shopping season approaches, here’s what you need to know about Best Buy’s pre-Black Friday timeline:
-
Exclusive Member Sale: From September 27 to 29, Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy members will gain exclusive access to discounts on popular tech products, including laptops and TVs. This offers an opportunity for savvy shoppers to find deals on premium electronics.
-
Apple Trade-Up Event: Running from September 30 to October 20, customers can trade in their Apple devices, including Apple Watches and iPhones, for savings on the latest Apple products.
-
48-Hour Flash Sale: On October 8 and 9, Best Buy will host a major flash sale featuring steep discounts on TVs, gaming gear, laptops, and more — a direct competitor to Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days.
-
Prep for the Holidays Event: Beginning October 21, even more pre-holiday deals will emerge, giving customers ample opportunities to save before January.
-
Three-day Gaming Event: Commencing October 25, Best Buy will spotlight gaming discounts in celebration of the highly anticipated release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with deals on games, consoles, and accessories.
As October progresses, Best Buy is expected to transition into full Black Friday mode. While not explicitly stated, past patterns indicate that early access for paid members may begin around October 27, with general sales opening to all on October 30.
