Does Best Buy price match? Important details and how to take advantage.

Over a decade ago, Best Buy put its foot down and decided its prices would not be beaten by competitors. Best Buy’s Price Match Guarantee was announced in February of 2013 and went into effect in early March of the same year, according to Forbes.

Later in March 2013, Best Buy announced the policy would be permanent. Now, over 10 years after the birth of the Price Match Guarantee, does the company still offer the same deal to its customers?

Here’s all you need to know about the current state of Best Buy’s price match policy.

Does Best Buy price match?

Yes, Best Buy and its subsidiary Pacific Sales still honor the decade-old price match policy – as confirmed over the phone by at least one Best Buy location in each continental U.S. time zone.

With a revised policy updated in February 2023, the store remains committed to matching the in-store and online prices of local retailers, as well as products shipped from and sold by Amazon, Crutchfield, Dell and HP, according to their website. The prices of third-party sellers on these sites, as well as any other online retailers, will not be matched.

This policy also excludes membership deals, Black Friday deals, bundle offers and items advertised as limited in quantity. A complete list of exclusions and special considerations can be found here.
