Is My Best Buy membership worth it? A breakdown of perks and savings
With a My Best Buy membership, shoppers get exclusive deals and perks but there is a membership fee for the better perks. Best Buy offers a three-tier membership program:
My Best Buy™ (Free): This basic tier provides free standard shipping with no minimum purchase, access to purchase history, online order tracking and quick checkout options.
My Best Buy Plus™ ($49.99/year): In addition to the benefits of the free tier, Plus members enjoy exclusive member-only prices on thousands of items, early access to sales and high-demand products, free 2-day shipping with no minimum purchase, and an extended 60-day return and exchange window on most products.
My Best Buy Total™ ($179.99/year): This premium tier encompasses all the advantages of the Plus membership, along with up to 24 months of product protection on most new Best Buy purchases (including AppleCare+ for Apple products), 24/7 Geek Squad® tech support for all tech regardless of where it was purchased, 20% off repairs and dedicated member support.
A My Best Buy membership can be a great investment for frequent shoppers who regularly purchase electronics or need tech support. For example, if you’re buying a high-end laptop, a TV and accessories in the same year, the exclusive discounts and extended return window from a My Best Buy Plus™ or Total™ membership could easily outweigh the annual cost.
Additionally, My Best Buy Total™ includes 24/7 Geek Squad tech support and product protection, which can save money on repairs and replacements, especially for expensive devices.
However, if you only shop at Best Buy occasionally or don’t need perks like extended warranties and tech support, the membership may not be worth the price. Some benefits, like free shipping, are already available with standard promotions, and occasional shoppers may find similar deals elsewhere.
Before signing up, evaluate how often you shop at Best Buy and compare the membership cost to the savings you’d actually use to determine if it’s the right fit for you.
