What actually works at Best Buy

• Price Match Guarantee: Best Buy matches qualifying competitors' prices, including Amazon on most items. This is the discount that is actually written down.
• Ask in store, politely: some managers extend a courtesy discount to military customers at their discretion. It costs nothing to ask with your ID; just do not plan a purchase around it.
• Open-box and outlet pricing: often deeper than any 10% discount would be.
• Buy the brand's military program instead: several brands Best Buy carries verify military status directly and discount on their own sites, sometimes more than 10%.
