Best Buy matches around 19 named competitors including Amazon, Walmart, and Costco — one of the most generous price match policies left in electronics retail, especially since Target dropped its own competitor matching in 2025. It's suspended, though, during the Thanksgiving-to-Cyber Monday blackout.
No Price Matching During the Holiday Shopping Rush
Best Buy pauses all price matching — including its own price drops — from the Thursday before Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, since holiday pricing changes too fast and includes limited-time deals competitors can't sustain. Outside that window, standard customers get 15 days to request a match or adjustment, while My Best Buy Plus and Total members get 60 days.
One of the Few Electronics Retailers Still Matching Competitors
When Target ended its external competitor price matching in July 2025, Best Buy became one of the last major electronics retailers still willing to match outside competitors rather than only its own channels.
