So I was shopping with my wife today and I said "oh let's see if my membership helps out." So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I'm paying for in this membership if the items "original price" is higher for me than it is for regular shoppers?
Edit: yeah, I am derp, the protection plan is part of the cart and is what makes the "member" price higher without the discount. Leaving my original response in case anyone doesn't know what would be illegal, if it was actually happening here
~~This is, in fact, actively illegal. Companies cannot advertise a "sale price" under a number of circumstances, such as when the price is the same absent the sale (e.g. there's no actual discount) or when the price was artificially raised just prior to the "sale": https://content.next.westlaw.com/practical-law/document/I6dfb3ee4077511e89bf099c0ee06c731/Beware-of-the-Sale-Complying-with-Promotional-Pricing-Guidelines~~
~~In this case, the "regular" or non-member price was raised precisely 0 seconds before applying the uh... "discount". Pretty cut-and-dry violation by any metric.~~
Looks like you might be getting some sort of protection plan thing for free. Check that out. It lists the member price as $0
Best buy destroyed their membership about a year ago now, where you only get points if you put it on their credit card, and the amount of points you need to redeem went way up. (Instead of $5 for $250 spent it's now $5 for seemingly $500 spent).
I tried to shop there while they had their last CEO. he was investing in training, better wages, better stores, more stock, just overall a better experience. Now they have some basic late stage capitalism CEO destroying everything the last CEO built. If you've been into a store recently and noticed a decline in quality, that's why
Fuck em. They don't care about me as a customer anymore, why should I care about going to them vs a competitor? And trust me, I'm someone who made them wayyyyyy too much money.
Were you doing this from the same IP address? Cause some places check for that kind of thing.
Omg they raised the original price to create some puny "savings"? That's scammy AF
