Starting Oct. 1, Best Buy is kicking off a month dedicated to helping customers get the most out of their holiday shopping with special purchase rewards, exclusive sale events with top brands like Samsung and Microsoft, access to deeper discounts for Plus and Total members, and more.

“Our teams are ready to deliver a holiday like never before — with more savings, convenient gift pick-up and delivery, as well as new in-store, online and virtual experiences that will inspire customers while they shop this season,” said Jason Bonfig, senior executive vice president of customer offerings and fulfillment at Best Buy. “We’ll also have our broadest collection to date of new and emerging technologies, like e-transportation, health and wellness, and outdoor living, and more ways to help shoppers get the expert advice we know they’re looking for.”

Save all season — starting in October

Each holiday season, shoppers count on Best Buy for the hottest deals, and this year is no different. Customers can, of course, expect Black Friday deals leading up to the main event in November. This year, savings events start in October.

• October is Member Exclusive Month: Every day in October, Plus and Total members¹ will get exclusive access to thousands of deals and discounts on the tech they love. They also can get an early holiday gift: Members who spend $500 in October will receive a $50 reward certificate to use on Best Buy purchases in December. Best Buy will end the month giving members early access to some of the best Black Friday deals Oct. 27-29.

• Exclusive Samsung and Microsoft sales: Best Buy is teaming up with fan favorites Samsung (Oct. 6-8) and Microsoft (Oct. 13-15) for two special sale events. Shoppers who spend $1,000 on Samsung products, including home theater and appliances, between Oct. 6-8 will receive a $100 reward to use on other Samsung products between Oct. 24 and Nov. 16. During the Microsoft event, customers can access offers on Xbox and Windows products, including savings up to $500 on Windows laptops.

• 48-Hour Flash Sale: From Oct. 10-11, Best Buy will have a 48-Hour Flash Sale with hundreds of deals on some of the best tech, from TVs and laptops, headphones and smartwatches, to electric transportation and more.
