Best Buy’s 2024 holiday sales: What to know

Best Buy always has deals on popular items like streaming devices, televisions and Apple products like the AirPods Pro and the Apple Watch Series 9. They also have many great sale events, including one that typically happens on or around Prime Day, which I covered earlier this year.

The electronics retailer recently announced its roster of planned sales events for the rest of the year and there are a lot of discounts you should be on the lookout for. Below, I break down all of the holiday sale events Best Buy has scheduled and important dates and details to keep in mind.

The sale events below are in chronological order, with the ones happening soon at the top, and the ones happening later on in the year toward the bottom. 

Dates: Sept. 27 to Sept. 29

The retailer is having its Exclusive Member Sale for its My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members. Anyone with a membership will get exclusive offers on electronics like laptops and TVs. Both existing members and people who sign up for a new membership who spend at least $500 between Sept. 27 and Oct. 20 get a $50 gift certificate to use toward Best Buy products.

Dates: Sept. 30 to Oct. 13

Best Buy’s Apple Trade-Up event is essentially the retailer’s version of a trade-in deal, which allows customers to trade in products like Apple Watches, unlocked iPhones and MacBooks to get savings on newer Apple tech products. My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members get 10% more savings on Apple trade-ins. 

Dates: Oct. 8 to Oct. 9

The two-day flash sale will include deals on tech products like gaming consoles, televisions, desktop monitors and more.

Starting on Monday, Oct. 21 with an unstated end date, this Prep for the Holidays event will include lots of deals on entertainment-forward tech for hosting holiday parties and events, including smart home devices, televisions and home appliances.

The retailer will celebrate the release of the popular video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, by promoting deals on gaming software, accessories and consoles. They’ll also be introducing an in-store PC gaming event in select cities, which will let customers test new gaming tech.
