Best Buy Plus Ends B2G1 Switch Game Promo Before the Holidays! :(

You know it's not often I need to post an update to a video so quickly, but we go. Several days ago I posted how joining Best Buy's My Best Buy Plus program gave you pricing and return protection for 60 days, meaning you can buy the tech you're interested in now and know that if it goes on sale between now and Black Friday you can get price adjusted. Another feature that I referenced was the buy two, get one free on Nintendo Switch games. Well, from under our noses, Best Buy has removed this perk, and as a consumer, I feel kind of screwed over as Best Buy Plus Ends B2G1 Switch Game Promo Before the Holidays! :(

So a little bit of a backstory here, my Best Buy Plus is a $49.99 a year annual subscription that offers benefits such as priority 2-day shipping, exclusive sales and prices on items, 60-day price match and return window, and for me, one of the biggest benefits was the fact they offered by two get one free on Nintendo Switch games for members. Now, any promotion or sale can end at any time, I get that. I worked in retail long enough to understand that concept. The issue that I take with this and removing this benefit is the fact that they listed it as an everyday benefit. Words have meaning, and I took them at their word. Clearly, everyday does not mean the same thing to them as it does to me.

I strongly feel that Best Buy is in the wrong here. Here's the thing, they literally said every day. One of the reasons why I subscribed to the My Best Buy Plus package is for this benefit. I called my oldest daughter the day that I signed up for it so that way if she wanted to get games for herself or her boyfriend over the holidays we could do it and save some money.

So what's the recourse? Well, I'm still within the window where I can cancel this plan and not be out of anything. I'm strongly considering doing that. I may hedge my bets and keep it through when the Black Friday ads start showing up, I believe I have up to 60 days to cancel it. I'm very disappointed that they changed this perk, I understand things change, but how they worded it was very disingenuous and dishonest. I've heard some people talking about a class action lawsuit, I don't think that makes sense. If you complain enough to Best Buy they'll likely refund your subscription fee. But regardless, this is a bad look for Best Buy.
