Holiday Has Arrived! Best Buy Announces Earlier Black Friday and Guarantees Black Friday Prices


Dust off those stockings, the holidays are officially here. Best Buy is giving you all the secrets to having the most successful gift-giving season ever. (Hint: start your shopping now.) We've thrown out the old holiday calendar and created a whole new one to help you score the hottest tech at the best deals.

Black Friday deals start Oct. 19.

Kicking off Tuesday, Oct. 19 and running through Friday, Oct. 22., we'll have hundreds of our Black Friday deals available on the season's hottest tech, including everything from headphones to laptops and more. Need some gift idea inspiration to get you started? We've got it handled with gift ideas for everyone on your list.

Here's a first look at a few of the hottest deals:

Black Friday Price Guarantee with automatic reimbursement.

Still thinking you should hold off on adding to cart? We've got you covered. All of the deals in our Oct. 19 sale are covered by our Black Friday Price Guarantee, which means the price won't go lower before Black Friday. If it does, we'll automatically refund our My Best Buy and Best Buy Totaltech members the difference.1 No need to email or show us your receipt, just money back in your pocket.

If the price goes lower before Black Friday and customers are not a member of My Best Buy or Best Buy Totaltech, they can still be reimbursed by visiting their local store or contacting our Best Buy customer care team and requesting a price match under our Price Match Guarantee. 2

Black Friday begins Nov. 19 this year.

While we'll have Black Friday deals available multiple times throughout the season, another way we're helping you get the goods early is by recreating the November calendar. At Best Buy, Black Friday starts a week early, on Friday, Nov. 19. As usual, we'll have thousands of deals on the tech at the top of your list.

Shop how you want.

We're once again making it easy to shop for your favorite tech early, and we're helping you get your orders in more ways than ever before.

Make the most of your membership.

We're celebrating our new Best Buy Totaltech membership program with Member Monday, special deals on most Mondays throughout the season available exclusively to members of Totaltech and My Best Buy, our free membership program.

This season, Totaltech members will also get more opportunities than anyone else to hopefully score some of this year's hardest-to-find products, like gaming products.

Gift of green.

Best Buy is launching our greenest gift cards yet, just in time for the holiday gifting season. These new gift cards are 100% paper and can be recycled alongside all the other things you normally put in your recycle bin at home. We started switching over to paper recyclable gifts card in 2018, and we've helped avoid adding approximately 196 tons of plastic waste to landfills since then.

Shop safely.

Your safety remains important to us, and we're continuing many of our safety protocols throughout the holiday season. Our Best Buy employees are following multiple safety guidelines, including mandatory face coverings, wellness checks prior to their shifts, regular cleaning of high-touch areas and more. Stores will also have floor markers to help customers in line remain 6 feet apart, protective shields at the registers and more.

Thanksgiving reminder.

Best Buy stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 25. Customers who would still like to shop that day can shop on BestBuy.com or through the Best Buy app.
