Best Buy Canada has one of the most generous price protection policies in the country — and their open-box section is full of near-mint returns at steep discounts. Here’s exactly how to use both for maximum savings.

Best Buy Price Match Guarantee (Still Strong in 2025)

Best Buy will match any lower price from a major Canadian competitor (including Amazon.ca, Walmart.ca, Costco.ca, etc.) at the time of purchase — and for 30 days after.

• Works online and in-store
• Includes sale prices, not just regular prices
• Applies to identical model numbers and condition
• Excludes marketplace/third-party sellers and flash sales

Post-Purchase Price Protection (30 Days)

If the price drops at Best Buy OR a qualifying competitor within 30 days, you get the difference back.

• Bring receipt in-store or contact online support
• Works even on Boxing Week/Black Friday purchases

Open Box / Geek Squad Certified Savings

Best Buy’s open-box items are returns that have been inspected — often brand-new condition at 10–40% off.

• Look for “Open Box – Excellent”, “Excellent-Certified”, or “Geek Squad Certified”
• Full warranty applies (same as new)
• Direct link: Search any product then filter by “Open Box” or visit store for bigger selection

Stacking Tricks

• Price match + use Rakuten.ca cashback (often 2–5% at Best Buy)
• Pay with a rewards credit card (e.g., 5% back categories)
• Combine with Best Buy gift cards bought at a discount

Final Advice

Always screenshot competitor prices. Best Buy rarely denies valid matches, and the 30-day protection is one of the best in Canada. Open-box laptops, TVs, and appliances often save hundreds with zero compromise.
