If they won’t price match, why bother shopping there? I have found that Best Buy says they will price match anything, however, they don’t even price match things advertised on their own website. Was told that is due to the fact the web “store” is not a part of the Best Buy family of stores? Huh?

Walmart is selling the phone for $100 less than Apple or AT&T, and you can still go on the AT&T installment plan.

Their motto is "Expert Service. Unbeatable Price". Yet, they're $100 higher than any other retailer for the iPhone 8 Plus and will not budge on the price even when going into the store to ask them to price match it and pay FULL amount instead of payments. Best Buy was my first stop to buy the iPhone 8 Plus. Now that it's released, soon they'll have to come down in price to Apples MSRP to compete.

Multiply the monthly payments times the months and you get a competitive price

Best Buy told be that’s just what they are selling them for. And will not Price Match

alien · Answer

They will match the price if you buy it outright rather than splitting it up in monthly installments.

I suspect the additional $99 is for the Apple Protection plan. Not sure though.

Unfortunately it may be a way for Best but to profit selling these iPhones, but if you plan on buying any of new iPhones, just make sure and have the associates price match the phone on Apple's website.
