Pricing This item was priced at $39.99 at 11:30 AM, and when I went to purchase it at 1:30 PM on the same day, the price had increased $30.00. I copied the item and pricing. The BBY CSR stated there was nothing she could do. Does BBY really want me to purchase this somewhere else?

I've never had an issue with price matching. I have taken and shown the Amazon price on this exact item, and I was able to save $5 in store. I am sorry your experience wasn't the same, but I've had nothing but success, from VA, NJ, and NY.

yes, unfortunately I had the same issue on a lens and they don't have any control over the pricing if they cannot match it with a big retailer (amazon, walmart, ect.)

Best Buy does have a price guarantee program. If you can find another store that has the lower price bring that in and they will match it. or just show them the ad or on line ad price.

No, BB will has the price match guarantee. If Amazon has it cheaper then BB will match price

If you can find the product for the sale price at a BBY direct competitor, they will price match (look at their price match policy.)

Prices fluctuate all the time. That said, Best Buy offers price matching so show them a lower price and they'll match it without a hassle. I prefer to go this route in case the card doesn't work ... makes returns / exchanges much easier.

They price match so if you see it somewhere else call and see if they will price match it. I know they will only price match certain companies.

I have known other websites to do the same. They are trying to grab you as a buyer, but if you snooze, you lose. One nice thing about Best Buy is that they will price match. If you see this item on amazon or other sites, Best Buy is pretty good at honoring the price of competitors.
Good Luck.
