Best buy early access

What kind of deals do Elite members usually have access to?  I am new to BB Black Friday this year but would like to maybe get the Sony Blu Ray player, the Skylanders Trap Team, and Disney Infonity Marvel Superheroes.  It would be nice to be able to check those off my list early.

I just received an email with early access for 6 items. The email says new deals arrive nov 16th and 20th. I had to login to see what the current 6 items were. Check your emails if you are elite/elite plus members.

 

I got this same email. I wonder if they are doing this instead of the usual Monday before Thanksgiving sale for elite shoppers, or doing both? Edited by Kim3498

Thanks - nothing on the early listings that I was looking for but I will keep checking

So those items may vary daily and you might get more before then?  Those are some decent deals, but nothing on the spectacular list.

 

Thanks for the info!

They are releasing 6 more on 11-16-11-19, and then 6 more on 11-20-11-23. The only thing I see is the iPad mini 3 with $75.00 off that I will be ordering and that is for my aunt. If this is what they are doing for elite shoppers it will be a disappointment to me. They usually have a sale on the Monday before thanksgiving that includes pretty much all of the sale. At least I have always been able to order everything I have always needed during that sale, and since my dh and ds16 are techno junkies that is a lot.....

It is usually everything in their ad with the exception of items that say in store only. In the past years it has been the Monday before Black Friday.

They really did change the program for their own benefit. It was a cost savings that they felt could be pushed on to the consumer with a few clever trips and snares masked in a program overhaul where the brass ring was moved higher by $1000. We have also seen cost savings in the form of outdated 60 Hz televisions and items in the ad designed to keep you running through the store longer. I would be surprised if they came out with any surprise items. Most rumors in the last 5 years have not panned out.

 

Only time will tell if the early access will benefit those who spent the extra grand, or if the program finally folds under the weight of consumer disappointment.

Apparently they still have the early access event planned. Here is what a bestbuy specialist had to say about it on the bestbuy forum:

 

We will still have the Black Friday Early Access event on BestBuy.com that we have had the past couple of years. The Black Friday Early Deals that are available 11/12 - 11/15, 11/16 - 11/19, and 11/20 -11/23 are in addition to the usual event the Monday prior to Black Friday. It is a way for our Elite Plus and Elite members to take advantage of some of the Black Friday deals before the Early Access event.

 

This was posted on 11-13.

well it is noon Sunday, and no words of the Monday sale if that will even take place.  

It does seem kind of late this year. They usually would have said something by now as well as given a time. but its just a tactic to wait it out and see what "other" stores (ie...Walmart) will offer.  It is still happening tomorrow just no time or what deals given yet.

Just posted on Bestbuy forum:

 

 

If you have Eltie or Elite Plus status and your accounts (BestBuy.com and My Best Buy) are linked, then you should be able to view the Early Access deals sometime after 12 AM. It might not be right at 12 AM, but within an hour or so afterwards.

 

Another update:

 

 

You should be able to view the Early Access deals around 12 AM central and then the deals should start to go live as the morning progresses.
