heffer569 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Doesn't best but usually have an early access sale for people who spend over a certain amount on their card. I know I got stuff last year that way does anyone have any info on it.
Brad Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 They probably won't announce that for another week or so. Still plenty of time.
heffer569 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something
miller205 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 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.
momlori Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Really hoping they do the early access this year. Several items I would like to order and check off the list 1
momlori Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 It does state on their website there will be early access for Elite members. Just not when exactly 1
jaymacfla Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Will be nice but no more triple points since they stripped the benefits to the bone.
hack2222 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Most of the time it's a selective handful of doorbusters. A few of the select movies, it's just about 15 to 20 items total.
deelite Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 It does state on their website there will be early access for Elite members. Just not when exactly Usually it is the Monday before Thanksgiving so it should be 11/24. 1
IDmom262 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 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.

Kim3498 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) What are these 6 mystery items; for us less fortunate souls.... Today was the: LG 55" tv, $100.00 iTunes card for $85.00, digiland 10.1 tablet, life proof cases, beats headphones, and Phillips hues starter kit. Edited November 12, 2014 by Kim3498 1

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!
Kim3498 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 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..... 1
bribri25 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah, I thought the elite sale included most everything. Maybe that'll be the last one which includes most of the sales for elite members. Thanks.
Kim3498 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Maybe. I do so much shopping for other people, and just makes it easier if I have my own shopping outta the way. Edited November 12, 2014 by Kim3498

In the past years it has been the Monday before Black Friday.
jaymacfla Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 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.
jmecherul Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 what a bunch of junk. there is nothing that i need to buy from this dismal list. disappointed.

Kim3498 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 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. 2
Monstermile Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Some more of the BF items are on sale now. I'm grabbing the 32" Samsung Smart TV for $249. It is $247 in the BF ad. I'll pay the extra $2 to avoid the hassle.
jmecherul Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 well it is noon Sunday, and no words of the Monday sale if that will even take place.
deelite Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 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.
Kim3498 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited November 23, 2014 by Kim3498
