Black Friday Early Access for Rewards Member?

wow regular members get an early access sale this year

I think they did last year as well. Considering they gave everyone early access already on the 8th, it’s not surprising. It’ll probably be the same set of items for this round.

That would be the worst news, yet. I actually have Elite status for the first year. There better be more.

Is this online or in store sales? In the past it was usually just online but this doesn't say that, so I'm thinking they may have some of the items in the stores as well.

Nice, it has it's benefits. I always hit elite or elite plus by Black Friday every year, lol. Only negative is if you choose the 12 month interest free rather than the rewards, it doesn't count towards your status.

Does the Elite access start at midnight PST?

This is my 1st time with Elite status so I want to take advantage of it.

  I think in the past its been like 11 am? I cant remember. Did you get an email from them ? I havent received anything yet.

Last year it was midnight CST according to our "live" thread we had for last year's BB online sale. So in 2.5 hours.

Just an observation of the sales for Elite members vs. non Elite member early access sales. There were many more items available for Elite members in the early access (some below the posted sale prices) than there  were for non Elite members. I bought most of what I needed, but checked for a few other items I wasn't sure about getting or sold out, that although available and not sold out, are full price, not the Black Friday sale price. I checked numerous items that I know were available to Elite members and they are full price for the regular members even though their early access is now available. Once again,  having the Elite helped me get many of the non ticketed items early and not have to run around the store hunting for them on Black Friday. I still intend to be first in line Thursday when they open, but even that does not secure the items if you have to run through the entire store to find them.

I completely agree. I noticed that this morning. I went back to just browse some stuff. I think 0 of my 11 items I ordered yesterday in the Elite sale were available today in the Member sale.  That couldn't possibly be because it knows we're Elite and we had our chance...?  I'm really sad for the My Best Buy members and the lack of an actual pre-sale...

This was the first year in many that I didn't have Elite status. I found the selection very disappointing. In previous years I was able to get everything in the ad I wanted on early access. This year I only got a disposable printer. I was looking for Gears of War 4, the Skullcandy Method wireless ear buds, Wonder Woman on 4k and the Onkyo receiver. Non were available. Most of the 4k movies available were sold out only one minute into the sale. Though a few came back in stock late today. I was up because I work third shift. I would not have been happy if I stayed up for the early access. I'm really over Best Buy.

I did stay up for it and was sadly disappointed.  What a joke.  My DH desperately needs a new laptop and I was hoping the one he wanted would be on the sale for us "regular" people, but guess not.  I noticed it said "out of stock" so may have been on the elite sale.  Hope they have more.
