This shopping event lasts two days, and it’s a great time to buy anything you couldn’t get during earlier sales. Keep in mind, when it comes to Best Buy, don’t expect better discounts with their Cyber Monday than Black Friday.

Best Buy Cyber Monday is an annual 2-day event with big price cuts on electronics.

Best Buy Cyber Monday is the online-only sale at BestBuy.com that actually is a 2-day sale. During this sale, shoppers see up to 50% off regular prices for Apple, Samsung, Microsoft and Amazon products.

Best Buy Cyber Monday Sale runs Sunday, Dec. 1, through Monday, Dec. 2 2024.

Best Buy Cyber Monday — December 2024

As expected, Best Buy's Cyber Monday Sale is running from Dec. 1 - 2, 2024. This is the way the retailer typically holds their Cyber Sale, so no surprises here.

You'll only find Best Buy Cyber Monday deals online.

If you want to shop Best Buy's Cyber Monday deals, you'll have to do so online. This event doesn't take place in store.

Best Buy does have online doorbusters for Cyber Monday.

While technically Best Buy does have doorbusters, you won't find them in store for Cyber Monday. These are limited-quantity deals available only online.

Paid My Best Buy Rewards members won't get early access to the Cyber Monday sale.

Unlike other Best Buy sales, paid My Best Buy members don't get early access to Cyber Monday deals. This is likely for a couple of reasons. First, because the Black Friday deals leading up to the event are often better than Cyber Monday. And second, because the Black Friday deals will be available right up until the minute before Cyber Monday starts.

Best Buy stores open at the regular time of 10 a.m. for the Cyber Monday sale.

Here's the thing — with the Cyber Monday deals only occurring online, there's no need for Best Buy to open their doors early during the event. So expect your local store to open at 10 a.m. as per usual.

These are the top things KCL shoppers bought during Best Buy Cyber Monday in 2023.

Yes, there were a lot of laptops and TVs being ordered, but Best Buy also came through with some sweet deals on small appliances. Take a look:

Here’s the deal on Best Buy policies on Cyber Monday:

  • Price Matching: The Best Buy Price Match Guarantee includes both price matching with competitors and price adjusting with Best Buy’s own prices. Normally, the guarantee works within the normal Best Buy return policy: you get 15 days from the time of your purchase if you’re not a My Best Buy member. But during the holidays, this policy gets a big boost. Last year, anything you purchased from Oct. 27, 2023 through Dec. 30, 2023 had an extended return period through January 13, 2024 (unless it was on the list of exclusions). The only days not included in the policy were the Friday before Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving.

  • Rain Checks: Best Buy doesn't offer rain checks for online purchases, which applies to the deals on Cyber Monday as they are only available on BestBuy.com.

  • Shipping: All My Best Buy Members receive free shipping on any order (no minimum), including the free membership tier.

  • Returns: Best Buy extends its return policy beginning Oct. 27, 2024. Items purchased between Oct. 27 and Dec. 30, 2024 may be returned until Jan. 13, 2025.

Best Buy doesn't offer layaway during the holiday season, but there are some financing options.

It's a challenge to find stores offering layaway this holiday season, and you won't find it at Best Buy. However, if you have the the My Best Buy® Credit Card there are financing options that come with it. Best Buy also touts a "lease-to-own" option with Progressive Leasing. Just keep in mind that interest and other fees will apply.

Don't expect better deals on Cyber Monday than Black Friday.

Best Buy Cyber Monday discounts, while good, aren’t necessarily better than Black Friday at Best Buy. The smartest strategy is to purchase the Best Buy electronics on your list when you see them at a price point you like. Don’t wait for Cyber Monday expecting lower prices. You may be disappointed.

Here’s a good example: one of the Insignia 55″ Smart TVs was on sale during Best Buy Black Friday for 45% off. But the same brand and size of TV on Cyber Monday was only 38% off.
