In an effort to live up to its ambitious name, retailer Best Buy is going head-to-head against Amazon Prime Day with its own summertime promotion. “Black Friday in July” begins on Monday, July 15 and continues through July 17.
Unlike Prime Day, Black Friday in July does not require a membership to a loyalty program. Anyone can visit a Best Buy store, its website, or its app for deals on computers, TVs, and appliances. But if you do decide to join the any of the company’s three My Best Buy programs, you’ll have access to additional members-only special offers, deeper discounts on some items, and a $50 bonus reward when you spend $500 or more.
