Best Buy unveils My Best Buy Memberships™ - Partner Portal (1)

MINNEAPOLIS—May 11, 2023. Today, Best Buy is unveiling a new suite of membership options — My Best Buy Memberships™ — that give customers more freedom to choose a membership that fits their technology needs, budget and lifestyle. One of these options includes a new tier, at a more affordable price, that offers exclusive prices and access to highly anticipated product releases.

Our collection of memberships now includes My Best Buy™, My Best Buy Plus™ and My Best Buy Total™. Each membership tier has a different set of benefits – ranging from members-only pricing and deals, access to exclusive sales and events, 24/7 tech support, product protection, free shipping and more – and at different price points, giving customers the ability to choose an option that best fits the convenience, value, support and protection they’re looking for.

“We’ve learned a tremendous amount from our members over the last couple years, especially that different customers value very different benefits when it comes to their technology,” said Patrick McGinnis, SVP of Memberships at Best Buy. “Creating these new membership options allows us to be there for all of our customers in the ways that are most important to them.”

Best Buy’s existing membership, Best Buy Totaltech™, launched nationwide in 2021 and helped shape the tiered My Best Buy Membership options. Totaltech members engage with Best Buy more frequently, purchase more of their tech at Best Buy and experience considerably higher satisfaction rates, especially for tech support, compared to non-members. Also, members have taken advantage of benefits in noticeably different ways; for example, some of our members use member pricing and product protection more often, while other members more frequently leverage tech support services. And all members cite free shipping as one of the most valuable benefits.

As part of the launch of My Best Buy Memberships™ on June 27, Totaltech will transition to My Best Buy Total™. Current Totaltech members will receive an email in the coming months with more details. Members will be able to transition between the My Best Buy, My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total tiers or cancel their membership at any time if their tech needs change.

Here’s what customers can expect from each tier:
