Best Buy's Member-Exclusive Sale gives Amazon's spring sale a run for its money: shop the best deals

Surprise, surprise: Best Buy just tossed its hat in the ring to compete with Amazon's Prime Day-like Big Spring Sale. Walmart already joined in on the fun, so it was only a matter of time until Best Buy followed suit.

Best Buy's weekend sale kicked off March 22 and runs through March 24 at 12:59 a.m. ET. Where it differs from Amazon and Walmart, however, is that the savings event is exclusively for paid My Best Buy members. That includes both My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total subscribers — regular My Best Buy members with free accounts are not included.

Not yet a member? The deals in the Member Exclusive Sale might make you want to join — like a sub-$500 75-inch TV, a $500 discount on our favorite Windows laptop, and more.

The good news is you can participate in the member-exclusive savings event by joining My Best Buy. There are two tiers of paid memberships: My Best Buy Plus, which costs $49.99 per year, and My Best Buy Total, which costs $179.99 per year. My Best Buy Plus members get exclusive member pricing, exclusive access to members-only events (like this weekend), and free two-day shipping. My Best Buy Total membership includes all of those things, plus 24/7 Geek Squad tech support, discounted tech repairs, and up to two years of product protection on most new purchases (including AppleCare+).

Already a member? Amazing. We've rounded up the best deals from Best Buy's Member Exclusive Sale below.

Apple deals

Why we like it

It may not be the latest nor the greatest Mac out there, but the M1 iMac is still a reliable home computer with enough power to get you through everyday tasks. The M1 has recently been replaced with the M3 iMac, with a major bump in processing power. However, most casual users won't notice too much of a difference. At under $1,000, paid My Best Buy members can snag the silver model with the 8-core GPU, 8GB RAM, and 512GB storage during the member-exclusive sale. That's a savings of nearly 40% — practically unheard of for any Apple product.

TV deals

Why we like it

If you've been hunting for a massive TV on a budget, check out this deal on a TCL 75-inch S4 4K TV. It's not going to give you the most stunning image quality, but it does offer a 4K Ultra HD resolution, motion rate 120, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. Not to mention, you're getting a 75-inch screen for under $500 — that's practically a steal. My Best Buy Plus and Total members can snag it for $50 off through March 24 during the member-exclusive sale.
