Best Buy Membership "discount"

glarf@lemmy.world to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 346 points –

So I was shopping with my wife today and I said "oh let's see if my membership helps out." So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I'm paying for in this membership if the items "original price" is higher for me than it is for regular shoppers?

I know about Best buy and Newegg but what's the deal with monoprice?

Yeah….also curious. It's been a couple of years but when I previously bought stuff from Monoprice it was a smoking deal and I'm pretty certain none of the cables I bought ever failed me.

They were my go to for a long time for good charging cables and dongles. Don't know what happened with them. I do know they got delisted from online shops.
