Best Buy "Upgrade and Save" Program Gives You $5 Off Blu-rays for DVD Trade-ins

[TheDickWard]

It's not a massive discount, but if you're upgrading you could do a lot worse.

Hey Dick, I think there may be an error in the front page post at HDD. It's $ 5 off any Blu-Ray $9.99 and up, not $19 and up. The 'terms and conditions' page of the 'Upgrade and Save' program confirm the latter.

Having quite a few DVDs to get rid of (most of them having been upgraded to Blu already) that are worth 25 cents trade in value on Amazon, the upgrade and save program has been great for me. I can always find at least one movie that's on sale for $9.99 or $14.99 that ends up being a great deal after the trade in. This week I picked up five seasons of Supernatural for $14 each after trade in.

Thanks much! Fixed

Can anyone find a list of what titles they accept? I'm not finding much out there.

[MrAngles]

There's no list, they accept all commercially produced non-"adult" titles.

Okay, here is where it gets complicated for me: I moved here from Germany and own "trillions" of legit DVDs that need upgrading - however they are RC2 and mostly with a German cover...I guess I just have to stop by my local BB and try. Will keep you updated.

Well, YMMV, the first time they ran the promotion they tried to tell me they couldn't accept Domino because it was rated R, making it an "adult" film, so it's going to be up to the customer service rep, but people have reported online that they've traded in movies from other regions. They aren't scanning UPCs or anything.

Wow- Best Buy, still training up America's most educated workforce, I see.

Like I said -will try tonight when going shopping. Sure would beat sending them back to Germany

Yeah that wasn't even the least of the problems I had with that first wave of upgrade and save. I think it's been a year now since then though, and the last two times I haven't had any issues, so they're learning.

I thought that was the job of the golden arches...
" I'd like a Big Mac, medium fries and a medium diet coke to go please"
"A big mac...you want fries with that?" "Yes please" *sighs* "Anything to drink?" "A medium diet coke please..." "You said medium coke, right?" "Diet please" "sure" "You want that for here or to go?"...

It's not that great of a discount since most of their Blu-rays are more expensive than Amazon's and Blu-rays are generally overpriced.

For those wondering if they take foreign movies, so far, yes, yes they do.

I returned 3 RC2 flicks this week, on 2 different days @ 2 different Best Buys, and yes, they had no problem accepting them.

The only problem I had was locating all 6 Seasons + the Anime of Supernatural, killer deal @ $13.99.

They have this offer at Best Buy and Future Shop in Canada but they restrict it to certain titles. It would be nice if it was any title. Although Future Shop did offer $10 off select 3D titles with a DVD trade in. And I did get a number of titles for $5, ($9.99 before trade in). It would also be nice if they offered $5 off per movie in a box set. HMV had an offer like that once a few years back. $7 off select blu rays, but it was still only $7 off a box set. I recall trying to convince the guy I should be able to get $21 off the Bond blu ray sets because they were 3 disc sets. Makes sense right? That way I could get $25 off the Superman set or $30 off the Rocky box. Wishful thinking?
