In an effort to live up to its ambitious name, retailer Best Buy is going head-to-head with Amazon Prime Day with its own summertime promotion. “Black Friday in July” begins on Monday, July 10 and continues through July 12. The retailer promises it will be offering “hundreds of deals on the summer’s latest tech.”
Unlike Prime Day, Black Friday in July does not require a membership to a loyalty program. Anyone can visit a Best Buy store, their website, or their app for deals on computers, TVs, and appliance. But if you do decide to join the any of the company’s three My Best Buy programs, you’ll have access to members-only special offers and deeper discounts on some items.
