Best Buy uses its โPrice Match Guaranteeโ to bait-and-switch consumers into purchasing products from its retail stores, a new class action lawsuit alleges.ย
Plaintiff Vincent Dima claims Best Buy is not a โmagnanimous retail seller doing right by its sellersโ but rather simply โtrying to make the proverbial extra buck through specious trade practices.โย
Dima argues Best Buy โmaintains an unstated policy, practice and/or procedure of not honoringโ its price match guarantee when a customer requests it โmatch a specific designated online and/or local competitorโs lower price.โย
โPlaintiff and the class have been damaged by BEST BUYโs policy, practice and/or procedure, and its failure to comply with its own โPrice Match Guaranteeโ regarding its list of designated online and/or local competitors,โ the Best Buy class action states.ย
Dima wants to represent a New York class of Best Buy customers who have been denied the monetary benefits of the companyโs guarantee โinvolving specific designated online and/or local competitorsโ it lists.ย
Best Buy โalteredโ list of competitors covered by price match guarantee when confronted with concerns, class action says
The plaintiff claims that, when he brought his concerns about the price match guarantee to Best Buy, the company simply โaltered its own list of designated online and/or local competitors covered by the โPrice Match Guarantee.โโย
Best Buy is accused of unjust enrichment and of violating New York General Business Law. He is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory and injunctive relief along with an award of statutory damages for himself and all class members.ย
The class action lawsuit comes nearly one year after Best Buy recalled around 635,000 of its Insignia air fryers and air fryer ovens over concerns they could overheat and pose a fire and burn hazard.ย

Please add me
I went in planning to buy an appliance set using the price match, and they wiggled their way out of it selling me something higher priced. I do believe itโs all a sales bait & switch scheme! Ugh!!
This has happened to me many times they would claim that the items are not the same when they were the exact same product.
Please add me
Iโve had these issues also with them โfor failing to give a refund on new products which failed to work as advertised.

bought washer & dryer
I experienced just this at almost every visit to Best Buy
Please add me
This has happened to me more times than I can count. From TVโs and sound systems to printers to Stoves to Alarm systemsโฆ
I could go on and on and each time
I was able to provide documentation of lower prices else where and was dismissed. I have heard every excuse. In all my years of buying from them, they have NEVER given me a price match! Please add me. I am glad someone is finally holding them accountable.
Please add me!!
