What is Best Buy's Techtober event?
Techtober at Best Buy began on October 6, 2025, and it is expected to run until Friday, October 12.
It's a site-wide promotion with massive discounts on practically everything that Best Buy sells, and it's designed to compete directly with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days that runs October 7 and 8, 2025.
Why shop at Best Buy?
Best Buy has put a lot of effort into improving its online shopping experience in recent years, and it's one of the best places to shop for tech in 2025.
But the perks of shopping at Best Buy don't end with deep discounts and solid customer support. Best Buy offers three tiers of memberships, starting with My Best Buy.
My Best Buy is free for everyone, and it adds free standard shipping for your purchases.
Moving up to My Best Buy Plus, which costs $49.99 per year, you get free two-day shipping, exclusive member prices, exclusive access to certain deals, and an extended 60-day return window.
And, finally, there's My Best Buy Total that costs $179.99 per year. The Total package includes every perk from the Plus package, and it adds additional protection plans, 24/7 tech support, VIP member support, and discounted repairs.
Are there are exclusive deals for My Best Buy Plus and Total members during Techtober?
Yes, My Best Buy Plus and Total members will receive a $50 certificate in their Best Buy account if they purchase a Windows laptop totaling $499 or more during the Techtober event.
Are other retailers also hosting October sales events?
Aside from Best Buy's Techtober and Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, Walmart and Target are also notably hosting October sales events.
Walmart's event is expected to run from October 7 until October 12, while Target's "Circle Week" event runs from October 5 until October 11.
With Prime Big Deal Days in the rearview, Best Buy’s Techtober sale stands out as one of the few major events still offering deep discounts across categories. Whether you’re upgrading your work laptop, hunting for a gaming rig, or eyeing a new 4K TV, these deals are still live—but only through October 12. If you skipped Amazon’s sale, this is your second chance to save big before Black Friday.
