Best Buy Early Access sale in progress

All apologies but I don’t have my Best Buy account on this laptop, and I cannot remember my password, so I can’t see what’s on sale. But if you are a member of the Best Buy Rewards programs [free to join], and you are logged on to your BB rewards account, they are currently running an Early Access sale. After that, the sale [or whatever is left] will open up to everybody else. Best Buy has been using this online strategy lately.

The more you spend in a year, the higher the reward level you reach, and the earlier you see the offers. If you are a pleb like me, you are at the entry-level reward level so you are the last to see the offers before the general population does.
