The Black Friday prices at Best Buy for the Apple Watch's are $100 off of the Stainless Steel Apple Watch and $50 off of the Apple Watch Sport.
I am not sure if the Space Black Stainless Steel will be $50 or $100 off.

If you, or if you have a friend that is Elite or Premiere Elite the early access shopping day is today and you may be able to use it.
You have to be a MyBB Elite or higher member for early BF access. I got the email this morning, clicked through to the website and saw the sale prices. I think it's online only though, and store pickup is still not available.
A couple year or two ago I was able to get Best Buy to price match something early to their web site during the early access sale. But it's more of a ymmv and depends on the manager or sales person.
The Space Black Stainless Steel is priced incorrectly on the site but if you add it to your cart its a $100 off as well.
Plus the store coupons are more restrictive than the online movers coupon. I called customer service and they gave me a $50 credit since I am elite plus and could just order it.
Did you originally buy online or in-store? I bought mine in-store a few days ago and I'm wondering if there's a way I could get a price adjustment credit.
I bought mine online for in store pick up a little over a week ago. They had the $50 off and I used the 10% movers online coupon.
I called customer service and they price match the $100 off (see above). If this was truly Black Friday I doubt they would have, but since I could easily return my current watch and rebuy it today they price matched. I do not have a spare movers coupon to test it, but someone should buy one off eBay for $10 and try it. I bet it works.
I'm elite plus. I think that's $3500 a year =|
That is just to get the deals early. On Friday they will be for everyone.
To get early access you have to be Elite which I think is $1500 in a calendar year or elite plus which is 3500 in a calendar year.
I am Elite Plus as well. Even though I probably spend to much on the latest tech I have been lucky and had friends purchase using my rewards account. I have also in the past bought items for friends during the early access sales which has helped me keep Elite status. It also helps that the closest Apple Store is over an hour away.
I'm Elite this year not Elite Plus. Best Buy already shut down the part of their website that tells me how much more I need to spend. I know it's around $700, but I have to call them to be sure. I HATE calling Best Buy customer service.
I bought an open box SS Space Black 42mm. It was $97 off. I had $146 in store credit. $15 in reward zone certificates and $20 Visa checkout gift card. Including tax it was around $400. Almost $300 off. The plastic was still on every part of the watch and charger. It was clearly never used and I verified warranty status with Apple, so all is good.
Now it's time to buy the Red Sport band. I want that to go on sale!

I tried to use the coupon today, 5% off, but it didn't adjust the price. It accepted the coupon but the watch wasn't discounted.
Best Buy their updated updated their the Early Access Black Fridy Watchdeal. Now there are two codes. The code for $50 off a sport model is AWSPORTDEAL and the code for a $100 off the Stainless Steel is AWDEAL. Enter the promotional code during checkout. Happy Shopping.
That works! I can't get the 10% online coupon to work with it though. It will work without the AWSPORTDEAL code, but not combined...damn it
