Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

So people are still out here returning bands to Best Buy with fakes. Didn’t even put an M/L in there. I know it’s no one on this forum. They would have the decency to provide all three pieces and not break up the trifold!

Which band did you buy that you received it like that? A friend just ordered a Sunflower SL open box. Hope it’s ok.

I was good on all three Nike, and abyss open box. Capri was the end of my luck. But it’s fate. Band goddess telling me I should get it 40mm for white/gold/sbti. Luckily I’m already going to Apple tomorrow and there’s a Best Buy next door, wanna get my rewards refunded instantly.

I imagine the scam rate is higher on plain sport bands, if BB is even looking inside…

Amazon has some/most (not all) Open Box Watch bands (and lots of other items) on sale for an extra 25% today for Prime Day. I scored Capri and Mallard for $35 each including tax. Now I need to return my other Mallard to Best Buy to get my rewards back lol.

Hmm not showing up for me yet, maybe it was a special deal for those particular open box returns. But I have ten Best Buy bucks waiting for a mallard open box. How clean is it hahaha

edit: oh i see applied at checkout! Woohoo!

Nice! It’s basically brand new but I assume you got one. Also wouldn’t be as good of a deal as you could get.

I also ordered an Apple Pencil for $86.

Yeah I grabbed mallard and predloop4, for 32 and 34 respectively. Now just sunflower, sea salt, olive, and summer goo and I’m complete through s6.

Didn’t work for me :(

edited: Looks like it only works for certain colors like you said. sadly capri wasn’t one of them for me. Cantaloupe is though but it says “used-very good” wondering what their definition of very good is.

Also they still appear to be running the “get $40 in gift cards, get $10 bonus” for prime day, I did it last week and got the credit in a day.

Deal appears to be over. Going to almost-space is expensive! That sucks.

Other listings mention cosmetic damage to the band itself so I would take a shot on Very Good with no qualifiers.

It’s not over, but they’re running out of bands that are apart of the sale. I just ordered a couple more things that were included in the sale but when I went back and looked at the bands most were sold out. All that’s left offhand is the Olive Loop 44mm.

Yeah perhaps it only applies to the new bands
 
Was not planning on grabbing any more bands for a bit but saw this on sale and couldn’t pass it up.. and the color is nice too. Need some brighter shades.
