The feature, which is only available on the Best Buy app, provides a unique opportunity for buyers to bag exclusive deals on electronics, appliances, and more. It provides shoppers access to exciting product releases, limited runs, and launches. The items that are “Dropped” are available in limited quantities. Several of these “Drops” occur every week and they include, health and fitness products, electric power tools, gaming consoles and accessories, toys and collectibles, small appliances, and more.



 

To use Best Buy Drops shoppers need to be registered on the Best Buy mobile app, which is available on iOS and Android. With their Best Buy account shoppers can easily access the deals. Here are the steps to using the Best Buy Drops feature.

Step 3: Access all the information for the upcoming Drops landing within the next week.

Step 4: Set Drop-Alerts or reminders that will be sent to the account holder’s phone shortly before their favorite items drop.

tap the navigation bell to opt-in to Drop Alerts and receive reminders on your phone.



 

Drops Work All Year Long

Best Buy Drops launched six months ago, right before holiday shopping, but it has continued functioning, around the clock through every season. Thus shoppers can get access to exclusive deals all year long and save money. Last week, a record-breaking price cut on Apple's M1 MacBook Air was offered by Best Buy Drops. The product was available for just $649.99 on the app according to AppleInsider.



 

The 'Drops Indicator' Tells Shoppers How Many People Have Bought a Product

Since there are limited quantities available, the Best Drops Feature lets shoppers know how many people have already got the product to estimate their chances of getting it. Shoppers can go for an immediate purchase depending on how popular the product is.

Drops Come Along with Regular Discounts

The Drop offers apply in tandem with the regular discounts offered by Best Buy. This means that if a product already has a discount on it, it may become even cheaper once it Drops. When Best Buy Drops kicked off, Best Buy celebrated the launch by offering the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $729, which was about $70 off the original price as per Tomsguide.

Members Can Save Even More

Members of My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total get further discounts even on the Dropped products. Members can use their privileges to further reduce the price of the Dropped items.
