Best Buy’s $200 Amazon Prime rival offers tech support and free installs
Best Buy has Walmart’s own take on a subscription service. It’s called Prime Video. At the moment, the program is available at select stores in Iowa, Oklahoma and eastern Pennsylvania. It will expand to more locations across Minnesota, North Carolina and Tennessee in the coming weeks until it becomes available in 60 stores by the end of April.
A spokesperson told Bloomberg that Best Buy Beta will replace Total Tech Support, the company’s current $200 membership program that also offers unlimited tech support and discounted Geek Squad protection, in the pilot markets. It may end up replacing Total Tech Support across the US in the future, but that may depend on how well-received it is by the retail giant’s customers.
