Best Buy now has a membership program that's intended to compete with the likes of other retailer subscription services such as Amazon Prime and Walmart Plus. If you want to know what it's all about, the price and the perks, we've gathered up all the info right here so you can decide whether it's worth it for you.

My Best Buy Memberships are available in three tiers, with prices ranging from free to $179.99 per year. Each tier comes with its own set of perks and benefits, including free shipping, access to exclusive offers, extended returns windows, protection plans for your purchases and 24/7 tech support.

Our full breakdown of the My Best Buy membership program is below, as well as the benefits of signing up ahead of the Best Buy Presidents' Day sale in February.

Next up is My Best Buy Plus, which costs $49.99 per year. At this tier, you get free 2-day shipping on eligible orders, as well as exclusive prices on thousands of items, access to members-only sales, events, and products, and an extended returns window on most items.

My Best Buy and exclusive deals

One of the main perks of Best Buy's new membership program is access to exclusive deals and sales for those on the My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total tiers.

Unlike similar members-only retail events such as Amazon Prime Day, exclusive offers and savings are available to My Best Buy members all year round across laptops, TVs, appliances, video games and more.

You can jump through to view all the Best Buy members-only deals right here to see if there's anything that grabs you now, or if it tempts you to sign up. Just know that these deals change all the time, so might not be available at a later date.

And while offers are available regularly, the retailer also runs limited-time sales for My Best Buy members. These are more similar to the likes of Prime Day and Walmart Plus Weekend with bigger reductions and a greater volume of deals for a much shorter period.

Lastly, you also get early access to the major retail events with your membership and exclusive access to extra savings. That means a headstart and better bargains in the upcoming Presidents' Day sales as well as the all-important Black Friday deals at the end of the year.

What happens to Best Buy Totaltech members?

For those of you that were previously on the retailer's Best Buy Totaltech membership, you should have received an email about the relaunch. It states that from June 27 you should have been automatically moved over to the highest tier in the new membership program until your current renewal date.

If this applies to you but you aren't on the new My Best Buy membership program then it's worth contacting the retailer directly to resolve the issue.
