SAMSUNG 55” 4K TV (UN55MU8000) – SAVE $410 OFF OF BEST BUY’S “SALE” PRICE
|
This week we will show you how to save $410 off of the same TV if purchasing from Best Buy. One big assumption is that you will be able to use a $250 gift card from Dell, so it isn’t all cash savings, but even without factoring in the promo gift card, you can save an additional $160 vs. Best Buy or other major retailers.
Follow these steps:
- Use a credit card that offers a “Price Match” feature (Discover, Chase Visa, AmEx, etc.)
- Purchase this TV from Dell: Samsung 55 Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TV UN55MU8000
- Wait until your purchase shows as a charge on your credit card account
- Use one of those lower quality, sometimes non-authorized TV dealer sites like joesav.com or tvsuperstores.com to get a lower price to match. Screen capture your entire screen including the datestamp on the PC.
- Follow the price matching guidelines your credit card company uses
- Wait about two weeks (normally) and get your price match difference
- Wait about three weeks for Dell to send your promo gift card. It is good for 90 days.
Currently this TV is on sale for $779 at Best Choice AV with an additional $40 in savings at checkout with promo code. You do run a slight risk that these prices will go up, but you normally have up to 90 days to match the price (check with your credit card company to verify) and prices usually fall during that time-span, not increase.
Important:
Verify your credit card company’s price matching policy prior to purchasing. These are reviewed individually after you submit the request and they do get turned down sometimes. I have heard that Chase is good to deal with, but sometimes Discover can be a pain.

If price matching is successful and you end up using the full amount of your Dell promo gift card within 90 days, you will have saved $410 over purchasing this set from Best Buy. Additionally, you can open a Dell Advantage Rewards account and get an additional 3% good towards future purchases (see details on Dell’s Web site, purchases made with eGift cards do not receive rewards points).
