Best Buy student discounts used to offer aggressive deals on student-friendly tech. However, the program was eliminated and Best Buy student discounts are no longer available. In place of student discounts, the retailer has expanded its My Best Buy membership plans. The plans are divided into three tiers.
My Best Buy is the free tier that offers free shipping (no minimum required). My Best Buy Plus ($49.99 per year) includes access to member only deals and new launches, free 2-day shipping, and an extended 60-day return/exchange window. My Best Buy Total ($179.99 per year) includes all of the above-mentioned perks plus 24/7 Geek Squad support, two years of product protection (AppleCare+) on most new purchases, 20% off repairs, and discounted services (like in-home installations/haul away).
Because it's free, the My Best Buy plan is the best and easiest plan to join. It offers free shipping with no minimum required. That means items you buy from the Best Buy back to school homepage will include free shipping.
