Best Buy Holiday Return Policy: Jan. 15 Deadline

Most Best Buy purchases made Oct. 30 through Dec. 31 can be returned through Jan. 15, 2027. Plus and Total members get until Jan. 31, 2027.

Bottom Line

Extended. Best Buy's Extended Holiday Return and Exchange Policy means most purchases made Oct. 30 through Dec. 31 can be returned through Jan. 15, 2027. My Best Buy Plus and Total members get until Jan. 31, 2027. Keep the word most in mind, and read BestBuy.com/Returns, where Best Buy points you for the details. The holiday policy covers exchanges as well as returns. One more holiday rule pairs well with it: under the Holiday Price Match Guarantee, if the price of a product sold by Best Buy drops during the holiday season, Best Buy will match it. Limitations apply, and Marketplace products are excluded.
