Ad in partnership with Best Buy — The membership you and your tech deserve.
Technology has become so fundamentally intertwined with our lives that we don’t even stop to think about it anymore. Whether we’re studying, working or enjoying some entertainment in our downtime, chances are we’re using a computer, smartphone, internet-connected television or some other device or gadget.
And as great as all of this innovative gear is, it does come with some headaches and expenses. Devices break down, become obsolete, or require some troubleshooting — the latest and greatest technology doesn’t come cheap — and installing some of today’s smart devices can feel like it requires an engineering degree.
Thankfully, there’s a way to take away all of this hassle and make your tech work for you. With Best Buy’s Totaltech
membership program, you get a cost-effective way to transform your relationship with technology and save yourself serious money in no time.
Benefits of a Totaltech![™]()
Membership
How much are convenience and peace of mind worth to you? For a yearly membership fee of $199.99, you get access to some serious perks:
- Unlimited, 24/7/365 tech support – even for things you didn’t purchase from Best Buy
- Up to 24 months of product protection on most Best Buy purchases, including AppleCare+
- Free two-day shipping
- An expanded 60-day return window
- Free delivery & standard installation
- Free haul-away for old, outdated or broken tech and appliances
- Exclusive member pricing
If the annual fee seems steep to you, consider that you’re likely to more than make that money back over the course of the year – or potentially much sooner. If you buy a big ticket item like a computer or a television, the exclusive member pricing can save you hundreds of dollars on the sticker price; if your expensive laptop mysteriously fails on you, the included product protection could save you a small fortune in repair fees; and if you happen to purchase a large appliance, smart home thermostat or home theater setup, you’ll save once more with free installation.
No matter what 2023 has in store for you, here are some ways a Totaltech Membership can help you (and your tech) take on the year confidently!

Connecting Your Smart Home
Nothing exemplifies the convenience technology can bring to our lives quite like smart homes. In 2023, we have refrigerators that can warn us when we’re running out of milk and smart speakers that will alert us when packages have been delivered. But if you’re just dipping your toes into this new marriage of home and tech, we recommend starting with the basics. A smart thermostat can help you save money on your energy bills and a WiFi-connected doorbell will upgrade your home security and allow you to check in on visitors — even when you’re away.
And luckily for you, a Totaltech membership makes it easier than ever to bring your home into the 21st century.
Google Nest Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats are absolute game changers, saving you big money on your energy bills while also helping to eliminate energy waste and save the environment. Google’s Nest is one of the very best, both beautifully designed and eminently effective. Once installed, you can control it from the touchscreen itself or remotely, via your smartphone or tablet, so you can always monitor or adjust your home’s thermostat, wherever you are.
The Totaltech Advantage: As useful as a smart home thermostat can be, the installation can be tricky or even downright intimidating, depending on how old your home is. Take the headache out of the experience with a Totaltech membership and let Best Buy handle the hard part.
Price: $249.99
Ring Video Doorbell 4
Video doorbells are an affordable way to beef up your security and give you greater peace of mind. The Ring Video Doorbell 4 offers both audio and video integration, allowing you to see and speak to the visitor ringing your doorbell – even when you’re not at home. And with built-in night vision, Alexa support and advanced motion detection, you’ll never be surprised by a guest ever again.
The Totaltech Advantage: As useful as smart homes can be, the actual installation part can be tricky, especially if you’re not accustomed to DIY or home maintenance work. With a Totaltech membership, Best Buy will help every step of the way, streamlining the entire process either via tech support or with their fast, in-person installation.
