You get a credit for Netflix. They don't seem to care which plan you have with them.

Just bought one even though I will not use it right away. An amazing value with or without the free 3 months of netflix. Thanks again for the updates to this thread OP.

My local BestBuy had like 25 in a cabinet when I went the other day. There weren't on display but one of the guys knew exactly where they were and grabbed one.

Hmm.. if I did not order online and picked it up instead, do I still get Netflix? I don't see any codes on my receipt.

The link I provided in OP no longer has the Netflix special offer listed, so maybe they ran out of funds for that promo (?)

It was probably a great loss leader for Best Buy to get people looking at their website and into stores, and also promotes Netflix and and Chromecast.

In store I got a code on the receipt and an email a few minutes after check out with the same code.

Where on the receipt? I don't see anything. I clarify, I did not order online for in-store pickup. I went straight to the store to get it.

Me either, I just checked if it was in stock at the local Best buy from the web, I didn't do anything beyond that. I don't have it with me right this second, but it was just on the bottom of the receipt like the little codes for doing their survey. Its very clear on the bottom.
I also had them look up my rewards card. Did you use that? I didn't use points or anything just got credit for buying something.

My wife got one for me on Wednesday and I got emailed the code when she purchased it. Might have been the last day it was available?

I got mine emailed as well.
I'd check the spam folder if someone hasn't received theirs.

I don't have a reward zone card so they didn't have my email address. Could be that I need a reward zone card?

It's in stock again right now at Best Buy, but no Netflix promo code is listed.
