01Overview
About the Best Buy affiliate program
Best Buy is the largest consumer electronics retailer in North America, and its catalogue covers essentially every brand a tech creator might mention. That breadth is the reason to use it: when a specific manufacturer has no program, Best Buy usually carries the product anyway.
The terms are genuinely restrictive and should be understood before building content around it. A 1-day cookie is among the shortest in the directory, and the base rate is low, so this program rewards immediate-intent traffic, deal alerts and in-stock notifications, rather than evergreen reviews.
Best Buy has the shortest cookie window of any program in the LinkApprove network, which makes it the clearest example of why creators should read the window before the rate, deal-alert traffic earns here, while evergreen review traffic almost never gets attributed.

06FAQ
Common questions
How much does the Best Buy affiliate program pay?
The Best Buy affiliate program pays 1% per sale (rates vary sharply by department, computing and gaming sit at the low end, while accessories and appliances pay more). Average order value on the program is $210, so commission per conversion is calculated against that basket rather than a single item price.
What is the cookie duration for the Best Buy affiliate program?
The Best Buy program has a 1-day cookie window. A purchase made after that window has closed is not attributed to you, which is why content timing matters on this program.
How do I join the Best Buy affiliate program?
You can join the Best Buy affiliate program through LinkApprove without applying to Best Buy directly. LinkApprove already holds the upstream approval, so once your LinkApprove partner account is approved you can generate tracked links to any Best Buy product page immediately.
Which countries does the Best Buy affiliate program accept?
The Best Buy program accepts traffic from US, CA. Traffic from outside these regions may not be attributed even when the click is tracked, so check your audience geography before committing content to it.

How Best Buy compares in its category
Electronics pays lower percentage commissions than soft goods but compensates with order values in the hundreds. Review, comparison and unboxing content dominates; discount-led traffic performs poorly because most advertisers in this vertical restrict coupon placements.
