Black Friday price protection guarantees have been incredibly popular in recent years, but they seem to have disappeared from the shelves for 2024. Newegg is still flying the peace of mind flag, though, with its own automatic refund process – but this offer runs out today.
The site’s terms and conditions stipulate that the retailer will automatically refund the difference should a product purchased before November 20 drop in price again before November 30. That covers you for the full Black Friday event, which means you can happily shop early sales with peace of mind that you won’t be undercut when official Black Friday gaming deals land next week.
What’s more, there are actually some pretty strong offers included. Between record-low prices on mid-range gaming laptops and PCs (like the Yeyian Yumi RTX 4060 PC now down to $699.99, was $1,199.99) and a brand new sub-$1,000 price on the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro (now $929.99, was $1,199.99), there’s plenty to investigate on these shelves.
I’ve scrolled through the entire Newegg Black Friday price protection sale, hand picking the best deals of the lot. What does a discount need to do to end up on this list? It needs to sit on a good piece of tech, offer a record-low (or near) price, and be among the cheapest rates on the web. That means there are some deals that aren’t worth it on these shelves, so it’s always worth price checking with other stores. The Asus ROG Ally Z1, for example, is down to $399.99 with Newegg’s price promise, but is available for $349.99 at Best Buy. The peace of mind is nice, but it’s not quite worth $50 and I don’t expect prices to drop further than that on the big day.

How does Newegg’s Black Friday price protection work?
Everything featured above is covered by Newegg’s Black Friday price protection scheme, a guarantee that you’ll always get the store’s biggest discount even if you buy before that price drops again. Any item with the Price Protection flag on it purchased before November 20 comes to an end is covered by the scheme, and there’s no need to watch those numbers over the next week. Newegg will automatically refund you the difference if discounts do increase when Black Friday official gets started around Thanksgiving week (finishing up on November 30). As long as you purchase an included product before November 20, you’re eligible for the scheme.
It should be noted, however, that this price protection only covers you for additional discounts at Newegg. You won’t receive a discount if another store drops the price further.
