Best Buy is apparently giving away FREE gift cards when you buy Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses

A close-up of the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.

I've always been a bit skeptical about smart glasses, which is why I've been waiting for the right Ray-Ban Meta deal to come along and convince me to try out a pair. Fortunately, that day might just be today, as Best Buy is currently giving out $50 gift cards to all customers who pick up a pair of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, regardless of size or color variety. Depending on the model you choose, you may even get the glasses by Christmas. 

As we note in our 4/5-star review, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have been designed to break these types of devices into the mainstream, balancing a classic, discreet design with surprisingly-solid audio quality, a built-in 12MP ultra-wide camera, and up to 32GB of storage. The battery life is a bit lackluster (about 4 hours on a single charge), but if you've been thinking about trying out smart glasses for a while, the Ray-Ban Meta offer a pretty-much-ideal introduction — especially when you get a free $50 gift card out of the deal. 

✅Recommended for: social media influencers or anyone who livestreams on the regular; anyone who's curious about smart glasses; folks who want to listen to music without earbuds or headphones.

❌Skip this deal if: you're sensitive to sun glare; you need lots of battery life with your devices; you avoid Meta products.
