Bought an Xbox One yesterday, but just found out about an upcoming promotion.

Question

I just found out that this Saturday, Best Buy is going to offer 12 months of Xbox Live with the purchase of an Xbox One: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/global-promotions/holi​day-shopping-event/pcmcat344700050000.c?id=pcmcat3​...
Apparently the promotion is limited in time (from 1pm-4pm), so I'm a little wary about if there will be anything that you could do for me.
I'm assuming it might be possible to go to the store a return my (online) order there, and rebuy it at the store to qualify for the promotion, but because it was an online order, can they resell me the online stock item right then and there? That's assuming I have the console by then since it just shipped out today.
Another problem I had was that I qualified for 10% cashback with my Discover Card by shopping through Shop Discover (5% + 5% Seasonal for all online shopping) - if I were to return it, I wouldn't qualify for that anymore.
The main reason for the card and console being on the same receipt is that if they were on seperate, returns would be an issue. If that's the case, would it be possible to issue me the 12 month XBL code after my return period on my Xbox One is up (2 weeks)? That would seemingly solve my delemia.
The last thing that I forgot to mention was that the console I ordered was the limited edition Sunset Overdrive Bundle - which is in high demand and sold out nearly everywhere. If I didn't order it when I did, I probably wouldn't have gotten it.
I apologize for the lengthy read and complicated situation.

I doubt that will happen as then there would be thousands of people that would want free Xbox live gold cards. I bought 2 Xbox one bundles within the past week (sunset overdrive and asasssins creed) with another one this week. That being said I don't get a Xbox live code for those other 2 and even though I'm buying an additional one this wee/weekend only specific stores are even offering this promo from what I understand. You already saves 10% ($35) plus earned reward zone points ($10 ish?) And you can easily get 12 months of gold for $38-40 anytime. So basically you already get it for free.
Best Buy doesn't have any problem price matching future sales if your purchase is within the return period (they handle thousands of these cases every day already under their price protection guarantee), it's just that this promotion is a bit more complicated as it includes a digital time card. The mods over here really do a fantastic job with making sure the consumer is satsfied, which is why I figured I may as well ask about it. An Xbox One is a big purchase for me, so I just want to make sure that I'm maximizing my savings.
