Buying more than 3 games during special ElitePlus Black Friday early access event?

Hi there!
So here's my question.
I'd like to gift a bunch of games to various people and would probably also prefer just shipping it to them since I have expedited shipping as an Elite Plus.
I'm waiting for the early access event that's scheduled on 11/24 Monday to buy some games. A lot of my friends have similar wishlists.
These are my questions.
1. Is it truly "forbidden" to buy more than 3 copies of a single game for one console? Why? What if I want to buy more?
2. I heard that if I were to purchase a 4th or 5th copy of a game, the 20% would still apply, and then I risk getting my account banned. But what if I want to purchase a 4th or 5th game and not use the 20%...Would that be okay?
3. If it is, please show me how to access the Elite Plus event using my MyBestBuy account, and still not have the system use the 20% GCU discount, since it's tied into my account, and if I don't sign in, then I won't be able to access the event at all.
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks.
Solved!

Hello the_J129,
It looks like qualityman13 has things pretty well covered here, but to provide an official answer:
The 20% Gamers' Club Unlocked discount on new video game software is limited to three (3) copies per title per platform. If you wish to purchase more than three copies, then all copies beyond the third must be purchased at their full retail price.
Again, if you wish to purchase more than three copies of any given title, then all copies beyond the third must be purchased at their full retail price.
To access any of our online Elite/Elite Plus events, members must have their My Best Buy membership information tied to their BestBuy.com account. These offers are not available when checking out as a guest. Additionally, once linked, any applicable Elite/Elite Plus and GCU benefits are automatically applied to eligible purchases at the time of checkout.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Elite black friday early Access

    Hi,
    I am wondering if I can bring other people with me to the black friday elite early access? I want to bring someone in with me to double check the quality of some TV's before buying them. Also if said person is allowed in, can they make purchases?
    Thank you

    Good morning irobertyang
    I hope the weather is better where you are than it is here in Minnesota.
    As thymer mentioned, the Black Friday Early Access event for our Elite and Elite Plus members is held only on BestBuy.com.  A member would need to have either Elite or Elite Plus status and have their My Best Buy™ account linked to their BestBuy.com account to participate.
    We have had My Best Buy™ Private Shopping events in the past during the holiday season, which generally does allow for a plus one.  Please periodically check the forum during the holiday season for special offer and event details, as I plan to post them to the forum once they have been made available.
    Thank you for posting to the forum and for being a My Best Buy™ member!

  • How can I buy more than 2 iPhones?

    I want to use 14 of these phones in my company (outside of the US) but I can't find any way to buy more than 2 of them. Help please?

    I basically did what diesel vdub suggested, spammed order after order.
    I managed to buy 6 phones with one credit card before they started sending cancellations due to the fact that too many phones were being ordered from the same AppleID/Credit Card. So we created a couple more IDs and used other credit cards. Managed to buy 4 with a second one and 4 with a third one.
    So no, you can't place 7 orders just like that, but the system won't just block future orders in the spot.
    Thanks for the answers.

  • Buy more than 1 iPhone 3G?

    Hey,
    My uncle bought an iPhone 3G from the Apple Store about 4 months ago with the 2-year-contract of at&t of course.
    Currently, he wants to buy another one. Will he have to buy it with another contract or what? How much will it cost him? Is it possible for one person to buy more than 1 iPhone 3G?
    Thanks ini advance,
    Camille

    You can't purchase an iPhone 3G in the U.S. without having a line for the iPhone along with agreeing to a two year contract with AT&T for the iPhone with activation with AT&T required at the store when the iPhone is purchased.
    Your uncle can purchase another iPhone 3G by adding another line/number to be included with a Family Plan - $9.95/mo for the additional line with shared minutes between the two lines along with the unlimited data plan for the iPhone at $30/mo.
    Or he can get an additional single line, which will be more expensive, but it depends on who he wants to purchase another iPhone 3G for and who will be paying the associated monthly bill for an additional iPhone 3G for the next two years.

  • I *just* want to buy Lightroom, I don't want a "plan".   Surely this must be possible or is adobe just forcing us to buy more than we need?

    Thanks,

    Yes, I think they would like you to by the CC plan.  But you can still get the standalone.
    The Trial Download is here:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom
    This is exactly the same as the paid for version but time limited. I seem to recall that the option to convert the Trial to a Paid for version pops up every time you start it.

    Can I buy more than 25,000 song space in iTunes Match? I am bumping up to the linit and I need  more space.

    How can I select which of my songs are mirrored to the cloud?
    By deleting the extra ones from your iTunes library.
    However, you might want to shop around a bit.

    Amazon Cloud Player Premium costs $24.99 a year and has a limit of 250,000 non-purchased songs.

  • HT5731 Is there a new trick to buying more than one song at a time?

    In the past I've bought more than one song at a time, its nit working though. Is there a new trick?

    If by "in the cloud" you mean iTunes purchased tracks, deleting them from the device will not impact that. You will be able to redownload them later. To clear all tracks from the Music app: Settings app > General > Usage > Manage Storage [under STORAGE] > Music > All songs [swipe to the left] > Delete

  • Triggering workflow more than once during wait hrs

    Dear All,
    We have implemented two Z (ZAPFI_INV, & ZFI_INV_PARK) workflows for FI
    park invoice. ZFI_INV_PARK is the query workflow and ZAPFI_INV is the
    approval workflow.
    Both workflow start with checking whether if image (i.e. FI invoice) is
    attached with the document or not. If the image is not attached, the
    workflow will wait 3 hrs for the image attachment. If the image gets
    attached within 3 hrs, workflow will move further for approval or query
    process.
    But if the same document is "parked" or "save-as-completed" more than
    once within the waiting time frame of 3 hrs, then more than one
    workflow process starts & resulting same WI more than once in the useru2019s inbox.
    Kindy advice.

    Is it possible to put the Validation at Application Level (rather that doing changes in Workflows as they are working correctly)?
    May be you can log the Invoices in ZTABLE when they are parked and Flag them as marked once processing is complete.
    Regards
    Shital

  • Special pricing, black friday

    Does anyone know if the black friday pricing is on top of student discount? Or is it one or the other?

    It says quite clearly here:
    http://store.apple.com/uk
    that " Promotional pricing cannot be combined with any other offers ".

  • How can I buy more than one photo album in iPhoto?

  • Why can't i buy more than one thing at a time?

    I have 20+ items in my Wish List & I can find no way to buy all of them at once...only one at a time.  Since that is a highly irritating way to make my purchases, I have to believe that I am missing something somewhere - is there no shopping cart anywhere?
    Thank you.

    For some reason the 'buy all' button that used to appear on the wish list screen has been removed from the current version of iTunes, so you will need to buy items individually by clicking on their prices. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and mayeb the 'buy all' button will be reinstated in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • HT1296 My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't need it for much more than games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update the Ipod 3.1.3 or is it too old? Thanks!

    My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't use it for anything except games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update this device or is it just too old?
    THanks!

    A first generation iPod touch can't be updated past 3.1.3. If it's a newer model, update it from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.
