Concern over Pre-order $10 Reward Certificate

Hello, I pre-ordered Battlefield Hardline for the Xbox One and picked it up on release day. Well, I saw the drop in the price so I went in to get the price adjusted, but I don't think the lady there helping me really knew how to do it. After about 10 minutes of just standing there, she finally got me the difference back but on the receipt, it says exchange, not price match nor price adjustment, even though I kept the game and everything, she just refunded me the price difference. Well, it's been over 15 days since I got the game and my account shows no points nor reward certificates, so I'm wondering, did she do the process wrong and mess up my pre-order certificate? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

  • Pre-order pickup, reward certificat​e, and payment option questions

    I pre-ordered an item on bestbuy.com for pickup at a local store. When I got there, I asked if I can use my reward certificate and the customer rep said that I couldn't. Is that true? 
    Another person next to her said she could back out the charges and re-enter the item, but when I told her I got it at a special pre-order price (gamers club unlocked price) she said she wouldn't be able to honor it.
    Also, if I bought an item online and picked it up at the store. Can I change my payment method at the register? I asked someone a couple weeks ago and they said they couldn't change payment methods.
    Solved!

    Hi there Mcbutters-
    We appreciate that you choose Best Buy to place your pre-order!  I’m sorry to hear about the confusion you’ve had with this order and some others around how to get that reward certificate added to an order.  Hopefully I can help clear some things up for you.
    To answer your first paragraph, that it technically true.  When you place an order for in-store pickup, you are charged for the order when the store indicates it is ready for pickup.  At that point, the payment method cannot be changed.  However, once the transaction is complete, the store may be able to perform a return and then re-ring the purchase for you.  Keep in mind however, that any funds used from gift cards, reward certificates and your credit card would not be immediately available as in general it takes a few business days for those funds to go back on the cards or accounts.
    This leads me to my next point, which is generally we are unable to modify the payment method beyond changing a credit card on your order beyond 30 minutes after the order has been placed.  While your credit card is not charged until the item ships or the store indicates that it is ready for pickup, the card is generally authorized right away for 3-5 business days.  This is the same time frame we offer for changing shipping or pickup options as well, you can find more information on that here.  Another option would be to do as Batman1982 suggested and cancel your order to then place a new one.  Again, it may take a few business days for funds to return to gift cards, your My Best Buy account, etc.
    However, there should be no reason why they would not have been able to apply the 20% off new games software benefit that you get from being a Gamers Club Unlocked member.
    I hope that this helps, but if you have any further questions, please let me know.

  • Pre-order using Reward Certificates question

    Background information:Back on June 25th I pre-ordered Fallout 4 and paid in full for the entire game (not just a down payment).  To pay for the order, I cashed in some Reward Points to make a $40 Reward Certificate and paid the remainder on my credit card.  All good, and I'm set for my Fallout 4 addiction... I think....  Yesterday I got an email from Best Buy reminding me to USE my $40 Reward Certificate before it expires (which is 10 days away).  Does this mean the $40 Reward Certificate has NOT actually been used, and could in fact EXPIRE while waiting for the game to come out, AND that I could show up on release day and find out I had LOST that $40 Reward Certificate, AND have to pay $40 more out of my pocket for the game?   That would make me a VERY unhappy camper....  Looking for verification of how this works, and reassurance that it WILL work now that Best Buy is acting like the Reward Certificate I used is about to expire. Danny

    Hello bullet-worm,
    I can't wait for Fallout 4 to be released!  
    If the My Best Buy certificate was used prior to the expiration date on the pre-order, then it won't expire.  I want to make sure that it was correctly added to the pre-order.  Please send me a private message by clicking the blue box at the end of my signature with the "Customer Service Pin" from you in-store purchase or the BestBuy.com Order Number.  

  • FIFA 15 Pre-Order - $10 Reward

    I went to go pre-order the game and now a bonus for ultimate team packs pop up. Is this addition to the $10 reward? I didn't see this reward at checkout, I don't play ultimate team and would like the $10 bonus instead....

    Hey escalonadrive,
    No need to worry! Customers who pre-order and purchase a copy of FIFA 15 on BestBuy.com or at their local Best Buy store are eligible to receive both a $10 reward certificate and Ultimate Team code. When placing an order on BestBuy.com, this DLC should be automatically added to your cart during checkout.
    As far as fulfillment is concerned, remember that bonus certificates typically do not post for 20 days after an eligible title has been picked up or shipped. The fulfillment process for pre-order DLC is also dependent on where you reserve your copy. If you reserve your copy of FIFA 15 on BestBuy.com, then a redemption code will be sent by e-mail within 24-48 hours of pickup or shipment. if you pre-order in-store, then the code should be printed on your final sales receipt at the time of pickup.
    I hope this helps!

  • Reward Certificates And Pre Order Cancel

    Hello. I previously pre ordered Evolve using a 10 dollar reward certificate. I hardly cancel pre orders so this has never happened to me. I was wondering if I canceled it would I lose the 10 dollar reward certifcate? I pre ordered it awhile back so I'm sure it's expired. I plan on ordering another game right away with it and the money I had down on the pre order. I've completely lost interest in Evolve. After seeing the all the future dlc costs I don't care much about this game anymore.

    Good morning BrennanP,
    Thank you for taking the time to post your question to the forum.
    While the $10 certificate you applied to your Evolve pre-order may have expired, the point value ($10 = 500 points) should repost to your My Best Buy™ account 3 to 6 business days after you cancel the pre-order.  The certificate would have been considered fulfilled when it was applied to the pre-order, so the expiration date should not come into play.
    If for some reason you do not see 500 points repost to your account after 6 business days or if you placed the pre-order on BestBuy.com and want help cancelling it, then please feel free to send me a private message and I will see what I can do to help.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button in my signature labeled "Private Message."

  • Thief xbox one pre order issue.

    I pre ordered Thief on the 18th and went to purchase it today. I had a reward certificate that I wanted to use, and I planned on adding something to my total transaction to use the certificate. The young lady at the register said that she wasn't able to add the extra item due to the fact that it was a pre order. The certificate was higher than the game by itself and for me to use the certificate she needed to return the pre order and I needed to purchase everything together. Long story short I did not get my preorder dlc because she had to return it. I did purchase the game though. Not sure if someone can look into this situation or not?
    Than you.

    Hello NegroJones,
    Thank you for being a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member, and thank you for pre-ordering at Best Buy.  I am very sorry to hear the store was unable to process your pre-order fulfillment along with your other desired items.  I do not know why the store was unable to do that for you.
    I'll be happy to review your purchase history and see what we can do at this time.  Please watch for a private message from me soon.
    Best regards,

  • Pre-order points missing and pre-ordering problems at the store level.

    Hi
    During the week of July 6th-July 12 there was an ad for pre-ordering certain movies and getting 100 bonus points for each movie.  On July 12th I pre ordered Rio 2, The Amazing Spiderman 2, and Transformers:AOE (Steelbook edition).  The employee was able to successfully pre-order Rio 2 using the provided in store pre order card but had difficultly pre ordering Spiderman 2 and Transformers.  Rio 2 and Spiderman 2 had set release dates while at that time Transformers did NOT have a release date until recently.  These pre-orders were done in three different transactions. 
    Picking up Rio 2 on 7/15 was not a problem.  The employee did an exchange in the system.  The 100 bonus points never posted.
    The Amazing Spiderman 2 had a lot of problems.  The employee thought I already bought it and picked it up on 7/12 when I went to pick it up on 8/19 (the release date).  At the time of the pre order purchase, there was no announcement of the BB exclusive Magno pack for the same price as the regular blu ray release.  Again the employee did a return/rebuy.  This employee also stated that the employee who processed the pre-orders Spiderman and Transformers did it incorrectly since it looks like she did it as a normal transaction instead of a pre-order.  The points have yet to be posted.
    Transformers: AOE (Steelbook edition) now has an official release date of 9/30.  My question is will the system allow for employee to process the pre-order pick up since it is outside of the 45 day window?  I am hoping it won't be but seeing how the employees have been processing pre-orders incorrectly when picking them up I expect problems when doing so. 
    I have also noticed a price drop for transformers (6760435) from the time I pre-ordered it on 7/12.  Will the employees be able to adjust the price and give me the difference?
    Not all stores carry the pre-order cards making this a difficult process for everyone (it takes me on average 30 minutes to pick up 1 pre-order instead of in and out within 5 mins like usual) because someone didn't do it correctly the first time.  So my question is, how should employees process a pre-order if there is NO Pre-Order card in store??  I would love to continue to pre-order at best buy, but am getting tired of having employees screw up my pre-order.

     Hello ITDEFX101,
    Pre-ordering your movies during these 100 My Best Buy™ Bonus Point promotions is a great way to ensure that you are able to get your hands on some great movies as soon as possible after release, while simultaneously earning extra points. It is regrettable to hear that your pre-order experience with Rio 2 and The Amazing Spiderman 2 were not as smooth as we strive for these processes to be, and in the end, you state you didn’t even get the bonus points you expected.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I was able to review your pre-orders for all three movies, as well as your My Best Buy™ account. Sadly, it does appear that there may have been some issues with your pre-orders, and I would like to address these with you privately, especially concerning your pre-order for Transformers: Age of Extinction. I am sending you a private message, which you may view once you’ve signed into the forum and clicked the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Stick of Truth pre order....$20 or $10 reward certificate?

    So I have a question, that I would love to have answered as a LONG time elite plus, rewards zone silver, and gamerzone unlocked member.
    If you can recall when South Park: Stick of Truth was originally able to be pre ordered it qualified for the $20 back in reward zone certificates.  Since that point the program has changed, been altered, and things have happened.  I did not expect to wait well over a year for the game.  Will people who preordered, kept the gamerzone unlocked, still be allowed to get the $20 certificate or is that out of the question?  
    I think that even though the program has changed, that is the last game to ever be offered under that program, and it should be honored.  It was one of my driving factors in pre ordering. 

    Hey howellhawk30,
    Good question! As long as you were a Gamers Club Unlocked member at the time of the "Victory Can Be Pre-Ordered" offer and you pre-order South Park: the Stick of Truth prior to its release date and purchase it within 7 days of when the game becomes available, you are still eligible for $20 in certificates. For additional information though I'd encourage you to check out our FAQ:

  • Reward Certificates on pre-orders

    I pre-ordered the halo game thats due out in a few days online and used my $10.00 reward certificate for it. After ordering the game and using the certificate i got an email telling me the certificate is about to expire a few days after the game comes out so i checked my order and it says I didn't use any certificates so is there a way for me to add the certificate on the order now or do i have to make a new order?

    Hi deathscythe,
    Welcome to the Best Buy forum, and thank you for posting!
    I pulled up the pre-order you placed on BestBuy.com for Halo: The Master Chief Collection and it does not appear the $10 certificate was applied.  While you should be able to apply a certificate to a pre-order that is placed on BestBuy.com, your current pre-order would need to be cancelled and a new pre-order placed if you want to use the certificate.
    I would like to go over your pre-order with you in a bit more detail, so I will be sending you a private message.  To check your private messages, you will want to login to the forum and click on the little yellow envelope located at the top of the page.  The game is not set to be released until 11/11/2014, so we should still have some time if you do want to place a new pre-order.
    I hope you have a great day.

  • Destiny - $10 Reward Certificate for Pre-order and Purchase

    So as the title states, according to BB's promotion,anyone that pre-orders the Destiny game and purchases it, gets a $10 reward certificate. 
    I was one of the lucky few that actually pre-ordered the Destiny Limited Edition and did not have it get cancelled due to limited suppy. Regardless, why doesn't the Destiny Limited Edition have the special offer for the $10 reward certificate for pre-order and purchase? I am hoping this is just an oversite.

    Solved!

    Hi JBROWN52,
    Congratulations on securing a copy of the Limited Edition of Destiny!
    I wanted to jump in and reiterate what enuf has said. The $10 Reward Certificate bonus should be credited to your My Best Buy account within 20 days after you receive your copy of Destiny, whether it be picked up in-store or shipped to you. If for any reason you don’t see the points after this time has elapsed, please create a post letting us know and we’ll be more than happy to help out.
    Let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for pre-ordering Destiny at Best Buy.

  • I canceled a pre-order and now my reward certificat​e isn't showing up?

    I pre-ordered Destiny for the Xbox One and canceled my order. I paid partially via credit card and the rest with a $15 reward certificate. It's not showing up on mybestbuy.com now, was my reward certificate voided when I canceled???

    Hi plus1zero,
    It looks like you cancelled your pre-order today, so you should see the certificates point value ($15 = 750 points) repost to your My Best Buy™ account within 3 to 6 business days.  If you do not see those 750 points repost to your account by 9/8/2014, then please send me a private message and I will make sure they are added.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button within my signature.

  • $10 reward certificate with EVERY pre-order using GCU?

    So every single time I pre-order with my GCU I will get a $10 certificate?

    Hey MutantMike,
    It'd be amazing if our Get $10 program worked that way, but alas, it does not -- My Best Buy members must pre-order and purchase an eligible title to receive this bonus. A full list of qualifying titles can be found here:
    Get $10 in Reward Certificates
    The offer is also limited to one bonus certificate per My Best Buy membership per title. For example, if you were to pre-order and purchase two Xbox One copies of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and one PlayStation 4 collector's edition of the same title, you would still only be eligible to receive one $10 pre-order bonus certificate.
    I hope this helps.

    Will it get the $10 bonus I cant find a list of eligible games?  

    Hello ChrisM03,
    Bloodborne is one of the first titles this year that I’m absolutely stoked about. I’m very eager for its release and I can understand your curiosity around our Get $10 promotion. Who doesn’t like free Reward Certificates when pre-ordering games?!
    Regrettably, Bloodborne isn’t part of this promotion. You can see a list of eligible games for our Get $10 My Best Buy promotion by clicking here. Keep checking back, as games can be added at any time!

  • Pre-ordered 4 games, haven't received the $10 reward certificates

    Hello,
    Last month I preordered 4 games (Little Big Planet 3, GTA V, Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age) which were picked up on release (11.18).   All are supposed to come with a $10 gift card, when I picked them up they told me they should be on my rewards account after two weeks.
    I have not received them, were they supposed to issue them to me when I picked the games up?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Bad news first, Little Big Planet 3 and Dragan Age were never part of the $10 pre-order/purchase promo so that`s why you won`t be recieving $10 certs(500 MyBB pts) for either of those titles.
    Far Cry 4 and GTAV are eligble titles and they released on 11/18 so those pts should post in 15-20 days. If they don`t show by Dec. 8-9 then bump this thread for assistance.
