Did not receive gamers club unlocked welcome email and not appearing in account

I just signed up for gamers club unlocked today but didnt receive a welcome email andit doesnt appear to be listed in my account. Could someone confirm if I have it?

Hi mchristy,
I wouldn't worry just yet! It typically takes 2-3 business days for welcome packets to arrive after enrollment, so you may still see yours within the week. Make sure to keep an eye on both your inbox and junk mail folders over the next few days for that communication. Gmail users should also monitor their Promotions folder if they have this option enabled as messages from retailers (including Best Buy) may wind up in this folder, effectively bypassing the primary inbox.
As far as your Gamers' Club Unlocked status is concerned, it looks like you simply need to complete the enrollment process on BestBuy.com to address this issue. Instructions how to do so can be found in the article I've linked below, so I'd encourage you to try them out when you can.

Never Received Gamers Club Unlocked Welcome Coupons

Then when I sent an email to BB support, the response had nothing to do with Gamers Club Unlocked. They ask me the number of my pre-order and to call the digital download department. Huh?
Never got the welcome email and its been over a month!

Gamers Club Unlocked Welcome Coupons

How quick are we supposed to be seeing our welcome coupons from Joining the GCU?
I'm most interested in using the coupons as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Hi BobSmith007,
Good question! It typically takes 2-3 business days from the time of enrollment for Gamers' Club Unlocked welcome packets to arrive by e-mail. If you still haven't seen record of yours within that timeframe, then make sure to double-check your junk mail folders. Gmail users should also check their "Promotions" folder as these types of messages may sometimes not be directed to the primary inbox.
I hope this helps.

Gamers club unlocked welcome coupon packet ?

I signed up for gamers club unlocked on 5/24 but haven't received the coupons yet via mail or email. I was hoping someone might be able to help me with this please

Hi Greellx,
You should have received a Welcome Packet via email within 1 to 2 business days of becoming an Unlocked member. I would strongly encourage you to check your email accounts spam or junk folder because the Welcome Packet has been known to get sorted into those folders from time-to-time. If after checking those folders you still do not have a Welcome Packet, then please send me a private message and I will see what I can do t help. A private message can be sent by clicking on the blue button within my signature.
Thank you for posting to the forum!

Dear BestBuy customer service,

Can you help me to deal with this problem?

Gamers Club Unlocked welcome e mail

I purchased a GCU membership on 11/6 for $30 during the promotion and never received my welcome e mail. I've waited over 2 weeks since I read that it can take that long to process. I wanted to know what to do next.

Hello darkmatter00,
Thanks for signing up for Gamers Club Unlocked! I know you'll love two years of discounts and special offers. The beginning of that is certainly the welcome packet coupons, and I'm sorry to hear they weren't received. I'll be happy to review your account and send you a private message with additional information.

Confused by my Gamers Club Unlocked status

Hey BBY mod crew! I'm pretty impressed by the level of interaction between Best Buy's moderators and customer service staff on these boards - its why I came here with my question!
Last week, I took advantage of the Gamers Club Unlocked $30 sale and picked up a 2 year subscription with my pre-order of GTAV, which was, in my opinion, a pretty sweet deal. However, with the changes I see have been made to the MyBestBuy web portal for Black Friday, I can't tell if my membership has been activated or not, despite it showing up on my receipt and in my purchase history.
I was going to purchase a couple games as gifts and for myself over the weekend, but even with a couple tests on full-priced items, it doesn't appear that the discount is going into effect. Now that I'm reflecting back on the purchase, I'm not even sure that I ever even received a "welcome to GCU" email after my purchase. Can someone please help me understand a) if my GCU subscription is even activated, and B) if so, if I'm shopping online, do the discoutns go into effect in my shopping cart automatically, or at check-out?
Thanks a ton - hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Hello DallasJordan,
Well this is quite the unfortunate circumstance! You come to our forums due to being impressed by the level of interaction here (thanks by the way J) and we don’t get to your post until well after the fact! We try to respond as soon as possible, but the increased volume around the Holidays tends to add an element of difficulty to that. I do however apologize for both the delay in response, as well as the issue at hand with your Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU) signup.
I was able to locate the purchase you speak of using your email address on file for the forums. Regrettably, Shankya is correct here. There are two options when purchasing GCU and one is a gifting option, which is intended to be provided to someone else and will not apply to your own account. Your transaction includes the gifting option and not the normal membership. In this situation, you’ll want to return to the store and Customer Service should be able to assist in ringing the transaction correctly.
First impressions are pretty important to me, so I wish yours was a bit more positive in nature here on the forums. However, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in the future should you need assistance!
Sincerely,
Brian|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Gaming Pre-orders and Gamers Club Unlocked

Everytime I pre-order a game, I'm charged the full price (minus the deposit) when I go to pick it up. I purchased Gamers Club Unlocked last October and should be getting 20% off until October 2016.
The first time I tried to use the promotion on a pre-order was last November (less than a month from purchasing the service). I pre-ordered a game that had the 500 Rewards points promotion for pre-order and purchase. When I went to pick up the game, I was charged in full. I told the associate that I had GCU, so he had to adjust the price manually. I'm not sure about all the math but it deducted points from that 500 point promotion.
The last time I went to pick up a pre-ordered game was 2 days ago; I also had a $5 reward certificate with me. Once again, 20% was not taken off the purchase so the associate asked for help from a few others. After about 15 minutes and a couple voids. They had to treat the pre-order as a normal purchase and refund me the $5 pre-order deposit. That's fine seeing as there really was no pre-order bonus on this particular item.
I'm just asking: do I have to go through this everytime I pre-order a game at Best Buy?

Greetings WN_Orlais,
It is strange that you would have such difficulties with receiving your Gamers Club Unlocked benefits if it is appropriately attached to your My Best Buy membership. Receiving these benefts, especially when pre-ordering games, should be a painless process, and I'm sorry to hear it hasn't been for you.
Using the information registered with the forum, I see that your Gamers Club Unlocked membership appears to be attached appropriately. With having said that, I'm sorry to say I can't speak as to why you have encountered these issues.
I do see that when you originally went to pickup your most recent pre-order, that you did receive the Gamers Club Unlocked discount, and that your My Best Buy certificate was applied. However, this transaction left off your pre-order deposit, which led to the chain of reprocessing the transaction a few times to get it sorted out. I apologize for any hassle that this has caused.
If you continue to experience trouble with pre-ordering, please let us know so that we may look further into this with you!
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Gamers Club Unlocked problems

I purchased Gamers Club Unlocked in December and have had nothing but problems trying to get it activated/registered to my account. I took the Gamers Club Unlocked card into a BestBuy to have it activated 1/29 and was told it was activated and that if their were any problems it could be taken care of by email. I checked my BestBuy account and when I went to checkout it wasn't applying the 20% off or showing up in my account. When I contacted BestBuy by email I was told that the membership wasn't activated correctly by the employee and that it couldn't be taken care of by email as I was told. I was eventually provided with a phone number and was told they would correct the problem. As the employee somehow put the membership under someone elses name/account at the same address I had them call ( as was requested in the BestBuy email ) When she called they didn't know what to do, were very hard to understand, she was transferred 4-5 times, put on hold numerous times, disconnected each time and in the end the problem wasn't taken care of. I really need someone to take care of this as a trip to the store, numerous emails and 5 phone calls is a bit ridiculous just to use something that I paid for. I would really appreciate if this was taken care of.

Good morning mike1942,
It is great to hear that you purchased a Gamers Club Unlocked membership! It can certainly benefit those who do a lot of gaming. From the information you shared, it sounds like you may have purchased a Gifting Gamers Club Unlocked card, which requires a secondary transaction to activate and attach it to a My Best Buy membership.
With that said, we should of course be ensuring these are attached to the appropriate My Best Buy memberships to prevent such issues and hassle. I am truly sorry that this Gamers Club Unlocked membership was not attached appropriately. Fortunately, we should be able to easily correct this.
I am sending you a private message to gather further details in regards to this issue. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum and clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.
