Gamers Club Unlocked Issues - HELP lol

I bought the X-Box One Bundle the night it came out 11/21/13. I am supposed to get 10% off new games and when trading in games.
I am so frustrated. I spoke with the store manager, they told me to call the reward zone member line. I've called 5 times and have had an open case since March.
No calls no emails, ridiculous. I think I was also entitled to a gift certificate etc.
In all case, the Bundle shows up on my receipt but the Gamers Club Unlocked doesn't.
I have the actual receipt (missing the line item but shows I got the bundle).
How do I get this fixed?
Thanks!

Hello Rhenny,
Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for purchasing your Xbox One from Best Buy! I'll be happy to review your purchase with you.
There was no gift certificate offer with the Unlocked Epic Gaming Bundle, but you would be entitled to 20% off all new game purchases and a 10% bonus value on game trade-ins at your local store with a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked membership.
Based on your explanation of the sale, and confirmed by reviewing the receipt, there was no Unlocked membership sold to you back in November. This being the case, I'm afraid we would not be able to make that change to your account manually. Unlocked memberships can only be sold at stores.
I would like to review this with you further, and I will send you a private message shortly with additional information. To check your messages, while logged into the forum click on the envelope in the upper right corner.

Gamers club unlocked issue

Can somebody help me out? I went to another branch of bestbuy since its closer to my place and not to the branch where i purchased my gcu to resolve my issue. I havent gone to the to the retail store where I purchased the gamers club unlocked membership. I apparently got the wrong membership card since I got the gifting option instead of the subscription.
Last week I tried to trade in my sunset overdrive game but did not get the 10% discount because they said its not in the system. I showed them the receipt and said its weird that i havent gotten it. Its clear to me they dont have any idea how to activate it and even missed the detail that what they gave me was a gifting membership and not the subscription. That is why they cant fix the problem. Also, customer support did something with my membership making it worse, she apparently did an exchange to something I did not receive and now it reflects on your system. I asked a guy in their gaming department to look into my account to see if i was enrolled in the gcu and what he found was i purchased the gifting option and not the membership. Well, its not my fault that they gave me the wrong one.
I hope you can look into my account so next time i go to the retail store theyll know what to do. Thank you.

Hi Ickerson,
While I certainly appreciate you signing up for Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU), I’m very sorry to hear that you may have run into issues with getting it properly attached to your My Best Buy account! This should be a pretty seamless signup experience, so it’s unfortunate to hear that you ran into issues both during your first visit, as well as when you returned to our store. I’m more than happy to review your recent purchases and advise as needed.
I was able to locate your purchase history using your email address on file for the forums and I can see what happened here. You are correct that the GCU gifting option was in fact rang up and not the individual membership. Regrettably, this isn’t something we can assist with on the forums, as GCU can only be signed up for in-store. When you get a chance, you’ll want to return to the store you visited who did the re-ring transaction and have them redo the transaction using the standard GCU membership SKU (3081375). You may wish to bring the physical GCU card up to Customer Service when you visit (there should be a card for the personal membership and one for the gifting option). I would also suggest asking for a manager if needed.
I certainly hope for a much more pleasant and effective experience upon your return. After this is all taken care of in-store, please feel free to reach out to me should you need any further assistance. You can contact me via private message by clicking the link in my signature.

Gamers Club Unlocked - Issues with Activation

After multiple attempts in-store and over the phone and reading many forums with solutions I am stuck with a GCU card and can not get it activated. I've been told it's been activated and on my account but it has not been reflected in the checkout for my faux purchases. I can not view anywhere that says I am at GCU unlocked status but an email dating 1/10/15 says on Gamer's Club on it. Any and all help would be appreciated with this matter. Thank you!

Hello jjones04,
Welcome to the forums and thank you for posting. enuf is correct in stating that you'd have to return to the store to resolve the issues with your account. Unfortunately, if they aren't able to fix your account, then we'll need to exchange the card for the correct card. I'm sorry for the hassle and we are happy to have you in the program. Please make sure that the card doesn't show "Gifting" on it or on your receipt.

Re: Gamers Club Unlocked Not Activated...Help!

MIke, I am having an identical issue. Bought the Gamers Club on 7/10 as part of an online order and activated it in store on 7/28. When I tried ordering online today it is not showing the discount and I also I never recieveed the welcome coupons vis email. After spending WAY too long on the phone with someone and getting nowhere(although he told me that he checked with someone who confirmed it was activated in the system) I came upon this post. Thanks in advance for any assistance. P.S. Why do they mail the card out and make you come in to activate instaed of just adding it to the account when it is purchased online...It's 2015 after all. Mike

Hello Pdiddily,
Thank you for your interest in joining the Gamers Club Unlocked program! I'm really sorry for the hassle you've experienced. I know how I would feel being told one thing and then not getting the benefits I've purchased.
I'd advise you to bring the card back to your local store. They'll need to activate the card and make sure that they process a transaction for a new video game to see the benefits added. If they're unable to attach the membership to your My Best Buy account, then they'll need to exchange the card at the store.
I apologize again for the inconvenience and please keep me in the loop on how it goes at the store.

Issue with Gamers Club Unlocked renewal

I took advantage of a current promotion to get 2 years of Gamers Club Unlocked for free. My receipt shows the GCU unlocked sku and then shows that the price was adjusted to $0.00 automatically.
When looking at my account online, it doesn't reflect the additional 2 years as I already had an active GCU membership. I didn't receive any email as well.
I spoke with a couple of friends that did the same thing and they noted they saw the additional 2 years on their account within minutes. I'm wondering if the transaction at the register wasn't done right?
I see the info on my receipt and on mybestbuy.com page when looking at my transactions.
My GCU membership should expire in 2019 with the additional 2 years that I bought today, but it only shows me 2017 on my profile.
How do I go about getting this resolved so that my account has the right year listed for expiration?

Hello CanisFirebrand,
Thank you for being a Gamers Club Unlocked member. I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed the benefits and are looking forward to extending them.
I am sorry that the date did not properly reflect. I have attempted to update it to reflect the added years, but the system did not properly update. I have forwarded your information so this is corrected. While I don't have an ETA on how long that will take, I am confident we will get that squared away for you.
Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
Regards,

Gamers Club Unlocked Activation Issues... Please check if GCU is active?

Hello there,
I purchased the Gamers Club Unlocked gifting card online for myself back in December... Well it wasn't until today that I was able to drive to the nearest Best Buy (about an hour away) to have it activated. I did not try and purchase a game at the store with the membership, but I did try adding a game to my cart online to see if it worked and it applied the GCU discount within the cart. However, when I go to check out, I keep getting an error. Is there any way someone can check and see if the GCU membership was correctly applied to my account and the day it expires? I am seriously doubting myself and the cashier that activated my card, simply because no one there seemed to know what they were doing. And I really don't have the time and gas money to go back to the store to try again.
Thank you for your time!
Devin

How to get gamers club unlocked discount online

Guys, I cant seem to get the discount online for gcu. it works in store. I messaged two mods but since they may be attending to other messages or forums, I am posting it here. There are some games on sale i want now. Please help. Thanks.

Hello coolestdudeeva,
The Gamers Club Unlocked benefits should work online and at the store. I was able to locate your membership and it appears to be active in our system.
It sounds like bobberuchi is trying to see if the issue is with your My Best Buy log in. I'd like to see if that's the issue as well. Please try logging out of your account and logging back in. If this doesn't resolve the issue, then you may need to clear your browsing history or try a different Internet browser.
If you're still unable to get the bonuses, please send me a private message by clicking the blue box at the end of my signature with your My Best Buy Member ID.

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!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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

Gamers Club Unlocked Deleted, Can't Get Back

For the last 2 or 3 years we have been Best Buy Premier Silver Members. In 2013 we did not spend enough to maintain this; so on March 1, 2014 my membership reduced to the MyBestBuy.
Prior to March 1, 2014 I was using my Gamers Club Unlocked membership I purchased on 10/16/2012. When my Best Buy membership reduced, somehow my Gamers Club Unlocked got deleted.
We called the customer service department after having issues in the store. We got transferred to multiple departments and NONE of them spoke English. After more than an hour, I emailed them while I was still on the phone. I received an email back stating that they would escalate this and it should take 7-10 business days to resolve. Yesterday I received a call and they said they couldn’t find any record of the Gamers Club Unlocked.
In January 2014 I used my membership; I have the receipt (that you can see on my best buy rewards page) and it clearly shows the Gamers Unlocked discount. In addition to that you can see on 10/16/2012 the purchase of the Gamers Unlocked on my rewards page.
How do I get this remedied? It has been more than 2 weeks and all I am getting both on the phone and in email is the run around.
How do I get someone that speaks ENGLISH??????? The language barrier is too much. This has gone from a frustrating issue to an infuriating issue. It doesn’t matter how many times they transfer me I get someone who doesn’t understand me and doesn’t seem to understand what Gamers Club Unlocked even is. They always transfer me to the Digital Downloads department, and because they can’t help me, they transfer me to customer service, who in return transfers me to digital downloads again. Really?????

JMShoemate,
If that's the case, then you would need to provide the following information via private message in order for us to assist you:
The Customer Service PIN from the bottom of the renewal receipt
or
The date you renewed your membership
Where you renewed your membership (city + state or store number)
How you paid for the renewal
A brief description of any other items you may have purchased on the same transaction
An approximate total

Gamers Club Unlocked Not Activated

I purchased a membership online last week and went to my local Best Buy on Sunday to activate my membership. I was told to wait up until 24 hours for it to update online but it has been over 48 hours now and I am still unable to use the discount on any game. Can someone help me with this please?

Hi there fothman22,
Buying and activating a Gamers Club Unlocked membership should be a simple process, and I’m truly sorry to hear you ran into such issues with activation. Typically, this is a situation that must be resolved in store as we don’t have a remote way of activating the Gamers Club Unlocked membership.
Using the information you registered with the forum, I was able to locate the initial order of the Gamers Club Unlocked membership as well as the transaction rang in the store. I was also able to review your My Best Buy membership and see that the Gamers Club Unlocked membership is reflected on our end. Are you still not seeing it on yours?
Sincerely,

Gamers Club Unlocked - Not showing up as activated

I preordered several Disney Infinity items back on 7/21 along with a My Gamers Club Unlocked card. The 20% discount was applied to everything in my order. The card itself came directly to my house a couple of days later. I took the card to my local Best Buy store to have it activated. Like many others on this message board, the cashiers were confused and had to call over a manager. They apparently activated it, but it then charged me $30 again...they processed that as a store discount. The manager basically said she didn't have time to figure it all out so she was just processing it as a store credit. They did ask me for My Best Buy membership information so I figured it was all set. That was on August 1st. I still can't see the card on my online account. I am looking to preorder several other games, but won't until this problem is resolved. I requested help via email and was just directed to call an 800 number. Any help would be appreciated. I saw where several people on this message board had the store ring up a game when the card was activated, but no one did for me in the store. I figured it was working when the discount was applied to my online order. Thanks in advance for the help. rumrunner25

Hello rumrunner25,
There seems to be an issue with the stores process and how it's communicated. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced with getting your Gamers Club Unlocked membership activated.
The stores management team should be able to resolve this issue and I personally apologize for the manager’s behavior. We never want our customers to feel this way.
It does appear that you were given the wrong card. I'd advise you to return to the store and have them attempt to activate it again. Make sure that they add your My Best Buy account information to the transaction and ring-up a new game purchase before leaving the store.
If they're unable to active your current card, then they'll need to exchange it. Please note that the card shouldn't have "Gifting" on it or on your purchase receipt. If it does, then this is the wrong card.
I'm sorry again for all the trouble and please keep me the loop on how it goes. I look forward to hearing from you.

Gamers Club Unlocked $30 Coupon Apparently didn't take affect last month?

I was on the phone with customer service for hours yesterday and could not get a straight answer.
I went to BB on 12/13/13 to purchase 2 - $20 Origin Cards and Renew my BB Gamers Club Unlocked Membership with the coupon for 2 years at $30. I had $10 in rewards Certs as well. I went to the Cashier, saw him scan the coupon, paid for my purchase and left. Realizing, it should have been in more than I paid, I went back to the customer service and asked them to check my account and make sure everything was okay.
Customer Service in Store told me everything was fine, I was showing as a Gamers Unlocked Member, and I would get charged the $30 when my date was up from my original Gamers Unlocked Membership. Well I was going to go in and buy GT6 and my 20% was not being deducted. Then told me that was because I was a Gamers Club Member and not a Gamers Club Unlocked member. I told them what was going on, and they said I could renew my membership at the full $20. If I wanted to be a Gamers Club Unlocked Member.
I am a very loyal BB customer. I have been an Elite Plus member for a year, and a Gamers Club Unlocked Member for a year. I am very upset with this situation as it seems I have missed up on a oppurtunity thanks to a cashier making a mistake.
I still have my original Receipt and Coupon from the date I went in a month ago. What do I do? Do I go talk to the store manager! I really want my Gamers Club Unlocked account re-instated. I am even willing to pay $30 TWICE if I need too.
Please Help.

This issue was had by one person in this thread. I am heading to the store now to see If I can resolve my issue.

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,

Gamers club unlocked welcome coupon

Dear BestBuy customer service,
I got my gamers club unlocked membership on late May 2014 and haven't received welcome coupon yet.
Can you help me to deal with this problem?
Thank you,
Besar

Hi besarwicaksono & dimi_dee1,
Welcome to the My Best Buy Gamers' Club! It typically only takes 2-3 days for welcome packets to arrive via e-mail, so it's surprising to hear that neither of you have received yours by now.
I've sent each of you some information, so please make sure to check your private messages when you can. To check your PMs, simply sign into the forum and then click on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Elite and Gamers Club Unlocked Membership question

Hello,
We recently became Elite members though wasn't looking to join. We were Gamers Club Unlocked Members from darn near day one, but now we cannot see the status of the Gamers Club Unlocked.
Did the Elite replace my Gamers Club Unlocked?
I have 5 maybe 6 games on preorder that i don't want to lose the GCU discount on.
Thanks for the help!!!

Hello jjnanj,
Elite or Elite Plus status is an upgrade on your account based on how much you have spent at Best Buy. Gamers Club Unlocked is a paid subscription that can be added to any My Best Buy account. It sounds like your Gamers Club Unlocked status was probably extended until Feb. 10 and recently expired, and that just happened to coincide with the time when the account was upgraded to Elite. If that is the case, the account holder would have been eligible for a renewal coupon. Please see our post here for instructions on how to request a replacement coupon.
You mentioned we when referring to your account, so I do want to remind you that My Best Buy accounts are for individual use and are not intended to be shared between friends or family. For more information on program rules, please visit the FAQ section at www.my.BestBuy.com.
Thanks,
