Gamers Club Unlocked never showed up on my account

I purchased an Xbox One on 9/10/2014 during the promotion that included 2 years of Gamers Club Unlocked. Like many others, this did not get applied to my account. I received an email on 9/30/2014 with a coupon to redeem for the Unlocked membership. I took this coupon in on 10/12/2014 and gave the coupon to the cashier while purchasing a controller and a game. She processed the coupon during the transaction (or at least scanned it, I didn't note if she followed the instructions on the coupon). I asked about the 20% off for the game and a manager did a price match at customer service.
I then went in on 10/29/2014 to purchase a new game. Before going to checkout, I went to customer service to ask if they could check on my Unlocked status since it never showed up on my online account. The manager assured me that I was a member of Unlocked. I then went to purchase the game and no discount showed up. The cashier voided the transaction and had me go to customerr service to make the purchase. The manager processed the transaction and did a manual price adjustment for the 20%.
This evening I went in to purchase a new game and again went to customer service first to check on my Unlocked status. The customer service rep told me that there was no way that they could check my Unlocked status and was quite confrontational when I noted that someone had checked my status when I was in the previous week. When I asked if someone else might be able to check the status like the other person did she stomped off an waved another rep my way. The new rep also stated that they could not check my Unlocked status, but she did consult with the manager who told her to just do a price adjustment for the game. He told us that they always have to do the adjustment since the Unlocked rarely shows up during a purchase.
Long story, but I need to find out how to get Unlocked attached to my account. I really don't want to have to go through the expalnation and wait at customer service every time I buy a game. I assume that I've also missed out on some 2X points.
Thanks.

Hi rkrlzj,
Thank you for taking the time to sign up for the forum.  You should not have to double check that your Unlocked membership is attached to your My Best Buy™ account every time you decide to make a purchase, so I can understand if you are starting to perhaps feel a bit frustrated.  Let me take a look at your account and see what I can do to help.
The Xbox One console that you purchased on 9/10/2014 was eligible for a free Unlocked membership, which is why you received an email with a coupon for a free membership.  If the store followed the instructions on the coupon, then your Unlocked membership should have appeared in your My Best Buy™ account within about 24 hours.  From everything that I can see, it does not appear an Unlocked membership was attached to your account.
With that being said, I am going to send you a private message so that I can go over your My Best Buy™ account with you and to see what can be done about your Unlocked membership.  You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope at the top of  the page.  As far as missing 2X points, that benefit is included with the basic Gamers Club membership, so it does not appear you are missing any points.
I hope you have a great day and game on!

  • 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 not showing as activated

    On July 21st, I preordered some PS4 games online and also purchased the Gamers Club Unlocked. It applied the 20% discount to my online order with no problem.
    On July 26th, I took the Gamers Club Unlocked card I received in the mail to my local store and also purchased a game. They scanned the bar code under the sticker and rang up my game purchase. The game was 20% off, so I figured the Gamers Club Unlocked membership was activated correctly.
    However, when I go to purchase a game online, I am not getting the 20% off. I looked up my in store purchase from July 26th online and it looks like it should've activated my membership:

  • Gamers Club Unlocked Not Showing Up

    I recently joined GCU but its not showing up under my account. When I got the 'Welcome to the Club' email with some coupons, I noticed that the member id number was different than my normal one I use all of time. Is there any way to fix this?

  • Gamers Club Unlock 20% discount not showing up at checkout

    I have gamers club unlocked. It was activated yesterday in the store, yet whenever I go to purchase a game the 20% is not showing up. I cant even check to see if the GCU is linked to my online account. Hopefully someone can resolve this for me.

    Hello victorsvaliant,
    Welcome to the forum, and congrats on becoming Unlocked!
    I looked over your account using the email address you registered with the forum, and I believe that I can explain why the 20% discount is not reflected in your online shopping cart.  Your BestBuy.com and My Best Buy™ accounts would need to be linked in-order for the discount to apply.  It actually looks like you may have three active My Best Buy™ accounts, which could also be contributing to the issue.
    With that being said, I would suggest that we merge your accounts and then link that primary account to your BestBuy.com account.  That should then allow you to utilize the 20% discount on BestBuy.com.  To gather some additional information and further discuss a merge with you, I will be sending you a private message.  You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the yellow envelope at the top.

  • Signed up for Gamers Club Unlocked on 5/28 and never received Welcome Coupon email packet

    Hello,
    I signed up for the Gamers Club Unlocked on 5/28 and am still waiting to receive my Welcome coupon email packet.  I was told that this takes 2-3 days but have not received anything.  I combed through my spam/junk email filter as well and did not find anything. 

    Greetings johnnysucco, and welcome to the forum!
    It can generally take 1 to 2 business days for the Welcome Packet to arrive via email once a member has become Unlocked.  If it has been more than 2 business days and you have not received the Welcome Packet yet, then I want to make sure the email address that we have one file is accurate.  I am going to send you a private message so that I can go over your My Best Buy™ account with you.  To check your private messages, you would want to login to the forum and click on the envelope icon at the top of the screen.

  • I purchased the gamers club unlocked 2 weeks ago and never received my welcome email and coupons

    Purchased the card at a Best Buy on 7/19, have yet to receive my welcome email or coupons and was very interested in the B2G1.

    Hello Templin886,
    Thanks so much for joining Gamers Club Unlocked.  It's a great program, and I know you'll enjoy the added benefits to your My Best Buy experience.

  • 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.

    Just noticed when trying to pre-order/trade in stuff for NBA 2k15 that my GCU never showed up.  Tried logging into mybestbuy to see my info and my GCU isn't showing up.  I know I had a 2 year one.  Last time I used it for Destiny on Sept. 9th and everything was good. HELP!  

    Hi Skaterpunk444,
    I’m very sorry to hear that there may be some confusion with your Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU) membership! Furthermore, I regret hearing that you came into one of our Best Buy locations under the impression that you’d still receive your GCU benefits, only to find out that your GCU benefits may no longer be active on your account. I’d like to look into this and offer assistance where I can!
    Using your email address on file for the forums, I’ve located your My Best Buy membership information, specifically for GCU. I’m going to send you a private message with more information about the status of your account, so please keep an eye out.

  • 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.
