Gamers Club Unlocked not added to purchase of PS4

I purchased a ps4 last week, preordered destiny, and bought infamous second son. This week I see that infamous is 20 dollars cheaper and now with every ps4 purchase you get gamers club unlocked for free. So as awesome as this is I went into best buy to have them return the purchase and re ring it back up. I got Second son for 40 dollars but then noticed on the reciept when I got home that the gamers club sku was the 3312234 which appears to be the free gamers club. I asked the cashier at the counter and she assured me this was the only option she had to scan. i even looked around the store for a gamers club unlocked card or something to give to her. There was not anything around the registers or anywhere in the gaming department. So I agreed with her that it must have worked. Now that I am home and reading the forums I have a feeling that i have the free account and not the gamers club unlocked like i should have gotten. I really do not want to go back to the store as they will have to return it a third time. Is there any way to rectify this? I have called best buy corporate and been hung up on three times and finally someone gave me the number 18006783643 which is out of service. I want this to apply asap so i can apply to my destiny preorder tomorrow. Thanks.

Hey jeffman1452,
I just wanted to jump in here quick and thank you for purchasing your PS4 at Best Buy! While it’s unfortunate to hear of your initial experience with the free Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU) promotion, I’m very happy to hear that you were able to get it resolved. A little bit of savings certainly doesn’t hurt either!
Using your email address on file for the forums, I’ve located the new receipt for your purchase. I wanted to look into this to determine which store it was that you visited. I’ve documented your concerns here at the Best Buy Corporate Campus and I will be making them visible to the leadership team at that Best Buy location. Our associates should be privy to our current promotions and I apologize as it seems that may not have been the case for you.
Thanks for posting and please let us know if you needed any further assistance!
Cheers,

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.

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 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 Online

I thought all of my stuff was linked properly, but perhaps that's not the case. Any and all help would be appreciated. Let me know what more information you need!
Thanks!

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?

Does gamers club unlocked work on disney infinity characters?

I bought two disney infinity figure for 9.99 each and thought gcu works with infinity figures but it didn't come off the total. The employee told me it doesn't work with infinity figures he thinks. I swear it came off before when I bought some last time. Does it work with disney infinity or not? Thanks in advance.

Hello bamboo313rd,

Gamers Club Unlocked $30 Renewal Coupon??

Good Evening!
Last night while reading one of the gaming forums I often visit, I came across a thread that started at the end of Novemeber 2013, that mentioned that coupons were emailed out to GCU members, or members whose subscriptions recently expired, to get re-subscribed for $30. After reading about it, I fumbled through my inbox and spam folder, and wasn't able to find any such coupon. There were a few other people in that forum thread who didn't recieve a coupon either, and were directed here to the Best Buy Unboxed forums, and were told to leave a message here about it, to see if a coupon could be re-sent. Any input at all would be much appreciated, as I would definitely like to partake in the offer if I'm still able to . That was the first I've heard of it.
Thanks!

Hello Mikeatris,
Thank you for your continued interest in Gamers Club Unlocked. I regret to report that no additional coupons will be issued, as they all expired yesterday. Please watch your registered email address and www.my.BestBuy.com for any future offers or promotions.
At this time Gamers Club Unlocked can only be purchased at a local Best Buy store.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

[Petition] Gamers Club Unlocked 20% off not on digital purchases.

Hi, Matt, Mike, Kyle and all the other awesome BBY people out there helping and making a TRUE difference when it comes to customer service.
Today I wish to bring a concern about the great and awesome 20% off discount included with the new Gamers Club Unlocked membership. As an avid gamer for nearly my whole life from my first visit to the arcade to being impressed by Resogun at 30 years old, gaming is a very important part of my life and the 20% off discount makes it even better.
There is only one gripe I have about it, and I'm sure thousands around the nation feel the same way, and other won't care. But for me, the next generation brings about the proper advent of digital distribution of games. And I love having the convenience of not needing to switch discs between games which especially comes in handy when using the Remote Play feature on the PS4 with the Vita. But the discount only applies to disc based games, not digital.
I know that price adjustments on digital games if sold in store is doable. I recently had Best Buy price match Amazon/Walmart who had Killzone Shadow Fall on sale both digital and retail copies for 48.99 which happens to be the cost for GCU members if we use our 20% off discount. I want to petition for Best Buy to update their policy and allow GCU 20% off discount to be applicable to digital purchases too. This would be an invaluable addition to end the benefit of the 20% GCU discount not applying to gamers such as myself.

Hello Amirnawaz786,
Thank you for writing in, and thank you for being a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member. We appreciate your passion and desire to share your feedback with us.

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.

Gamers Club Unlocked Renewal not Working

I recently renewed my Gamers Club Unlocked and have been trouble getting my additional two years added to my current experation date. I've called best buy multiple times (3-4 times within the past 3 weeks) and have been told to wait 24-72hrs to see changes made. Instead of getting two years added to my experation date I got 2 years subtracted to my date. My orginall expiration date was 2017 and now its listed as 2015 with my renewal it should be 2019. Any one else have any trouble with their renewal processes? So far it seems like I spent $60 dollars for nothing as I'm not getting any changes made to my account.

Hello kittymeow,
Thank you for your continued interest in Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU)! There’s no better time to renew your benefits than when Best Buy puts GCU on promotion and I’m happy to hear you were able to take advantage of our recent GCU pricing. However, I do apologize as it sounds like there may be some confusion around when your benefits should expire and the dates that are currently reflecting in regards to the expiration.
enuf has hit the nail on the head here. Your GCU expiration date reflecting incorrectly is a known issue and our My Best Buy team has been working to resolve this. To further mirror what enuf said, the GCU expiration dates reflecting incorrectly should be resolved well before your benefits would ever expire, so please don’t let it be too much of a cause for concern!
I appreciate you sharing your feedback and with us here on the forums. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Best regards,

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.
I am sorry to hear, though, that you haven't seen a welcome email. These typically arrive at the email linked with your My Best Buy account within 3 business days. I'll be happy to review this and get back in touch with you via private message shortly.

Re: Unlocked Gamers Club discount not being applied online

I have a similar problem i cant use my benefits online and i also pre-ordered and bought mortal kombat x and have not received the $10 certificate yet. I called and they said they mergered my accounts but that was more than a month ago. I dont know what else to do.

Hello dkgoldo,
Thank you for being a member of the Gamers Club Unlocked program and posting on the forums.
I was able to locate your account with the information you've provided to the forums and it appears that your membership is active. The points for your pre-order transaction on 4/14/2015 (Mortal Kombat X) were allocated to your My Best Buy account. It appears you redeemed a certificate on the 4/30/2015 for the points in your account.
I hope this clears up your concerns and please let me know if you have any further questions.

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.
