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.

Mario party 10 online order missing gamers club unlocked discount

Hello,
I just noticed on my receipt for my Mario Party 10 preorder that my Gamers Club Unlocked discount was not applied.
The discount was applied to the Kirby WiiU preorder and my preorder of The Order:1886 for PS4 from the same order.
How do I get a refund for the discount?
Thanks.

Hello jjnaj,
As our Gamer's Club Unlocked (GCU) membership is typically attached to your My Best Buy account, it'd be odd if your Mario party 10 pre-order didn't receive the GCU discount when the rest of items on the order successfully did. I'm not sure what would be causing the discrepancy you're reporting, so I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
Upon in-depth review of your online pre-order using the information you supplied when registering for the forum, I was able to see that the game in question was correctly discounted the 20% our GCU provides. However, I have sent you a private message to provide you some additional information regarding your order. You may view it by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

I Didn't Get a Gamers Club Unlocked Discount

Hello, I preordered http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-amiibo-figure-toad-multi/3214007.p through the website and didn't get a 20% discount despite having a Gamers Club Unlocked membership. What did I do wrong?
For that matter, I've put several non-preorder video games in my cart and don't see a discount being applied to the price. Is it applied at checkout or is it not possible to get the discount via the website?

Hello Patrick_Dark,
Thanks for being a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member. I'm very sorry to hear that the process hasn't gone quite as expected thus far.
Having two My Best Buy accounts can certainly complicate matters, and I'm happy to hear that you were able to find our information on requesting an account merge. A member of our team will follow up to your merge request.
Best regards,

Gamers club unlocked discount on sales priced games

I went in today to try and buy Wolfenstein on xbox one. it was $40 but with my GCU it should be $32. I was then informed that the discount does not work on sale priced games. Correct me if im wrong but I do believe this is the wrong policy. If it is the wrong policy how can I prevent it from happening in the future? I ended up leaving and ordering it online for store pick up becuase the discount works online.

Hi danritter,
Thanks for your question in regards to the 20% discount you receive on new games with Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU). I’m definitely concerned about the interaction you speak of while visiting our store. We expect our associates to be knowledgeable around the details of our programs such as GCU, and I apologize if you received any misinformation while attempting to purchase the new Wolfenstein.
What everyone in this thread have said is correct. The 20% discount you receive with GCU should apply to all new games, even if Best Buy is running a sale on said games. However, as stated by dragonkid, the discount would not apply if you are price matching another retailer; you'd receive one or the other.
While I’m happy to hear that you were able to receive your GCU discount on Wolfenstein, I do regret that it wasn’t during your first attempt while in our store.
We appreciate the feedback as always, and thanks again for being a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member!

Gamers Club Unlocked discount suddenly not working

So my GCU subscription doesn't expire until 2/11/2016, and up until a few days ago, it was working just fine. Now when I add games to my cart, the discount is nowhere to be found.
Thoughts?

Hey DoverDemon,
Glad to hear it! Let us know if you need any additional assistance.

Gamers Club Unlocked "Rule of 3"

Ive not heard of this "Rule of 3" stipulation until recently. I shop at Best Buy ALOT obviously to make Silver Elite. So needless to say I do my Xmas shopping there as well. How enforced is buying a game of the same name enforced? Also if it is STRICTLY enforced it should be more pronounced and not hidden in the fine print. I was fortunate enough to have a $30 renewal but I would feel terrible for the person that dropped $120 only to get penalized for buying themselves and even gifts from Best Buy. I myself have also bought a game on sale only to have buyers remores at times and return it. Is that still counted towards my '3'?

Hey Darthstryk3r,
Even if a copy of a game is ultimately returned, it does still count towards the maximum number of that particular title that can be purchased in conjunction with the Gamers' Club Unlocked discount.
Thanks for being a member! As always, let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello JuanAndrade,

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 for $30 with $39.99 purchase

I didn't realize this promotion was going on. I picked up COD Adnvaced Warfare last Monday, can I go in with my receipt and still get Gamers Club Unlocked for $30?
Thanks!

Hey again Brandwin,
Both items must appear on the same receipt for the promotional savings to apply, so you would need to return and repurchase your copy in order to qualify for the offer. Since we also don't accept the return of opened media (games, music, movies, PC software), I'd encourage you to speak with the staff at your local store for assistance -- I have confidence they'll be able to help you out.
Thanks for your interest in the My Best Buy Gamers' Club!

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.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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,

Not getting the 20% unlocked discount on new games online

I am unable to get the 20% discount when trying to order this game online. I have the email welcoming me to My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked on 9/10/2014 so I know I have it and it is tied into this email. Any help would be great. Trying to finish off some Christmas shopping.
Thanks
Michael

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 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 Not Showing Up Online

I activated my Gamers Club Unlocked membership in store on Sunday, and now when I try to use it online the discount doesn't show up.
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!

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.
