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,

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.

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.

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 - 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 "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.

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 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 $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.

Didn't receive Gamers Club Unlocked Welcome Package

Hi,
I signed up for the Gamers Club Unlocked program in May and never received a welcome packet. I noticed other posters said it should have arrived within a few days of signing up. Thanks!

Hi Ellisker,
Welcome to the My Best Buy Gamers' Club Unlocked program! Like you may have read, it typically only takes 2-3 business days for welcome packets to arrive by e-mail, so you definitely should have received yours by now.
I've sent 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.

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.

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!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

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!
