Pre order $20 certs

So is the pre order $20 certs just non existent anymore? As it was the $10 for best buy members and $10 for gamer club unlocked members. Cus I feel like that was a pretty big reason as to why I got the gamer club unlocked when it was first offered. If they changed it I thinks that's kinda bs to do so in the middle of the membership period. Do it after I renew? Fine, but i signed up being told I would receive $20 for pre orders and I think they need to stick to it. Just my 2 cents.

@rymflaherty
I can no longer kill BB on the cost of GCU b/c of several factors
1- They offered previous members/existing members under the old pricing $30 2 yr re-up coupons. Meaning the customers that supported the old program are still locked in for 2 yrs at $15 per yr.
2- GCU has been on sale for $60 4-5 times this yr & the last sale lasted close to 30 days.
3- They just offered it free with any current gen console purchase on the largest console sale period so far this yr.
4- When broken down $120 over 24 months is $5/month or the same price as a single issue of @gamer magazine. I personally have maintained several monthly issues of @gamer where customers refused to buy the $15 sub instead getting single issues when needed. Then like clockwork after 5-8 months they`ve already paid more than $15 & then decide to pay $15 for the sub.
5- There`s no cap on the 20% where as not every title recieves a $10 or $20 cert. So even at $120 over the course of 2 yrs a customer could never purchase any title with a cert & make out great in savings well above $120. A basic $39.99 sale price drops games to almost 50% off so the Black Friday prices people will stand in line for can be had usually in 3-4 weeks after a game releases.
With BB`s generous TIV`s combined with the GCU 10% bonus any customer can play n trade purchasing on day 1 and only end up paying $15 or less "true cost" per title. I`ve shown people how to take $150-$200 and have the cover your entire 2 yr gaming budget. You`ll have most premier titles on release week others 2-4 weeks after paying basically tax only.

  • Arkham Knight Pre-Order 10 dollar Cert

    Thanks for that update.  I see where it posted now.  I'm not sure why it posted to the deposit transaction rather than the pickup transaction, but I can't complain  Thanks!

    Hello Stickboy46,
    Thanks for pre-ordering your games at Best Buy. I'm happy to review your purchase today.
    Upon review, I'm happy to report that you were awarded the points for the Batman: Arkham Knight "Get $10" promotion.  It actually was credited in conjunction with the in-store purchase.  I'm sorry for the confusion.  Please let us know if you have any other questions at this time.
    Sincerely,

  • Missing Shadow of Mordor pre order certificates

    I am a gamers club unlocked member and pre ordered Shadow of Mordor.  I picked it up on release day but have yet to receive my certs.  What should I do?

    Hello bfowlaaa,
    Thank you for purchasing Shadow of Mordor from Best Buy, and thank you too for being a Gamers Club Unlocked member!  We appreciate your loyalty and I hope we can continue to be your best destination for gaming.
    We have been made aware of a delay in processing that has affected customers who purchased Shadow of Mordor and are eligible for the $10 certificate.  We expect that points will be distributed by the end of this week.  Thank you for your extra patience as this is cleared up.

  • Missing Pre-Order $10 Certificate

    Hello - 
    I recently pre-ordered and purchased Shadows of Mordor, and I don't think my $10 RZ certificate is processing correctly. When I pre-ordered, I selected the XB1 version, but chose to switch to the PS4 version when I picked it up.
    I asked the CS Rep when I picked it up if switching to the PS4 version would void my RZ Cert reward, but he had already canceled out the original pre-order at that point. And then told me I wouldn't qualify for it now due to the way pre-orders are handled. 
    I'm hoping someone can look at my purchase history and see that I preordered the game and purchased it - I just ended up buying it on a different platform - and grant me the $10 RZ Cert. 
    Thanks!

    Hi malistrais,
    The 500 bonus points you can receive by way of the "Get $10" pre-order promotion is a great offer, so I can understand feeling concerned that the last minute change with your Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor pre-order may prevent the bonus points from posting to your My Best Buy™ account.  If your pre-order had to be cancelled because of the change from Xbox One to PS4, then the bonus points may not post to your account because it took place after the game was officially released.
    I would like to go over your My Best Buy™ account with you and the pre-order you placed, so I will be sending you a private message.  To check your private messages, you will want to login to the forum and click on the yellow envelope at the top of the page.
    Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum!

  • 500 Pre-order bonus points for Far Cry 4 not listed or pending

    Hello,
    I'm a Best Buy Elite and GCU member. I pre-ordered Far Cry 4 on November 11th and picked up the game in store on November 18th but the 500 points that im supposed to receive for pre-ordering the game isn't listed on the transaction and there's no points pending.
    I would like to know if anyone can help me solve this issue and if so, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It can take 15-20 days for the $10 cert to post and it may or may not so as pending. Based off your Nov 18th time line if your points are there by Dec 8-9 then bump this thread for assistance.

  • Pre-ordered 4 games, haven't received the $10 reward certificates

    Hello,
    Last month I preordered 4 games (Little Big Planet 3, GTA V, Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age) which were picked up on release (11.18).   All are supposed to come with a $10 gift card, when I picked them up they told me they should be on my rewards account after two weeks.
    I have not received them, were they supposed to issue them to me when I picked the games up?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Bad news first, Little Big Planet 3 and Dragan Age were never part of the $10 pre-order/purchase promo so that`s why you won`t be recieving $10 certs(500 MyBB pts) for either of those titles.
    Far Cry 4 and GTAV are eligble titles and they released on 11/18 so those pts should post in 15-20 days. If they don`t show by Dec. 8-9 then bump this thread for assistance.

  • Pre order bonus $10 bonus

    Hi, I recently pre ordered the game Evolve for PS4 on 2/9/15 which officially release on 2/10/15. I put $5 down instore and my gcu applied and fully paid it off the next day at the store pickup. They didn't ask for my email to get the pre order bonus emailed to me nor was the bonus printed on the receipt. The GCU was applied correctly but they had to grab the game for me since it was not ready for pickup probably because I only deposited $5. So when I paid a total of $45 ($5 already deposited) I noticed that there's no code on the receipt and no pre order bonus listed on my purchase history (2/10/15) I see 0 points pending but it'll probably show up after a few days. Last time I pre ordered, they did a "trade up offer" and asked me my email address and I was able to get the bonus code on the receipt and the $10 cert after a few days. I'd like to know if I can actually return to the store and have them do that "trade up offer" if this purchase didn't count as a pre order. If you can confirm for me that this counts as a pre order and I should be receiving my code and $10 cert soon, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance
    Solved!

    Hi there SomethingNanika, 
    It seems you pre-ordered Evolve just in time! The points from your game as well as the $10 bonus certificate for pre-ordering should appear in your My Best Buy point history in 15-20 business days, as they would with any other purchase. You may check out more information on this $10 bonus certificate here. 
    In regards to your other pre-ordering bonus, it seems you would have qualified for the Monster Expansion Pack. Sadly, after I located your pre-order using the email address registered with the forum, I didn't see this listed on your receipt. I am sending you a private message in regards to this, which you may check by signing into the forum and clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Dragon Age Pre-Order Change / Cancallation

    I ordered Dragon Age: Inquisition a few months ago, but for whatever reason, I chose to have it shipped to my house instead of picked up in-store. I logged back in yesterday to switch it, but the "Make Changes" button wasn't there on my order. So, I re-ordered it, then tried cancelling that item from the old order. It won't cancel. I'm sure I'll pick one copy up in-store, and get a second copy shipped to me, but as much as I'm sure I'll like the game, I just don't need 2 copies of it.
    Also, in my haste, I ordered the Standard edition using some Reward Certificates, then cancelled that order completely (which was successful, strangely), but never got my Reward Certs back.

    Hello omatsei,
    It is always helpful to choose store pickup for pre-ordered games! Not only may you be able to enjoy an exciting midnight release and play your new game all night, but you may not need to wait until business hours to receive your game.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I was able to locate your orders for Dragon Age: Inquisition. After reviewing the orders, I was able to cancel your original order that was set for shipping. Furthermore, after reviewing your My Best Buy™ membership, I see the $10 certificate used on the standard edition of the game was returned to your account after you successfully canceled that order. Typically, certificates may take 3-6 days to be returned to you.
    If you should have any questions or other concerns, please let me know!

  • If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) do I have to pre-order online or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

    If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) can I pre-order online now or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

        scodaddy, that is a wonderful question. We are super excited about the new iPhone. You can always pre-order your new iPhone online and then start the mail in rebate by following this link: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Or you can always go into the store location and do it all in store on the 19th when the phone is launched. That would depend on if the store has them in stock when you go in. I hope that this was able to address your concern.

  • Can you get your money back from canceling a pre-order?

    I recently pre-ordered an album that I no longer want.  I canceled the pre-order but my current balance on my account hasn't changed.  I spent $17 on the album, and want to know if there is any way that I can get that back.
    Thanks,
    Logan

    if you purchase a itunes gift card you will not be able get your money back. unless if it has never been used, such as enetering the bar code then you can probably take it in to the original store where you bought it from with the receipt. 

  • Could I pre-order an iPhone 5 in my local apple store and I have it mailed to my house?

    Is it possible for me to go to my local apple store and pre order an iphone 5 and have it mailed to my home address? If I was to pre order it at the apple store would I have to go through AT&T to buy the phone or could I just buy the phone? Would that change the price too? I plan on getting the 16GB.

    You don't preorder in the Apple Store. You preorder on-line. It will be mailed to your home address. Apple has not yet announced an unlocked iPhone 5 in the U.S. so yes, you would need to select a carrier.

  • IPhone 5S pre-order HELL!!

    Verizon iPhone 5S PRE-ORDER HELL!! - They screwed up and dragged my situation out for 9 days!!  At the end of it all I'm still missing an iPhone 5S.  9/20 @ midnight I ordered TWO iPhone 5S 16GB silver and received a order confirmation for BOTH phones and a confirmed ship by date of 9/24.  NO notification of anything went wrong.  9/22 - I get a shipping notification from Verizon but only one mobile # is listed.  I call Customer Care and rep just quickly and casually confirms that two phones shipped.  9/23 - I get an email saying they couldn't fulfill my order completely and that the remaining order will ship 9/30.  I call Customer Care again to inquire about this and he the rep went out of his way (great guy) to confirm that two phones have shipped and that I have nothing to worry about.  Said the message was generic and was mistakenly sent out.  9/25 - I receive package and find only ONE iphone!!  I called Customer Care again and this time Adam helped me.  After looking through things, he comes back saying he thinks the iPhone was taken out of the box before shipment, stolen!!!  Had me send him all this information and said the Verizon investigation team is on it to "look" for the iphone. I asked if he could put a new order in and just exchange it for the "misplaced" iPhone.  He said it was not necessary because he believes there is a iphone somewhere.  9/27- Adam leaves me a voice mail saying that it was all a misunderstanding and my iphone should ship 9/30 and he'll be on it.  9/29 - I help my wife activate her iPhone because she tried until 3am the night before with no help.  While I'm on with Customer Care again she, Ida, asks how's my phone service in which I explain to her everything.   She looks into it and says she sees no record of any order or tracking for an iPhone.  Further says the reason one iPhone was placed on hold because a discount was applied to two devices and it could only be used for one.  I told her that I've never been notified by Verizon that something went wrong until today.  And this is after calling Customer Care numerous times.  And NOW I find this out.  She says she's going to look into it as there might be a small chance that there is an iPhone for me.  She said she'll call back by 5pm and txted me her email address.   6:00pm comes and no callback.  It also turns out the email address is bogus.  I call Customer Care again and get another rep who looks into it and does a whole bunch more investigation.  Finally she says there never was an order for my iphone and there will be no iphone shipping tomorrow.  My only choice is to place a new order and I won't get it until 10/14!!!  SERIOUSLY!!! ARGGGGGHHHHHHGGHGHHGG!!! Expletives galore!!!  Talked to the manager Brandon and asked if they can do something for me to compensate me for all this crap I went through.  I've been with Verizon for like 15 years.  He kept on saying "I understand ..blah..blah.. BUT there's nothing we can do" over and over again.  So I said Verizon made a mistake, detected this mistake but didn't notify the customer of this mistake, Customer Care couldn't figure it out until today, and that I'm out of luck?  Does he REALLY understand?  If I had known all this I could have walked to a store on 9/20 and gotten a iphone.  Pre-ordering was suppose to be a convenience provided, right? And I waited because I was led to believe that some iPhone existed..  dragged along for a ride only to find out there was no iphone.   And after all this, I get nothing but "I understand....  But there's nothing we can do..."  So yes people Verizon stinks!!! They do not hold themselves accountable for their mistakes and expects the customer to just take it.   I'll have to admit that not all customer service reps are bad (Ty, Adam, and the very last girl who helped me you guys were awesome!!  Ida you could have made this list until you decided not to call me back and gave me a bogus email).  Customer Care is a mixed bag and have not real authority to help you.  Verizon is about to lose yet another loyal customer and his family soon.  There should be some class action lawsuit for all the iphone 5s issues.  Promises/Contracts made but Verizon completely failed to keep.  They just jerk us along for a ride, dangling that ship date that keeps moving around.

    "Customer Care is a mixed bag and have not real authority to help you." I worked for Verizon before it was Verizon, for several years. I think that you are entirely correct in your assessment of customer care. Reps really can't do much at all. I believe that the key function of reps is 1. hand holding and 2. punching bag. The goal is to get the customer believe that they actually DID something, and got some result! After all the talking, the customer starts to believe that something actually happened to resolved the situation. At least they spoke to SOMEONE! Picture this: the rep is on the computer, wearing a headset, and the calls are coming at them non-stop, and you have 3 minutes to convince this person that you actually helped them! But in the end, as you said, nothing happened!  It is the sad truth of cs.
    I am curious to see if the Moderator leaves this post on the board.

  • I have pre-ordered an album and all of the songs are available for download apart from one which is listed as 99p to buy?

    Hello, I hope someone can help me.
    I pre-ordered Justin Timberlake's new album and have tried to download the album today, however for some reason "Suit & Tie" is listed as unpurchased and will charge me 99p to download?
    All the other tracks have downloaded fine apart from this one.
    A couple of things I should mention in case they affect this issue:
    I am trying to download it directly to my iPhone - I have not loaded up iTunes on my PC as of yet.
    I already have the song "Suit & Tie" as a single.
    Will iTunes realise I technically already have the song so charge me less and just give me the remainder of the album?

    We are having this same issue.  We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library.  Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain.  The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase.  Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

  • MSI Big Bang Trinergy Pre-Order questions?

    On this page it says
    http://event.msi.com/mb/bigbang/preorder/
    "All those who pre-order the MSI Big Bang-Trinergy motherboard between Nov 30 and Dec 15 are qualified to receive exclusive gaming bundle. Besides, MSI will protect your new purchase with 8-year Exclusive Warranty! "
    Then when I go here
    http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Special/MSI_BigBangTrinergy_120709.jsp?intpromo=MSI_BigBangTrinergy_120709_HPG
    Which is the USA pre order place it says
    Dec 7 and Dec 21st
    So which is it?
    Also when it says Register for 8 year warranty it says serial number.  How do I know my serial number if I have not received the product yet?  Also when is this thing being released?  I just want to make sure if I pre order I get the 8 year warranty.  I already have the gd80 but I really want this board for the warranty and the extra features.  Thanks guys.

     It seems to me you pre order and then you register it with the serial number after you receive the product to get the 8 year warranty.
    Products have to be registered within 30 days from original date of pre-order purchase to receive our limited 8 years warranty. (Products failed to register within 30 days will still receive standard 3 years warranty).
     A little extra research by you would have come up with this same little tidbit of information.

    Are you logged into her iTunes account using her Apple ID on the iPad? Settings>Store>Apple ID?
    If you are, you could try restarting the iPad and try again, maybe that will reset everything - and maybe it won't. But, if you continue to get the message about contacting support, there may be a red flag that came up somewhere along the line - and the only way to resolve it may be to contact iTunes Support.
