Pre Order using trade in promotion

If I pre-order the iPhone 6 and use the trade in promotion, how do I use the gift card if it takes about 4 weeks to receive the card and i assume you have to pay for the phone right when you pre-order, yet you don't have the gift card yet?
Also do you wait to send in your phone until the new phone arrives or do you have to find a replacement?

The gift card can be used toward your bill. So when you pre-order, just put the cost of the phone on your bill. When I did the trade-in promotion, they said when my phone was delivered that there would be package material for me to send in my old iphone then I would get my gift card in 4-6 weeks.

  • Pre-order using Reward Certificates question

    Background information:Back on June 25th I pre-ordered Fallout 4 and paid in full for the entire game (not just a down payment).  To pay for the order, I cashed in some Reward Points to make a $40 Reward Certificate and paid the remainder on my credit card.  All good, and I'm set for my Fallout 4 addiction... I think....  Yesterday I got an email from Best Buy reminding me to USE my $40 Reward Certificate before it expires (which is 10 days away).  Does this mean the $40 Reward Certificate has NOT actually been used, and could in fact EXPIRE while waiting for the game to come out, AND that I could show up on release day and find out I had LOST that $40 Reward Certificate, AND have to pay $40 more out of my pocket for the game?   That would make me a VERY unhappy camper....  Looking for verification of how this works, and reassurance that it WILL work now that Best Buy is acting like the Reward Certificate I used is about to expire. Danny

    Hello bullet-worm,
    I can't wait for Fallout 4 to be released!  
    If the My Best Buy certificate was used prior to the expiration date on the pre-order, then it won't expire.  I want to make sure that it was correctly added to the pre-order.  Please send me a private message by clicking the blue box at the end of my signature with the "Customer Service Pin" from you in-store purchase or the BestBuy.com Order Number.  

  • $10 reward certificate with EVERY pre-order using GCU?

    So every single time I pre-order with my GCU I will get a $10 certificate?

    Hey MutantMike,
    It'd be amazing if our Get $10 program worked that way, but alas, it does not -- My Best Buy members must pre-order and purchase an eligible title to receive this bonus. A full list of qualifying titles can be found here:
    Get $10 in Reward Certificates
    The offer is also limited to one bonus certificate per My Best Buy membership per title. For example, if you were to pre-order and purchase two Xbox One copies of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and one PlayStation 4 collector's edition of the same title, you would still only be eligible to receive one $10 pre-order bonus certificate.
    I hope this helps.

  • 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

    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.

  • Clarification (Pre-order)

    I need some clarification on pre-ordering the iPhone 4.
    I am currently on a family plan (2 lines), neither line currently has a data plan. The main line states "Yes, you are eligible based on your current plan." The second line states "Not yet, eligible on 03/13/2011."
    This may have been asked numerous times already but I just need a straightforward answer. Can I pre-order using the eligible line and activate it on the other? Will I be looking at any additional fees for doing this?
    Thank you.

    The Process:
    Order the iPhone 4 on the eligible line.
    When you get the phone, you need to activate it on the line that was eligible, the line you ordered it on.
    Once it's activated on that line you can do whatever you want with it. Keep it on that line, or activate it on any other line.
    Sorry to muddy the waters in this thread where you want a clear answer, but this contradicts what a Verizon customer service rep told me on the phone yesterday.  I was informed that I could order a phone using the eligible line, then activate it on a different line, without ever having to go through the line I ordered it on.  I distinctly asked to have this clarified, as I had heard something like eleedy's response before.  Maybe the guy I talked to was mistaken.

  • Lost pre-order reciept

    Hey so I put down a deposit of $38 for the Elder Scrolls Unlimited Tameriel game the version that cost $100 overall but I lost my receipt. I had paid with a Best-Buy gift card (originally a game Evolution I had returned) which was tossed after the transaction as there was nothing left on it. Is there anyway I can reprint my receipt? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Greetings JasonatUNC,
    Welcome to the Best Buy forum.
    The store should be able to look up your pre-order using your information (name, phone #, email address) or the gift card number if you still have the card.  If a My Best Buy™ account was attached to your pre-order, then the store should also be able to find it using the ID number. I was able to find your pre-order receipt using the email address you registered with the forum and have requested that a copy be emailed to you.  Please keep an eye on your email account over the next couple of hours and remember to double check any spam/junk folders.
    I hope that you have a great afternoon, and thank you for posting!

  • Bloodborne- Online pre-order case damaged

    My pre-order copy of Bloodborne was just received and the case is broken. It looks like when the packaging was opened by the warehouse, the box cutter was put in too deep. The plastic, paper and game case are all cut into.
    For someone who collects and displays game cases, this is disheartening. It leaves a big ugly scar on the display.

    Greetings ShaunRossi, 
    With receiving your pre-ordered copy of Bloodborne, I'm sure you had an expectation of the case's condition upon receiving it, especially as a collector. I am truly sorry to hear that the copy you received may have had a damaged case. 
    Sadly, I wasn't able to locate your pre-order using the information registered with the forum, so I am sending you a private message to gather more info. You may check your private messages once signed into the forum by clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Wii U Online Pre-Order

    Hi,
    I noticed that the Wii U is coming out on a Sunday (11/18), the same day as the Best Buy weekly ad is published.  I was wondering if Best Buy could make sure that online pre-orders receive any possible promotions that the 11/18 weekly ad has (if there is a promotion), since that didn't automatically occur when for existing pre-orders when the 3DS XL came out.
    Thanks!

    Hey ZildjianKX,
    I'm sure our Merchant teams will factor that in but I will also be sure to include that in my weekly feedback for them!

  • Note 4 Pre-order trade-in offer ONLINE??

    I'm having a lot of difficulty with your online ordering. In order to qualify for the $200 Best Buy gift card for the Note 4 it says: *Online pre-orders must choose "Store Pickup" to qualify for trade-in offer. 
    I'm trying to pre-order the Samsung Note 4 sku # 8681453 (Sprint - charcoal version), but it will not let me select "Store pickup" at all. 
    Can someone please help me? I've purchased my last 3 phones from BestBuy, and usually things work very smoothly.
    I need a definitive answer as to how I can go about doing this. I am not able to get to a store to pre-order in person as I travel for work quite a lot, but can make time to pick up on the 17th.

    Hello S4vant,
    That’s a great question! It’s a little hard to make sure you are keeping in line with the promotion guidelines if our website isn’t allowing you to select in-store pickup. After a quick look through of all the different Note 4 phones we have listed and the one you provided, I was able to verify that this particular option is unavailable for some reason.
    While I don’t have answers for you yet, please know that I’m looking into this and hope to have them for you within the next day or two.
    I greatly appreciate your patience,

  • Use upgrade on Galaxy S3 even though it's pre-order

    So my upgrade is July 15th and had been waiting on the S3 to use it on. The new plan effective June 28th apparently makes this not possible? I can get an upgrade early before the 28th since I am in the 30 day window and keep my unlimited data , but is it possible to pre-order the the Galaxy S3 on a early upgrade before the 28th and keep my unlimited? Thanks in advance for any help, I had read in a droid forum that this was possible?

    No, if you try to upgrade through the website before it says your line is eligible, it will only offer full price upgrades.  I called to do it over the phone on 6-6, the first day of the SGSIII preorders.  My upgrade eligibility date as shown in the system and website was 6-8.  Two days.  They couldn't do anything with it.  They even transferred me to some sort of manager who explained that their system was set up to not allow even a manager override to force an early (earlier than shown) upgrade on this particular device.  He offered all sorts of things including a Razr Maxx for $69 and no problem doing it two days early....but to pre-order the SGSIII I had to call back two days later to take care of it. 
    Some people are being led to believe they can simply ask nicely, have a CSR put a note in their account that they really wanted to upgrade before June 28th but couldn't and think when they call back on say July 2nd that this note will somehow allow them to carry over the unlimited data for them.  I have seen the internal Verizon training document that has all sorts of language on how to convince you that giving up unlimited data and moving to a share plan is a good deal.......
    YMMV but they have been very clear in that they aren't allowing UNL data with a subsidized upgrade initiated on or after June 28th

  • Can i use bestbuy 10.00 rewards towards pre order games?

    i know at the store i cant use it towards pre order til i go pick it up and use it there but can i use the 10.00 right way for pre ordering and ship it to the house?

    Hello Tony2k,
    We're always happy to have you pre-ordering your games at Best Buy!  Thanks for being a My Best Buy member.  I can answer your question for you today.
    As you mentioned, pre-orders can't be placed with My Best Buy certificates in-store.  However, if you would like to place an order on BestBuy.com for in-store pickup, then you can submit the certificate as payment ahead of the game's release.
    Certificates traditionally have a 60 day expiration period so it is important that you check that when you receive your email notification of a certificate being issued so you don't let them go unspent.
    Thank you for writing in.  Please let me know if you have additional questions.
    Regards,

  • Will i be able to use my apple gift card on an iPhone 5 pre order?

    I have a gift card for $200 for Apple, I want to know if I pre order the iPhone 5, will I be able to use it at that moment to pay for it?

    Unfortunatly, no. This is becuase in order to prevent fraud and people from buying more than 2 iPhones per customer, they require credit card or debit card, which has customer information by credit card companies. Apple store gift cards, on the other hand, has no customer information in the card, which is essentially the same thing as paying with cash.
    However, credit or debit card policy is in effect for first couple of days, and after the demand dies down, Apple will let you buy iPhone with cash or gift cards, as long as you set up your iCloud account in store (if purchasing iPhone at full price) or setting up your celluar service.
    If, however, you have no credit or debit card with you, then Apple might be willing to grant you a special exception, however, this is only avalible at the Apple Retail Store.
