Reward Certificates on pre-orders

I pre-ordered the halo game thats due out in a few days online and used my $10.00 reward certificate for it. After ordering the game and using the certificate i got an email telling me the certificate is about to expire a few days after the game comes out so i checked my order and it says I didn't use any certificates so is there a way for me to add the certificate on the order now or do i have to make a new order?

Hi deathscythe,
Welcome to the Best Buy forum, and thank you for posting!
I pulled up the pre-order you placed on BestBuy.com for Halo: The Master Chief Collection and it does not appear the $10 certificate was applied. While you should be able to apply a certificate to a pre-order that is placed on BestBuy.com, your current pre-order would need to be cancelled and a new pre-order placed if you want to use the certificate.
I would like to go over your pre-order with you in a bit more detail, 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 little yellow envelope located at the top of the page. The game is not set to be released until 11/11/2014, so we should still have some time if you do want to place a new pre-order.
I hope you have a great day.

Destiny - $10 Reward Certificate for Pre-order and Purchase

So as the title states, according to BB's promotion,anyone that pre-orders the Destiny game and purchases it, gets a $10 reward certificate.
I was one of the lucky few that actually pre-ordered the Destiny Limited Edition and did not have it get cancelled due to limited suppy. Regardless, why doesn't the Destiny Limited Edition have the special offer for the $10 reward certificate for pre-order and purchase? I am hoping this is just an oversite.

Hi JBROWN52,
Congratulations on securing a copy of the Limited Edition of Destiny!
I wanted to jump in and reiterate what enuf has said. The $10 Reward Certificate bonus should be credited to your My Best Buy account within 20 days after you receive your copy of Destiny, whether it be picked up in-store or shipped to you. If for any reason you don’t see the points after this time has elapsed, please create a post letting us know and we’ll be more than happy to help out.
Let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for pre-ordering Destiny at Best Buy.

Does Bloodbourne get $10 in reward certificate for pre order?

Will it get the $10 bonus I cant find a list of eligible games?

Hello ChrisM03,
Bloodborne is one of the first titles this year that I’m absolutely stoked about. I’m very eager for its release and I can understand your curiosity around our Get $10 promotion. Who doesn’t like free Reward Certificates when pre-ordering games?!
Regrettably, Bloodborne isn’t part of this promotion. You can see a list of eligible games for our Get $10 My Best Buy promotion by clicking here. Keep checking back, as games can be added at any time!

Reward Certificates And Pre Order Cancel

Hello. I previously pre ordered Evolve using a 10 dollar reward certificate. I hardly cancel pre orders so this has never happened to me. I was wondering if I canceled it would I lose the 10 dollar reward certifcate? I pre ordered it awhile back so I'm sure it's expired. I plan on ordering another game right away with it and the money I had down on the pre order. I've completely lost interest in Evolve. After seeing the all the future dlc costs I don't care much about this game anymore.

Good morning BrennanP,
Thank you for taking the time to post your question to the forum.
While the $10 certificate you applied to your Evolve pre-order may have expired, the point value ($10 = 500 points) should repost to your My Best Buy™ account 3 to 6 business days after you cancel the pre-order. The certificate would have been considered fulfilled when it was applied to the pre-order, so the expiration date should not come into play.
If for some reason you do not see 500 points repost to your account after 6 business days or if you placed the pre-order on BestBuy.com and want help cancelling it, then please feel free to send me a private message and I will see what I can do to help. You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button in my signature labeled "Private Message."

$10 Rewards for Destiny pre-order and $10 Bestbuy Giftcard with Evil Within pre-order

I have yet to receive either of these. I understand my Destiny purchase still says pending (although I received my $10 rewards for Madden 15 within a week of me picking up purchase). When should I receive the $10 rewards certificate?
Also, I pre-ordered Evil Within months ago and I see now that anyone that pre-orders get a $10 giftcard. Shouldn't I still get this?
If anyone can help and correct this, it would be greatly appreciated. My member # - (removed per forum guidelines)
Thanks!
Brandon

Not a problem!
Whenever a BestBuy.com order is cancelled (or returned), any funds held for that order are automatically refunded to the original form of payment. This process typically takes 2-3 business days for gift cards, while reward certificates are applied back to your My Best Buy account in the same length of time. For debit and credit cards, the exact timeframe required before the funds are available again is dependent on the card's issuing bank.
If you no longer have the original gift card, then we can issue a replacement with the remaining balance. To request a replacement, simply give our gift card support team a call at 1-888-716-7994 or leave us a message in the BestBuy.com board. Additional info on gift cards can also be found here:

Reward Points for pre-order $?

I pre-ordered Sunset Overdrive the day before release and also started a new GCU membership either before or after that transaction. I placed $5 on the game since the 20% discount for GCU wouldn't apply to until pick up so I couldn't accurately pay off the game as part of my pre-order.
Upon picking up my copy I received the $5 off the post 20% discount (and an additional $2.50 came off from an old BB store credit I had). My final for the game itself was $40.46. There were a few other items on the receipt that granted some points toward my next gift card but if you add the total for my entire receipt that was paid out (not uncliding the store credit. Instead of receiving $45.25 worth of points I received just the $40 worth of points and my original pre-order purchase it reflecting zero points earned. Both transactions are reading as Pending still so I'm not sure if that's the problem or what. I'm concerned that if I had paid $40 worth of pre-order and my final pickup out of pocket cost was like $1-2 would I only have received $2 worth of points? If so I'll never spend more than $5 for a pre-order and the victory pre-order $10 credit you want to lure us in with turns out to be $5 only.
Just curious to if the pre-order value (when actual cash and not a trade in or trade credit) will count for points after all the transactions go from pending to final.
Solved!

Hello Laronvas,
Enuf is correct on both counts: it typically takes 15-20 days for points to post, and no points are earned for portions of purchases paid for using gift cards, store credit or reward certificates as payment. For full details though you may want to check out our My Best Buy program FAQ, available here.
Thanks for reserving and purchasing your copy of Sunset Overdrive with us!

Not getting my $10 reward check for pre orders

I don't know what is the deal with this.... I'm sick and tired of having to call the 1800 so they can verified that I had preoder the games in order for them to do it manually. They can't explain why this is happening. I preorder madden and i had to call. I preorder fifa and i had to call ... I preodered NBA 2k15 and it looks like I'm going to have to call ...smh what a pain ...

Hello ohiramine,
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you've encountered with your recent purchases! I'd be frustrated too if I found myself in a similar situation, especially if multiple lengthy phone calls were required to find a resolution in each case.
I've had the chance to review your account and it looks like the reason why you haven't received a pre-order bonus certificate for NBA 2K15 is because you exchanged your initial copy for another format. Since our systems recognize this as a return, this prevents any applicable pre-order bonuses from being issued and points from being awarded. I've sent you some additional information, so please make sure to check your private messages when you can.

Midldle Earth: Shadow of Mordor - Pre-order Bonuses?

Hello!
I recently got off the phone with a Best Buy representative and wanted to confirm what was said is true. I was late on jumping on the order ship for Shadow of Mordor. I was planning on pre-ordering, but was waiting for confirmation on which is the "better" version (PS4 vs Xbox One, resolutiongate continues!). As a result, I didn't "pre-order" and ordered it today.
The phone representative said that any order before the 3rd of October still qualifies for the pre-order bonuses (despite the game coming out on September 30th). Is this true? I'd like to confirm that I'll be receiving the $10 rewards certificate and pre-order bonus code before picking up the game.
I'd confirm it myself, but it appears the My Reward Zone site has changed and you can no longer see pending points.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi beflatline,
Like Kinsella5 mentioned, pre-order bonuses are typically only available to customers who reserve an eligible item prior to its release date and subsequently purchase it. I'm not personally aware of such an extension being offered, so I'd have to say the rep you spoke with was mistaken.
That said, I've sent you some information. Please make sure to check your private messages when you can by signing into the forum and then clicking on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
Thanks for purchasing your copy of Shadow of Mordor with us! I've been thinking of picking it up myself, so hope you're enjoying the game so far.

$10 reward certificate for Shadow of Mordor.

I am hoping that the string of errors that I have encountered does not prevent me from getting the reward certificates that should come with pre-ordering Shadow of Mordor. Let me start my adventure with this....
On August 6th, I preordered Shadow of Mordor, along with two other games, on the same reciept. Now, I wanted Shadow of Mordor for my PS4 and the other two for Xbox One. I didn't pay attention and the checkout person made all 3 of them for the Xbox One. After I noticed I told her about the mistake and she assured me that I can still use it for the PS4 version and that my reward certificates wouldn't be affected. Okay, so I bought into that.
When I went to purchase Shadow of Mordor on September 30th I was assured again that it would be okay. Now, I thought I had nothing to worry about....but as I looked at the reciept yesterday I just noticed that the customer service person never used the pre-order credit towards the game....sigh. I didn't notice at the time because I used some reward certiciates, the gamers club discount, and a gift card. I didn't do the math in my head because I was rushing and just got off work.
Is there anything I can do to get the $10? What happens to my unused pre-order credit now that the game has been released? I don't lose it do I? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi ZombieSpaceLord,
I greatly appreciate multiple games at Best Buy! I do however apologize as it sounds like there may have been a mix up with which versions of each game you wanted. I’m happy to hear that we were able to get you the correct versions upon the release dates! With that said, it’s understandable that you’d be concerned about the $10 Reward Certificate for pre-ordering Shadow of Mordor and I’ll gladly assist here.
I’ve located your final sales receipt using your email address on file for the forums and I’m going to send you a private message with some specifics about your purchase. Make sure you’re logged into your account and click the small envelope on the top right of the screen to view your inbox.
I’ll be reaching out to you shortly!

Never got my $10 pre-order certificate

Hello, I pre-ordered Mortal Kombat X and picked it up on release day (the 14th). But I still haven't gotten my $10 certificate for pre-ordering it, we're going passed 20 days now.

Hello JeanLucAwesome,
I apologize for the delay with your Mortal Kombat X pre-order bonus points. I was able to locate your account and it appears the points were allocated to your My Best Buy account on 1/17/2015 when you placed the pre-order.

In-Store Video Game Pre-order - Should I get email confirmation?

Yesterday I pre-ordered The Witcher 3 for XB1 in store, I have a gamers unlocked account that was used, the cashier said that I should have received an email confiormation of the purchase but I did not, was he incorrect?
Thanks

Hi there Merlin803,
It is regrettable to hear you may have run into a few hiccups at the store while picking up your copy of the game. With that said, it seems the store was able to address the various issues that arose to get you walking out the door with a copy of The Witcher 3.
Typically transactions take 15-20 days to post to one's My Best Buy membership, so it would be after this time frame that you should see the $10 bonus certificate for pre-ordering the game posted. If you should not see it after this time frame, please let us know so that we may take a closer look!
Sincerely,

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.

Missing BestBuy Reward certificate!

Hello,
I recently used 2 of my $5 reward certificates, but during order was in process, I had to cancel the order.
Few days later, I received one of my $5 reward certificate, but I still haven't gotten my another one.
I waited 3-6 business days, but still no news, so I am curious how can I get my another $5 gift certificate back?
Thanks.

Greetings chun02160, and welcome to the Best Buy forum!
I can understand the curiosity and am more than happy to help. It can usually take between 3 and 6 business days for a certificates point value to repost to a member's My Best Buy account following a return or cancellation. I looked over your account history and your order was cancelled on 9/29/2014, so the 6th business day would be 10/7/2014. If you do not see the remaining 250 points repost to your account by the end of the day tomorrow, then please send me a private message and I will make sure they are added. You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button within my signature.

I canceled a pre-order and now my reward certificate isn't showing up?

I pre-ordered Destiny for the Xbox One and canceled my order. I paid partially via credit card and the rest with a $15 reward certificate. It's not showing up on mybestbuy.com now, was my reward certificate voided when I canceled???

Hi plus1zero,
It looks like you cancelled your pre-order today, so you should see the certificates point value ($15 = 750 points) repost to your My Best Buy™ account within 3 to 6 business days. If you do not see those 750 points repost to your account by 9/8/2014, then please send me a private message and I will make sure they are added.
