Stick of Truth pre order....$20 or $10 reward certificate?

So I have a question, that I would love to have answered as a LONG time elite plus, rewards zone silver, and gamerzone unlocked member.
If you can recall when South Park: Stick of Truth was originally able to be pre ordered it qualified for the $20 back in reward zone certificates.  Since that point the program has changed, been altered, and things have happened.  I did not expect to wait well over a year for the game.  Will people who preordered, kept the gamerzone unlocked, still be allowed to get the $20 certificate or is that out of the question?  
I think that even though the program has changed, that is the last game to ever be offered under that program, and it should be honored.  It was one of my driving factors in pre ordering. 

Hey howellhawk30,
Good question! As long as you were a Gamers Club Unlocked member at the time of the "Victory Can Be Pre-Ordered" offer and you pre-order South Park: the Stick of Truth prior to its release date and purchase it within 7 days of when the game becomes available, you are still eligible for $20 in certificates. For additional information though I'd encourage you to check out our FAQ:

I hope this helps.

    on 1/28 i got an email stating that my pre-order for south park stick of truth on the 360 had been back ordered and that i could choose to cancel if i didn't want to wait an extra week or two to recieve my game.
    on 1/29 i got an email stating that there was an an error and the order was updated and my game would be shipped on release date.
    on 2/3 i got an email stating that the game was on back order again and to cancel if i wished or to do nothing and recieve my game as soon as best buy got more in stock.
    today, 2/4 i recieved another email stating that best buy hadn't recieved any copies of the game yet and my order was cancelled.

  • Stick of Truth Pre-Order In-Store Missing

    So, the Stick of Truth has launched!  I had pre-ordered this game for the PC some time ago, and when I went in on the 4th to pick it up, the store said they hadn't received any PC copies.  Additionally, none of the stores in the whole Illinois area had them.  Two days later, nothing seems to have changed, and no one is able to give me an ETA or anything.  Is there any word on PC pre-orders for this title?

    Hello Alex,
    Thank you pre-ordering from Best Buy!  I'm very sorry to hear you've had trouble retrieving your South Park: The Stick of Truth game for PC.
    I'd be happy to look into this with you, and will send you a message so I can gather more information.  To check your messages, log into the forum and click on the envelope in the upper right corner.

  • Re: south park stick of truth pre-order issues?

    Mine now says backordered as well...yet all local stores say available for pick up today. Is there a problem with the online pre orders?

    Hello Nocturnx99,
    Thank you for ordering your copy of South Park: The Stick of Truth from Best Buy!  Thank you too for being a My Best Buy member.
    I am happy to review your order with you today.  It appears your order has been acknowledged by the warehouse, and should be processed for shipping soon.  I do not have any reason to believe there has been a problem with the pre-order process for these games.  It seems this one was just very recently ordered and there is typically about a day for the processing component of an order.  I would expect you will get a shipping confirmation email soon.
    Thanks again for ordering from Best Buy.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.
    All the best,

  • I canceled a pre-order and now my reward certificat​e 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.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button within my signature.

  • $10 certificat​e for pre-orderi​ng

    Hi I pre-ordered Destiny: Limited Edition, and picked up the game on 9/9.  I was under the impression that this pre-order included a $10 reward certificate.  Was this on my receipt?  How do I get my reward?  I checked my best buy but don't see it on there.
    Thanks!

    Good afternoon Kieffer,
    If you picked up your Destiny pre-order within 7 days of the official release date, then you should qualify for the "Get $10" pre-order offer.  It can generally take 20 days for the bonus certificate/points ($10 = 500 points) to officially post to a member's My Best Buy™ account.  I used the email address you registered with the forum to review your account, and from what I can see, your 500 bonus points have already posted.  You will need to scroll back in your points history to July when the pre-order was originally placed to view those points.
    Let me know if you have any other questions, and thank you for posting to the forum!

  • Re: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition ($10 Pre-order Reward Certificate)

    So I pre ordered when the 10$ reward was available.  Will best buy still honor this or is everyone not gettign the 10$ reward?

    Hello sixthnewkid,
    Thank you for being a My Best Buy member and pre-ordering your games from Best Buy.  We're pleased to have earned your loyalty.
    I'd like to specifically thank you today for pre-ordering the Gears of War Ultimate Edition from us.  I am sorry for any earlier confusion, but I regret that this title is not a part of our "Get $10" offer.  That being the case, there will be no bonus points for anyone who pre-ordered previously.  Any other My Best Buy Gamers Club or Gamers Club Unlocked benefits still apply.
    Sincerely,

  • NOTE 4 Pre-order Incentive

    I believe with this huge fiasco with bestbuy not delivering the NOTE4 with shortage stock, they should give people who pre-orders an incentive.
    Waiving activation sounds like it would be within reasonable bounds.
    Extending this offer out for two weeks seems like Bestbuy got the short end of the stick with stock. Now, they're just giving everyone the regurgitated answer of "Please wait for your email" to cover up the whole fiasco instead of the truth.
    What is everyone else's thoughts?

    Hello slowtrtle/b-dub-
    We do not have any control over product availability for Note 4 pre-orders, as this can be impacted by manufacturer availability or shipping concerns.  A pre-order with Best Buy does not guarantee availability of a product on street date, only that you will have the ability to purchase it before our walk-in customers when inventory is available.  As such, we would not be able to provide any compensation or incentive for pre-orders that have yet to be fulfilled.
    Expedited shipping simply means that we will ship your order to arrive within 2 business days; it does not impact processing time, which can take longer due to product availability.  We would not be able to refund the expedited shipping cost unless the order does not arrive with 2 business days of being shipped.  You can find more information on our Shipping Costs and Timing here.
    To be able to benefit from the Note 4 $200 trade-in offer, you did have to pre-order in-store.  Orders placed through BestBuy.com for shipping or in-store pickup do not qualify for the promotion.
    Thanks for your feedback,

  • Titanfall Collector's Edition Pre-order has disappeared from my account!!

    Hello,
    I recently went in to check on pre orders that will be coming out soon, that I have reserved over the past few months and discovered some errors. There are 2 seperate pre orders that are completely missing from my account that were on it before hand. One was for South Park The Stick of Truth collector's edition(which I did in the Henrietta, NY store), and one for the Titanfall Collector's Edition for Xbox One(at the Greece,NY store). Unfortunately I do not have my receipt for the south park pre-order so I figured you cannot assist me with that one, So I went through and did that one again online. I do however still have my Titanfall receipt, and it is completely missingfrom my rewards account. I also preordered Infamous Second Son the same day as Titanfall and that is still on my account, so I do not understand why the one is missing. I did do a missing rewards point claim on it but no word back on that after 3 days. I can provide order number, and a screenshot upon request.

    Good afternoon oldboy26, and thank you for reaching out to us on the forum,
    From my side, I can see your pre-order for Titanfall, but not South Park: The Stick of Truth.  Being that points are not awarded until a pre-order has shipped or been picked up, it is common for a pre-order to not appear within a member's My Best Buy™ account.  Once the games have officially been released, you should see points post to your account within 20 days.  If you qualify for points and for some reason they do not post within about 20 days, then let us know and we will make sure they are added to your account.
    To ensure your South Park pre-order is still active, please send me a private message with any and all details you may have regarding the pre-order.  Do you remember when you placed the pre-order?  How did you pay for the pre-roder.  Basically, any information you can remember.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button located within my signature.
    I hope you have a great day!

  • Buy Stick of Truth and get South Park seasons 15/16 for $10 each question

    Hello, 
    So i've had South Park Stick of Truth preordered for in store pickup for a few weeks now, and this deal just appeared in the ad this week. When I pickup, will I have an issue since it's not on the same reciept and how do I go about getting this offer without ruining my preorder(and thus losing my $10 reward)?
    Thank You
    Robert

    Hello Robert,
    Thank you for pre-ordering South Park: The Stick of Truth from Best Buy.  It's finally here!  
    As you mentioned, the game and season packs must be on the same order or receipt in order to be eligible for the discount.  In your case I would not recommend cancelling your pre-order to purchase the season packs, as you would lose out on pre-order content  and the cost savings would be offset by losing the Get $10 offer.  If you would like to purchase South Park season 15 or 16 online, you can do so by following the link here.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Cancelled pre-order and walked into AT&T and got phone

    Today, I cancelled my pre-order for my iPhone 4s 64gb AT&T black model.  I was then able to walk into an AT&T store and pick up the exact same model (5 days after the original shipment).
    The number one reason is because I do believe there is a lack of communication and openness about what is going.  I'm an silver reward member and spend a lot of money with best buy but stuff like this makes me want to reconsider where I send my money.
    IMHO, what I think happened is that they had a glitch or something on the 64gb model sku and didn't properly get their order in with Apple.  Which is why they didn't receive ANY.   It doesn't make any sense that AT&T has a surplus of the model and Best Buy had NONE in the exact same city.
    Based upon that, I think they are now going to have to wait for the "second round" of phone shipments and my guess that is 4-6 weeks out.
    I also don't buy they don't know when they will get them.  Actually, they do know (or can find out).  They can call Apple up and say when is my next shipment supposed to be in (just like I'm asking best buy).   Apple (or whoever is the ultimate supplier) would have to be able to supply Best Buy with the info they need to inform their customers.  That's why I think it's the more likely case that they screwed up their order with Apple on the 64gb models and didn't get it in properly (or on time).  Or worse yet, they aren't actively calling Apple up and asking for shipment dates and order dates.

    We are picking ours up from Apple today.  Ours were the 16g white and 32g black, #1 and #2 preorders for Verizon phones.  They supposedly got a shipment yesterday but we didn't get an email once they were scanned. They are not that rare. My guess is they didn't get any for Verizon (just like Sprint).
    I agree with the lack of communication.  I'd wait it our if they told the truth and even through in an extra set of earbuds or something.  Geez, we're silver members too (my husband wanted to get teh points from this sale). Oh well, ,hopefully they will learn from this experience.

  • Is It Possible To Change My Pre-order

    Seems as thought the customer service lines are down and I need to find out how I can go about changing my pre-order. I pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S3 a few days before June 28th so that I could keep my unlimited data plan. When researching the phone I could not find anywhere that said it DEFINITELY had internal storage AND expandable memory via micro SD cards. So I ordered the 16GB version thinking it was a 16GB card and that I could swap in a larger card later. Now I find out that it is both internal memory AND expandable. Had I known this I would have ordered the 32GB version.
    Now that I have the pre-order already placed for the 16GB, how can I go about getting the 32GB?
    I saw someone post about how they tried changing the color of the phone the day after the old plans expired (June 29th) and that they cancelled their order, thus canceling their contract, and losing the unlimited. I don't want that to happen obviously but since I can't call in, and ordered this phone online, what are my options besides going to a storefront?
    Does anyone think this will be possible for me to do? Or should I just stick with it and try returning it for a 32GB within the 14 day return policy?
    I have a strong feeling I won't be able to switch the phones on my pre-order...

    Update: Talked to a local Verizon Rep. and they said I should wait for it to be shipped to me, call customer service, tell them I want to exchange it for the 32GB version, and they will ship it to me in a few days. I cannot open the box of the 16GB version or activate it obviously.
    I thought this phone was going to be sold out, unavailable, hence the pre-orders. Do you guys think I should just do what she said? I wouldn't want to get stuck in that 14-day return policy. But I wonder if that 14-day return policy applies to my phone the day I get it or when it is activated. With my luck I would try to exchange it when its shipped, then there would be no 32GB phones available until after the 14 days.

  • 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.

  • What exactly is the point in pre-ordering albums on iTunes?

    I talk specifically of the new Portishead album, out in two weeks.
    If I pay for it now, I don't get it any sooner. I am guaranteed a copy if I wait, and I don't get any more bonus tracks for paying for it up front.
    So what is the point!?
    Why not just stick a thumbnail up saying "Portishead New Album out in only Two Weeks!"
    I'll probably want a nice CD copy of that anyway...

    But pre-ordering it just makes you want it more. If I got it a day earlier, say, or perhaps something else then I would pre-order it now.
    What they did with James album was a really cool idea, if you buy it before a certain date you get first shot at concert tickets when they come out. Handy thing to have if you are a fan.
    Sadly though the album didn't really grab me on 30 second sample and they are not touring near where I live anyway.
