Why such a hassle to get our GTAV pre-order bonus money?

I know there have been a couple of threads about this and I know they have been locked but there is no reason to not have one open. Why is it that Best Buy didn't have cards with codes on them in the game's case nor immediately print a code on our receipt like Best Buy normally does? Why should the customer go through the hassle for a pre-order bonus when we already went through the hassle of coming to the store to place a pre-order just to get the bonus? It is an awful lot of hassle to ask of customers to make the first step of coming to the store to pre-order a game, which almost guarantees that our purchase is with Best Buy. Then after we pickup the game we have to jump through more hoops to get what we expected when we pre-ordered with Best Buy in the first place. It is like dealing with the hassle of a rebate but at least there you will get some sort of real money back. This is an issue that Best Buy should handle without the customers having to get involved.

BINGO!!!! This is exactally what I'm talking about. What's disappointing is having the Unlocked membership, but not wanting to take advantage of it because you feel like you are pulling teeth just to get a simple code, that again used to be in the box or on the receipt. If they are worried about people losing it, why not do both, email and print it. Problem solved. Again, they took 1 step forward but 3 YEARS worth of steps back. I hope this is at least addressed before Christmas, actually that bring up an interesting though. What will happen at Christmas. Will the code come with the Gift, or will the person buying the game have to give the cashier the e-mail address of the person receiving the game? Dinda ruins the surprise don't you think?

  • Didn't get Mortal Kombat pre-order bonus

    I preordered MKX for Xbox One online. I picked up the game last night at midnight release and I have gotten my code for preorder bonus. I looked at the receipt and I don see a code on it either.

    Hello, I pre ordered Mortal Kombat X and picked it up at the Palmdale location. However I never received an email and the code to claim my bonus content wasn't printed on the receipt. What do I do now? The pre order bonus was why I pre ordered in the first place.

  • Why was my appraisal amount higher? I finally was able to get through and pre-order my phone..I pressed submit, made me enter everything again.. Now it's $50 lower..

    Why was my appraisal amount higher? I finally was able to get through and pre-order my phone..I pressed submit, made me enter everything again.. Now it's $50 lower.. Now I am only getting $200...

        Ckacz26,
    Oh no! We're so sorry about the confusion here. All Trade In quotes are subject to change at any time. Currently that particular phone is valued at $171.00, and the value is increased to $200.00 if you're participating in the special trade in offer for the iPhone 6 and 6 . It's possible that the value changed during your pre-order interaction, which is what prompted you to re-enter all your info.

  • How do i get back my pre orders on ibooks

    i accidently cancelled my ibooks that i pre ordered since the books werent downloading because i bought the with the ios 6. I want my books back or credit for them. Please help!!!

    If your purchase was recorded on the iBook Store server, you should be able to simply select them from the store and re-download them.  When you "repurchase" them, you'll get a notice from the store that you previously purchased them, and they'll download without charge.  Note that preorders are only charged when the download begins, so preorders lost and not downloaded are null, and not billed to you.

  • Why is the iphone 5 so cheap to pre order?

    i just wanna know why its so cheap?

    A simple search would have revealed that you are not comparing the same thing.
    The US prices quoted are for a device subsidized with a 2yr contract from a carrier.
    The price in China that you've quoted is most likely for outright purchase of the device without a carrier subsidy.
    Apple has yet to announce non-subsidized pricing for the 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.

  • Why can't I cancel online pre-orders?

    I am trying to cancel an online order that I made recently, it is a pre-order for a game that releases in September and for some reason it gives me the option to cancel, but i am not allowed to check mark it. Is there any reason why I am not allowed to cancel a pre-order?  I pre-order things right away just in case I want them but I do end up canceling some of them.  This is the second time now I have had to send an e-mail out to [email protected] to cancel a pre-order. The first time they took care of it the same day and told me sorry for the glitch in the system as everyone is always able to cancel pre-orders.  However, this time it has taken over 2 days and I still haven't received a response.  I also know I am not the only one with the cancellation problem as i have a friend that shops at bestbuy.com and he also can't cancel the same pre-orders.   

    Hey wbaez86,
    Thanks for the update! Glad to hear our e-mail support team was able to help you find a resolution.
    We're looking into why this feature hasn't been appearing for all customers, but don't have any specific details at this time. We'll make sure to update related threads as soon as additional info is available though.

  • Why can't I buy a movie that I pre-ordered, with the iTunes card already redeemed?

    See, I bought an iTunes card the other day and redeemed it that same day. After doing so, I pre-ordered a movie that was expected to be released on the 18th of March(today). So I tried to purchase the movie I pre-ordered with the credit I redeemed from the iTunes card, but it is asking for my billing information. So I clicked on the link where it says "To redeem code, click here", and it asked me to enter a code. My concern is why can't I buy that movie I pre-ordered with I the money I have in my iTunes account?

    You didn't purchase the movie, you pre-ordered it. So the code works to put in the pre-order for the movie. So it's on hold, so to speak. Then when the movie comes out (and only then) are you actually billed, so you have to enter the code again in case you or someone else who has access to your computer used some -- perhaps too much of the credit in the meantime.
    If I use a regular credit card and pre-order something, oftentimes there is some kind of perk or extra included along with it for me in return for pre-ordering. Like an extra feature for example. I don't actually get billed until I actually get the movie and so it's kinda like that.
    Did you lose the code?
    If you did, I'm sorry, but you could call Apple & hopefully they will make things right.

  • Can I Cancel Pre-Order to get an iPhone at AT&T or Apple?

    I know this may sound stupid to some of you. But would it be quicker if I just get an iPhone from a local AT&T or Apple store? Or are they sold out and Back-ordered as well?

    In the chicago area, there are ZERO iphones to be had. ATT stores state they only have enough for their pre-orders, and will be short on that probably. Apple stores state 2 weeks at least to get one without pre order.

  • AE CS4 - why such poor RAM preview on my FAST machine?

    Hi all, I just installed After Effects CS4 - I have a smokin fast mchine: quadcore Zeon 3.20 GHz, hyperthreading turned on, nvidia quadrofx 3800 with current driver, 12 GB DDR3 RAM, windows 7 64bit ... can you PLEASE help me troubleshoot a problem:  even on the simplest compositions, a moving picture or a moving piece of type, the RAM preview stutters along, the current time indicator hops along at a choppy pace, images in the frame dont look like they're moving smoothly, and all i get is about 6 seconds of RAM preview ... seems to me that I used to get better performance on a MUCH MUCH  slower machine under windows XP ... i have looked around the forums and seem the advice on multiprocessor options and the like, but nothing I do seems to help ... do any of you have any advice for me to improve my performance???  if you have any questions about my setup or preferences, let me know, I will be on this until I get what I expect out of my (otherwise incredibly fast) machine

    Hi Todd, thanks again for your reply ... FYI, I bought the FX3800 for Avid editing, for which it is the qualified video card, and supports distributed processing in the Avid along with my DX HD hardware BOB - I had hoped it would work well with After Effects, too, but I do understand the Adobe is very transparent about the fact that, as long as your card has OpenGL support, probably best to sink your $$$ into more RAM or faster CPU .. but to stay on topic, I am just  very stunned that I am not getting better playback with my system ... I have the most recent Nvidia drivers ... I have 2 NEC 2490WUXi2 each connected through DVI-D to my video card, each runnign at its native 1920x1200 res, 59 hertz ... the programs I have installed are Adobe CS4 Production Premium, Win7 64bit, MS Office 2007 Enterprise, latest version of Quick Time, Media Player version 11, and NERO 9 ... you dont think that one of these video player apps (like media player or QT) are messing with my screen performance do you?  what about Nero 9, have you heard any compatibility or display problems associated with this app?  would unistalling any of these programs be a troubleshooting technique that you'd attempt?
    Finally, when you say "an issue with a bottleneck of drawing to the screen" what do you mean exactly? 'cause this kinds sounds like a goood description of what I am seeing ... what might be the cause of such a bottleneck, I am willing to try anything ...
    Thanks, sir, for your reply!

    Subject: AE CS4 - why such poor RAM preview on my FAST machine?
    Just one thing to cut down a frequent misconception:
    Your nice graphics card doesn't do much for After Effects performance.In fact, trying to use OpenGL for rendering (including rendering of previews) can cause problems.
    I recommend turning OpenGL rendering off for all but interactions. I.e., choose the http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WSAF696587-2D81-42e2-B248-4C5C2B7D3614a.html and turn off http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79e8a.htm l. OpenGL is not compatible with Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing.
    I'm not saying that OpenGL is your problem. Rather, because you mentioned your nice graphics card, I just had to stress that you need to forget about that with regard to After Effects. It's not really relevant.
    It may be that the jerkiness is an issue with a bottleneck of drawing to the screen. (I don't know, but it's possible.)
    Your hard disk being too slow wouldn't be an issue with RAM previews, since the frames are all cached in RAM.

  • Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.

    Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.
    There is so much distortion on some of the music I have to play it with QuickTime to get a "clean" track.
    What can be done to get a consistent volume level or is this another typical Apple product that you have to take what you get and be happy because it's not a Microsoft product?

    If that's the best you can do why don't you get on another forum?

  • Why do we need to recompile our project when its property files are change?

    As property files are external files from which we get our data...Why do we need to recompile our proj. every time we make some changes to the files. Is there any solution to it.

    Muktang wrote:
    Thanks All.
    I got the solution.
    Eclipse stores the res folder in its bin folder also..so if i dont change anything and do not compile the project..
    the property files in my bin\res folder does not fget affected by the actual property file..If u change the prop file of bin\res then it will update everythingAnd, as already mentioned, if that is the only one you change, then the next time you recompile your project those changes will be lost. Go into the project properties in Eclipse and reactivate the automatic compilation. Then you need only change the "source" version of the properties file, and Eclipse will update the one in the compiled area automatically, which is the right way to do it. If you want to change both automatically, or change only the one in the compiled area, then don't complain later that your changes either dissappear or become "corrupted".
