This is the trick.

Buy a copy at Best Buy at $54.99 but get a Gamer Gift Card and put a buck on the card and then get $5 bucks off.

Then come back to Best Buy on Friday with a Circuit City flyer that shows they will have it in stock on Friday for $44.99. Have Best Buy price match.

So the end result. $54.99 - $5 - $10 price match = $39.99

Sounds good. I think you'd have to use the gift card after you get the price match, not before though.

I already did this ... and usually here in VA, customer service won't let you use the GGC on a price match, so you use it before, and then they adjust the retail price.

I already got it for $39.99

Yep, how about just waiting a few weeks for a sale or something...or just BUYING IT ON FRIDAY? This seems like too much work, especially considering most people around here refuse to pay full price (or even 39.99) for anything. I'll buy it when I can find it at 29.99.

:D

Hey Asspicker-

Sorry you are irritated but it does work for some people. Its worked for me a number of times with no problem. Just depends on the cashier and their mood that day. :)

So this is definitely YMMV...it should be including in the title. I know most BBs won't let shit like this happen.

Hey my local BB allowed me to use the GGC with a pricematch. She even said "smart shopping" too lol.

This seems like alot of a hassle just to save $4. Just hold off until you can pricematch it at BB for $44 and use your rewards card. Since my BB is a decent drive away, all those trips would wind up costing me more for gas.

It shouldbe YCMV (cashier)

Because its policy to NOT combine GCC's discount with pricemacthes.

OR you could just use a GGC coupon at CC and get it for 39.99. That seems a bit easier to me.

No need to be rude. It's true, 99% of the time you can't use a GGC with the pricematch, plus they will see what you paid on your receipt anyway. But either way....don't act like a jackass and call someone an idiot.

You have been here less than a month so I don't think you have seen that many. No need to be rude, its YMMV which means it could work, either way you need to chill out.

I'm just irritated in these people saying that GGC will work with PM. This is getting really old they should of just put YMMV in the first place not edited it just irritates me.... so what I've been here less then a month but Ive seen the same thing everytime so your point is?
