[plastikpyro]

Full size lancer here I come!

[KueMan10]

How were you able to pay the bill right away? The terms say that the bill will be mailed to you. Was it emailed?

[Master Shake]

It took around a week after the order shipped until I got the statement via email. There was also one sent to my billing address.

[Sharp Katana]

wish i saw this sooner, i just spent $80 at amazon yesterday

[muzras]

Has anyone or does anyone know if this can work on a DS purchase?


I have bad credit so it might be rejecting me cuz of that. Or it is it Video GAMES no Video Games Systems.

The wording is kinda vague, seems like a DS for $130 would qualify for teh $20 off offer. " Video game products qualify for the offer "


http://www.amazon.com/gp/promotions/details/popup/AH84M6E4M2BT2


Can some help or clear this up for me please.

thanks.

[Master Shake]

I just tried and it works on a ds.

[muzras]

I just tried and it works on a ds.

Thanks for checking.:D


*sighz* :cry: my bad creditz


Can you try it on the limited pokemon DS system that is released on 8/17.


See if it still works, it is #13 on the best sellers list currently.

That is wat I wanted to pre-orderz.\

Thankz

[Master Shake]

Yep, also works.

[Hostile]

Can you use an existing Bill Me Later account?

[AZPunisher]

Does it work with the lancer?

[Master Shake]

Yes to both questions.

[Plinko]

Doesn't work with preorders, for those who are interested.

[Master Shake]

Doesn't work with preorders, for those who are interested.
Yes it does. I tried it with three different things. Make sure to use Bill Me Later and you may have to put in the code a second time.

[atomsk]

sweet. just used it on that new pokemans DS even though I don't really like pokemans. But it's black and comes with a baggy so that's good.

[DarkSageRK]

Would this stack with the Atlus $5 off code if it lowers the price below $50?

And

If I bought, say, Disgaea 3 for $49.99 would the code work?

[guinaevere]

Just a note to folks concerned about their credit score, this does affect your credit rating, as it does a credit check and if they approve you, it opens a line of credit. Both of those factors can impact your credit.

[Ryuukishi]

There's also a BMLMUSIC code that works for CDs, same terms.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Just a note to folks concerned about their credit score, this does affect your credit rating, as it does a credit check and if they approve you, it opens a line of credit. Both of those factors can impact your credit.

Yup. I would treat this the same as any of those "apply for our credit card, save $10" schemes. (In other words, stay away.)

[Ryuukishi]

Yup. I would treat this the same as any of those "apply for our credit card, save $10" schemes. (In other words, stay away.)This is just like any credit card... nothing wrong with it if you use it responsibly, i.e., pay your bill in full and on time.

[guinaevere]

To an extent, absolutely. And yes yes yes on paying bills full and on time!

But when you go to buy a house or a car or some other big purchase and they check your credit, having a ton of open lines of credit does affect your rating, and what will be the interest rate they offer you. Not trying to start a credit discussion, I just wanted to throw an FYI out there. There's a lot of young folks here who don't pay much attention to their credit ratings or know that such deals as this can impact them later in life.

I work in the industry so I know that used wisely and in moderation, credit is nothing to be scared of. But for some people with less experience it might be best to just stay away.

[Serpentor]

So, can anyone post the negatives using this BML promo? And traps to avoid? Well, paying bills on time is common sense...

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Yes, if you are young and do not have significant credit established please make sure you understand all the details of this offer and how it can impact your credit score if you do not pay on time. That said, this is a good opportunity to start a solid credit history if you are younger and just starting out using credit. Just make sure you pay off your entire bill before the due date. Also don't

That said, in for a Lancer bundle, Fable II & Too Human. The fact that this can be used multiple times is awesome.

Thank you, I do not need another line of credit open just to save $10.. If I were to I'd rather just use the Amazon save $30 open a new credit card offer..

[wolverinevsx23]

gears of war lancer and limited edition version for $129.99 with that pay it later option...

[D. Monic]

Here's a tip for those having trouble getting this to work. When you go to the "Select Payment Type" screen to select BML, don't enter the promo code on that screen. Just choose BML, enter the required info, and then click Continue to move on to the Order summary screen. On the Order Summary screen, enter the promo code in the blank on the right side of the screen. Worked like a charm. Used it to get the Pokemon DS Lite.

For some reason, whenever I entered the code on the Select Payment Type screen, I received a "This promotion cannot be applied to this order" message. So I just chose BML, clicked Continue, and entered the code on the Order Summary screen. Viola! It worked!

Give it a shot if you're having trouble.

[kearns710]

wait can someone tell me how you change the lancer package so that you get the CE edition of gears?!

[kearns710]

nvm....reading does wonders

[BillyBob29]

Very cool deal. Canceled my original Gears 2/Lancer bundle and re-ordered using my bill me later account to save the extra $20. Thanks OP!

For those wondering about the bill me later service. I really think it is worth it as long as you pay it off as soon as you get the bill. The potential hit to your credit score is minimal, or likely nothing unless you have a weak score or have maxed out your other lines of credit already, and offers like this $10 or $20 savings while using bill me later pop up several times a year.

How do you use this multiple times? It says limit of one usage per account. Unless you're using more than two Amazon accounts?

[xycury]

Picked up...

Luminous Arc 2 (39.99?!)
Chrono Trigger
Dragon Quest IV

total 119.97
-20
99.97

Shipping by Prime 2 day

in Sept, Nov, and Dec.....

I wonder if they'll charge me now, or when it ships......

[GLOCKGLOCK]

How do you use this multiple times? It says limit of one usage per account. Unless you're using more than two Amazon accounts?

No just my main account. I preordered Fable II and used the code at checkout. After that I put in my pre-order for Gears/Lancer and the code was already showing up when I went to the checkout screen, just hit update/apply button and the amount showing changed from the $10 (Fable II under $100) to $20 since the GoW bundle is over $100 and qualified for the higher discount. Completed that and Too Human rang up $10 off too.

Also for those worried about their credit, having one or two open lines that are current and never late actually imporve your credit score. It is much better to have open lines of credit that are paid off and always current as opposed to going to buy a house or car and never having any type of credit history. Just don't go overboard with 20+ credit cards and a spotty history of paying on time and your credit should be good. Also check your credit every year with the Free government credit report you can get here:

https://www.annualcreditreport.com/

That is the free site you should use for credit reports.

[Ryuukishi]

It does seem to work on multiple orders, despite the fine print in the offer.

I've got a PSP sitting at the top of my recommendations list. If it pops into the Gold Box before the end of the month and I can get 5% off plus $20 off, I'll be very happy. :)

[Serpentor]

Glock, you must have been lucky on applying more than once... I think they fixed the loophole or something, i can't get it to work more than once :(

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Glock, you must have been lucky on applying more than once... I think they fixed the loophole or something, i can't get it to work more than once :(

Maybe you are right, I just tested it out again and it won't let me use the code again... :cry:

Just a note to folks concerned about their credit score, this does affect your credit rating, as it does a credit check and if they approve you, it opens a line of credit. Both of those factors can impact your credit.

Oh? Good to know! Thanks Guin! Not worth opening ANOTHER line of credit for a measly 20 bucks. I'll hold off for a $50 + credit card, hehe.

[Serpentor]

It is weak sauce comparing to the $150 bonus when signing up the Sony card, but hell, $20 is better than nothing. To hell with credits, i got a house and car, no student loans...

[JolietJake]

I'm tempted to do this, i have no other loans or credit cards, would be good to establish a good payment history.

[crunchberries]

I have a few questions about this. Sorry if they're a bit noobish, as I've never really had any credit before.

Say I use this promo once, pay the bill on time, never use Bill Pay again and keep the line of credit open. What happens? Do I still get charged a fee for leaving the line of credit open? Or does it just sit there, stealthily improving my credit score by virtue of staying open?

[Slim Gatsby]

I opened a BML account for my iPhone in October, paid it in full in December, and never heard from them again.

Although I don't need it and have no business buying it, that DS does look sweet...I might just trade my GBA SP and burn some GS credit on it, though.

Do I still get charged a fee for leaving the line of credit open or does it just kind of sit there in limbo? Or does it just sit there, stealthily improving my credit score by virtue of staying open?IME there's no fees or any other hassles associated with just leaving it active with a zero balance.

As for your credit, having an unused open line can help or harm you depending on other circumstances. For example, one factor in the FICO score calculation is the ratio of your total outstanding balance to your total credit limit. If you do carry a balance, closing a credit line will raise this ratio and might actually hurt your score. However, closing a line can help you if you have a lot of lines open and an excessive credit limit.

Bottom line is that FICO score isn't just a checklist of things you can either do correctly or incorrectly. There are pros and cons to most things you can do, and a lot depends on your personal circumstances.

Wikipedia reference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fico_score#Makeup_of_the_credit_score)

[xycury]

BML is an open account loan, but without the credit cards.

Fees like standard credit cards apply.

I've used mine off and on... it doesn't close but it really isn't a line of credit but it individually assigns a top value.

I tried to make an order for a video card, about $250 and it denied it at Newegg.

I think it acts like bank loan, since there is a bank behind it, HSC or Chase, can't remember... But it performs as a credit card repayment plan with fees and what have you.

I've always payed mine in full the first month they send me the bill... kinda nice that way...

But I wonder what will happen on the preorders.... if they will bill me now, or bill me later :lol:

[sickle]

I want to pre-order GH4 bundle for $189?
Have anyone tried the BML on this pre-order?
When will they bill me, this month or in October?

Thanks

[Ryuukishi]

I want to pre-order GH4 bundle for $189?
Have anyone tried the BML on this pre-order?
When will they bill me, this month or in October?I preordered Luminous Arc 2 and Eternal Poison. Amazon doesn't charge until the order ships; I can't imagine this would be different just because the payment method is Bill Me Later instead of a credit card. If anything shows up in my BML account prior to shipment, I'll post.

[jacknicklson]

They don't charge your account until it ships, I did it with Batman Begins for the last promotion.

I'll post an update too, but yeah, Amazon shouldn't charge till shipped... so ....

Sept, Nov, Dec... games will be mine on day 1. And with them spread out like that... the charge won't be that much.

Nice!

[Hostile]

Do you get charged in full if you preorder multiple items that ship on different days and can you cancel them after the first item ships?

[jacknicklson]

Do you get charged in full if you preorder multiple items that ship on different days and can you cancel them after the first item ships?

You get charged separately for the items as long as you chose to ship as soon as the items become available. Canceling when there is a promotion like this involved is something I haven't done so I can not comment on that personally.

would someone order me a pokemans DS and I could send them a cashiers check / money order (cash if local) or paypalz

I just (finally!) got it to work on the GH4 bundle. Looks like they don't charge until the game ships.

[Zmonkay]

Anyone know a way to tell if you've already done bill me later? I swear I did years ago on something, but aren't sure. I assume it won't affect a credit score to do it more than once, just the first time?

If you set up an account online, it will show ALL of your previous purchases.... I assume you could make one now and have them look it up.

May only show you where and how much though....

Thanks, actually never thought to just google the bill me later website (thought it was just a special through Amazon, didn't know it was a separate site). Doesn't look like they have info on me, so I guess I didn't do it before after all.

Thanks for the help!

[david12795]

Stupid question but is there a catch when using Bill Me Later?

I'm only 16 but I do have a debt card. Will I be able to pay with that?

[newlu]

Do they check your credit score every time when you choose BML as your method of payment?
or just when you open up a new account?

TIA

[xGunCrazyx]

Not a bad deal, but I don't like the aspect of it affecting your credit...
Thanks OP for letting everybody know though :)

[TheChihuahua]

Just dropped my Fallout 3 Survivalist edition from 147 and change to 119.45 :D (damn, it sucks living in Washington)

[Master Shake]

Guess I'll pass then, because I want to apply for a mortgage in five-seven years when I decide to get a house.I doubt this will be factored in at all in 5-7 years.

This is completely ridiculous.

First of all, you can still "apply" for a mortgage whether or not you have good credit. It's the matter of getting the mortgage that is the issue, and BML is not going to have a huge impact on you getting another line of credit--especially if you pay the thing off immediately and never use it again.

[jacknicklson]

Thanks OP!

So I just tried to place preorders for all the games I want to buy through year end. Ordered NHL 09 solo, Brothers in Arms and Star Wars: The Force unleashed together, Fable 2 solo and then went to order Gears of War 2 and I'm getting an error message:

"We're sorry, but the promotional code you entered cannot be applied to this purchase. Please refer to your promotional coupon for information about item or store restrictions."

Anyone else have this issue?

[Collectordragon]

Once you get the bill what are your payment options?

[no_exit]

Guess I'll pass then, because I want to apply for a mortgage in five-seven years when I decide to get a house.
I seriuosly hope this was a joke and you just forgot to put a :D at the end.

People act like Bill Me Later is like taking out a $500,000 mortgage. It's a little $50-$100 line of credit - not a big deal at all. However if you cannot afford to pay of a $50-$100 line of credit, you probably should not be buying video games.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Guess I'll pass then, because I want to apply for a mortgage in five-seven years when I decide to get a house.

I think we have let a little bit too much paranoia take over this thread. If you use the Bill Me Later feature on Amazon or any other line of credit responsibly you will not have any problems with your credit in the future. By Responsibly I mean:

1. Pay your balance off in full prior to the due date.
2. Don't overdraw your credit limit on the card/account
3. Monitor your credit every year using the governments free credit report that I posted a couple pages back
4. Don't go overboard with credit cards, etc. It is fine to have 3 or 4 (or more) open accounts as long as you use them responsibly (see #1 & 2).

At some point you will need to have a credit history for some type of large loan (car/mortgage), so establishing good credit now is always a good idea. Look at it from the lenders point of view. Would you rather lend money to someone who has never borrowed anything in the past and has no quality references that will vouch for them or would you lend to someone who has a clean credit history that shows 3 or 4 accounts that are drawn against frequently but always paid in full on time? :-k

[Master Shake]

Man, we could have had that nice house but I had to get that that pokemon ds 5 years ago. DAMN YOU CAG! Now I'm in a van down by the river.

[GeorgeCostanza]

Is there a trick to this? I tried to apply this to the lancer bundle it says the promotional code you entered doesn't apply. Any ideas?

[Serpentor]

If you used once, the BMLGAMES code, then you can't use it again... Apparently they fixed the loophole.

[Ryuukishi]

I can just imagine the scene... *harp sound*

The year is 2015. You and your wife are smiling as you sign the mortgage papers. The loan officer shakes your hand, hands you a bottle of champagne, and says, "Congratulations! You're now a homeowner!"

But wait... his smile suddenly drops as he notices a single line on a piece of paper on his desk. "Hold on a minute, I may have missed something on your credit report," he says tentatively, his brow furrowing... "Did you make a $50 purchase back in 2008 using a service called 'Bill Me Later'?"

"Yes, but I paid that bill years ago," you stammer.

"Oh, I'm truly sorry, but there's been a terrible mistake. We can't accept any borrowers who have used Bill Me Later. It's against our policy."

"But... I've never been late on a bill! I've kept ahead on my student loans and never carried a balance on my credit cards. How can this happen?"

"Sorry, that's just the way it is. This transaction will be a permanent stain on your credit rating for all time. There is no escape. You will never own a home." *yanks back champagne bottle*

:) Seriously, great post GLOCKGLOCK.

[GeorgeCostanza]

If you used once, the BMLGAMES code, then you can't use it again... Apparently they fixed the loophole.

Would they accept a checking account from a 16-year old?

[Master Shake]

Would they accept a checking account from a 16-year old?I would think so as long as they approve your credit.

[david12795]

I would think so as long as they approve your credit.


What do you mean by approving credit? You mean like a limit?

[Homer X]

What do you mean by approving credit? You mean like a limit?

They are not just going to ship you a game in the hopes that you pay them later. They will determine your credit worthiness based on your financial history and earnings just like they would for a credit card. If youhave good credit they'll extend an offer, if not you will get rejected.

No it takes 30 seconds to sign up. You just enter the last 4 digits of your SSN, your name and address. The company Bill Me Later pays amazon for you and they bill you for it. It is just like opening a credit card. Bill me later will send you a bill, you pay it on time and you never have to use them again.

Amazon benefits by accepting another form of payment. Bill Me Later is the company who actually is providing the $10/$20 discounts. I'm sure they are trying to get more customers, so offering sweet discounts at the largest online retailer is a good strategy.

how do you do that?

Brought up my order history & sent an email that the Lancer I ordered is showing up in my Gold Box for $132.99.

Yeah, i think that's the trick... If the CSR can actually confirm that, then you'll get the credit back for sure, if not, oh well...

I'm guessing that this was a Quick Pick discount: 5% discounts that are offered to specific customers based on their personal recommendations. You can't get the discount or price match for it unless it was offered to you personally.

That's what i thought... unless Glock has another trick? $8 is not bad, i don't mind the saving at all.

Yea, you might be right that you aren't supposed to get it unless it was in your personal gold box, but when I ordered RB bundle last year it showed up in other people's gold boxes and I sent in for the PM and they gave it to me. So I figure it it worth a try. What is the worst thing they can do, tell me no? The email took 30 seconds to write so I figured it was a good investment! :lol:

So no fees or whatsoever when you use BML?

I haven't been billed personally since my items were all pre-orders but Master Shake appears to have had no issues with additional charges. I'm guessing that as long as you pay before the due date that there are no financing charges, just like other credit cards.

[jacknicklson]

no fees just finance charges for carrying a balance

I've also heard of them giving price adjustments past the 30 day deadline. Just depends on who you talk to and how well they know the policy.

[Monsta Mack]

You guys are funny, first time in awhile I got owned on CAG. I'll have to re-consider it then, but I'm broke either way.

[jacknicklson]

If anyone is wondering if you can use the DVD and CD codes in addition to the game code, you can.

Just ordered a bunch of DVDs after I ordered my games. BML seems to be paying off quite nicely.

[fshaia]

Just tried to buy 2 games which came to $49.98, added a 71 cent filler, but it would not give me the discount, I could not find any fillers in the "video games" area.

[ogbaka]

Just got an xbox360 20gb pro hdmi for $280 shipped after this discount, seems like a great deal to me.


for $350 on dell, you can now get a elite 360 with 120gb
i had a 20gb hd too but had to buy a 120gb hd cause download packs took up too much space...

Thanks, but I was looking for cheaper fillers, I know I'm cheap, but that's why I'm on CAG.
These companies tick me off sometimes, they know that the items will come in a couple of cents under the minimum to get free shipping or $10 off or whatever.

[gamer4432]

Thanks OP.

In for:
- The Shield Season 6
- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 3
- The Office Season 4
- Hellboy :br:

Came to roughly $102 after discount and tax. Unfortunately with me being cheap I chose to ship them when they all became available so I am looking at a Sept. 15 ship date :(

Wanted to get Shield Season 6 as soon as possible with the new season starting first week of September, but with college and a new dorm I can wait. ;)

Here's a tip for those having trouble getting this to work. When you go to the "Select Payment Type" screen to select BML, don't enter the promo code on that screen. Just choose BML, enter the required info, and then click Continue to move on to the Order summary screen. On the Order Summary screen, enter the promo code in the blank on the right side of the screen. Worked like a charm. Used it to get the Pokemon DS Lite.

For some reason, whenever I entered the code on the Select Payment Type screen, I received a "This promotion cannot be applied to this order" message. So I just chose BML, clicked Continue, and entered the code on the Order Summary screen. Viola! It worked!

Give it a shot if you're having trouble."

Some info for people with the same problem as me:

I tried using the method above, and I could not stack Super Saver shipping with it because I was selecting the free shipping method BEFORE inputting the promo code. I had to follow the method above, and then I could select Super Saver shipping without being blocked by Amazon's checkout.

I picked up Eye of Judgement Camera Bundle, Hot PXL PSP and RE4 Wii for $49.97. I also considered Indianapolis 500 ($20) and DBZ BT3 Wii ($24), but I thought RE4 Wii was a more solid choice. My other option was MGS:Essentials for PS2 and EoJ for PS3, but I already own all of the MGS games, so it's a bit redundant.

Btw, my Soul Calibur IV CE for $39.99 shipped like 12 days ago, and I have not received it yet. That free shipping really is slow as a snail, but I'm a cheap bastard :)

[foojason]

Is it possible to use the BML method AND also get the $30 off by using the Amazon Visa card?

Bill Me Later is the payment method, so no

That sux...I was planning to do the BML method, then use the card to pay off the bill when I get it.

[jacknicklson]

You can't use a credit card to pay the bml bill. Check, MO, or bank account only.

[mbartholow]

If I use this to grab a 360 Arcade, can I price match when it drops early next month? Do you think they'd PM me to the full drop (ie $179 after this coupon) or PM to $199 regardless of coupon? I would guess the first.

[jacknicklson]

They PM the price pre-promo

[mbartholow]

Would this combine with the BML coupon?

It's not a code-based promo, so it might?

[locolukah]

Thanks OP

Just pre-ordered Fallout 3 and Lego Batman for 89.98$

[mywhitenoise]

No it takes 30 seconds to sign up. You just enter the last 4 digits of your SSN, your name and address. The company Bill Me Later pays amazon for you and they bill you for it. It is just like opening a credit card. Bill me later will send you a bill, you pay it on time and you never have to use them again.

So is there any way to close the account after you paid the bill? Is there any possible way that someone could steal your identity with this, like credit card fraud?

[Drizztd9]

In for Infinite Undiscovery and Tales of Vesperia. Thanks OP!

[Gooney Gu Gu]

Full size lancer here I come!

Just got it with the LE game, I feel a little dirty...

I'm sure it is possible if you are not careful with your information, but it is probably more secure than using a real credit card. If you are worried just use it to get the promo and then pay off the bill immediately. Just be careful with your personal info like you would anything else, but since you probably will not get a physical credit card from this it will all be electronic so use the standard safeguards you would use when buying something online.

Personally I have not been billed for anything yet since all my items were Pre-orders, but a couple people have posted on here that they have done this without any issues.

It's hard to ship anything also since billing needs to match shipping. The site can't get the entire SSN, and all it has is your BD.

So, if anything is "different" they immediately reject the order.

I had to submit paperwork to show that I changed my name.

It's very secure since if I change my address, they will likely want to confirm it. And I do have an account online.

I don't know though if closing one then rejects you for opening a new one in the future.

I've used mine about 6 times with only once having issues... and that was because of my name change, which was painless to fix.

[mywhitenoise]

Just made my pre-order for Rock Band 2, total comes to $160 after my Gold Box Quick Picks discount.

I want to pay this off immediately when it ships, will I be safe if I pay it as soon as I receive my paper statement...or should I register with BML online and make an online payment?
I've only paid by a paper statement once in my life (I usually do everything online), and it was bullshit because even though I paid right away, they still charged me interest for about 2 bucks the following month...$2 isn't a big deal, but it was ridiculous I had to mail a check for that amount even though I sent the first check right after I got my statement.
