I used a GGC for the first time today. Anyone left who's never used one?

[Gothic Walrus]

For the first time in my life, I was able to use a GGC at Best Buy. The game was Metal Slug Advance; the price was $17.50 after the coupon. Every other time I've tried to get something with the GGC, my stores never had the card in stock.

Does this make me a real CAG? :wink:

Anyway, this brings me to my question. I've been here for well over a year now, and I've managed to go until today without using the GGC before. Is there anyone on the site who's never used the card before? And if not, why?

<3 curiosity. :)

[hiccupleftovers]

Wow, I had always thought Gothic that you had used a GGC. I've used probably already 10-12, if not more, this year starting from around August/September. I actually think that my first GGC use was when I PM'ed Street Fighter Anniversary Collection and used the GGC to make it come to 19.99.

Does BB have Metal Slug Advance now for 24.99 or something?

[greendj27]

I never have. I don't shop at Best Buy very often and I've never seen one at my store when I have been there.

[Follandboy]

What is a GGC and what does it do? I live in the woods, where there is no Bestbuy. Can it be used online?

[evilmax17]

I've probably used it 7-10 times, and I always have one ready to go in my wallet. Uh, well, "welcome to CAG" i guess. :P

No, I have never used one mainly because I find better deals elsewhere.

[btw1217]

I've never used one, but the closest BB is two hours away. :roll:

[whoknows]

I have probably only use it 2 or 3 times, I am just too lazy to go wait in line and put a few dollars on it to get $5 off, and no I'm not rich, just extremely lazy.

[epobirs]

Not so far. THere has never beeen anything I wanted at BB over $19.99 that I wanted that much for another $5 off. Way too many $5 and $10 this year to bother.

I am tempted this week though. I have a Rewards Zones certificate and FF:DOS is down to $25. Since my gaming is currently limited to portables I have greater incentive than usual. Getting it down to $15 might push me over the edge into GGC use.

[Doylerulez]

I've never used one, but that's mostly because I never go to BB which is about a 1/2 hour away. That and the only game I purchased from BB B&M is Fire Emblem for $9.99, which doesn't qualify.

You're lucky to make it to the elite(and sometimes snooty) group of CAG.

[darkcrawlspace]

I went to BB yesterday to pick up a game, but I couldnt find any GGC's anywhere.

[RedvsBlue]

What I thought was funny was that I had discovered and was using the GGC even before I joined CAG. A friend of mine and I were calling it the Best Buy Permi(nant)-discount. I started visiting this site and read some threads about GGC and I knew this site was for me!

[gaelan]

never used one.

what are the pros/cons? any catches? i buy a game every once an a while from BB. Most of mine are sniped off ebay. Can the GGC make a huge financial impact on a game purchase

[GenDV138]

I've used one, hopefully I can find another tomorrow for Metal Slug Advance.

It doesn't make a big difference on $50 games, but if BB has a good deal on a recent game, it makes the deal that much better. And for $20 games, it is great -- 25% off.

I used to keep the plastic cases, but I ran out of room. I have used dozens of them.

[6669]

Thanx to shrike, I'll probably use one this week on Viewtiful Joe 2.

[Final Starman]

Yep, used it to get Star Ocean 3 for $35 and Chain of Memories for $20! Thanks CAG!

[zionoverfire]

I've never used one, but then I normally stay far away from BBs.

[craven_fiend]

that may make me use my first GGC (COM). Never used one in the year i've been here

[Xtreme331]

Nope, never used one. I guess because i have a hard time giving my money to a company before i decide what to buy from them. I usually just walk around until i find a game, then buy it. Oh well... maybe someday

[Kaijufan]

Ive only used the GGC to get Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots for $20 a few months ago.

[captainfrizo]

I've never used one and doubt I ever will.

[xboxgamer]

Never used one. The closes to me is about 50miles

[neonglow]

These cards are great for new GBA games. Best Buy usually has them for $25 release week. With the coupon, the new game becomes just $20. Without it, I doubt I would have bought as many GBA games as I do.
