[DEAD] $5 off ANY Videogame for Rewards Zone members at Best Buy

[Mojimbo]

Thanks to fellow CAG Strider Turbulence (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1801267&postcount=500) for pointing this out.

Best Buy put up the following coupon on the Rewards Zone site for members.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/mojimbo_xl/misc/gamecouponrz.jpg

http://www.myrewardzone.com/pdf/getcoupon.pdf

It seems to be relatively unconditional, listing no minimum price, although it excludes the standard clearance items and can't be combined with other coupons/offers.

Runs from 4/2/06-4/15/06.

[shrike4242]

Very very nice. Time to use the heck of this in place of the GGC for a few games.

Such as:
Ape Escape 3
Jak X
Serious Sam 2 Xbox
God Of War
GT4
Total Overdose (Xbox & PS2)

Just to name a few. For me, it'll be Jak X at least.

[Josef]

Thanks OP! Even though it says it's not to be used on clearance games, you may get lucky with some of the sub $9.99 games, depending on cashier. I wonder if the coupon automatically comes off the price like the previous one did, or if the cashier has to manually knock it off.

[Damian]

Great if you're already a Rewards member, but at $9.99/year for membership I'm not going to sign up just for this.

[shrike4242]

If they encoded it right for the UPC, the system should automatically knock it off. Otherwise, they'll have to adjust it manually.

And I'm guessing that one coupon won't knock down more than one game. It says "1 coupon per membership per transaction" which means more than one game will need more than one trip through the register.

[Santurio]

Thank you it will be well used.

[Mojimbo]

I'm guessing the clearance exclusion is meant to apply to individual store clearances(like when they have a bunch of games on a table at "X"% off and they have to manually adjust the price up front), there should be no problem trying to use it to knock $5 off a nationwide clearance item.

[62t]

can this be combin with Gamer's gift card?

[ZeroEclipse]

it says "Not good in combination with any other coupons or offers."

Sometimes you can get lucky, though, so it wouldn't hurt to try. Just don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work.

God of War and GT4 are the only games on that list that are worth buying.

[rebenns]

It Doesn't say anything about the items having to be regular price, so you might get some good deals in the coming weeks.

[MightySlacker]

Great if you're already a Rewards member, but at $9.99/year for membership I'm not going to sign up just for this.

pssst - you use 2 of them, and you've paid for your rewards membership

[CaoPi]

about Reward Zones how does it work? Is it like a MVP/Gamestop card thing where you pay abou 14.99 for extra savings?

[62t]

no. mvp/gs card is only for used games.

[solsovly]

Not bad, if my BB didn't have a bunch of GGC left I'd join.

[Sway]

The coupon is freakin' huge. But thanks for the sweet deal!

[jkam]

Darn...this would have been good for the Resident Evil I bought at $14.99. Good find though OP!

[AfroPig]

It's more comparable to the Sam Good/Suncoast Reward cards. You get points for every dollar you spend, and when you get a certain amount of points you get a $5 off coupon, that actually lowers the price of items down (before), instead of taking a -$5 as a seperate charge.

[ZeroEclipse]

time to get me tetris ds today :D

[Prepster]

I got a one of these in the mail yesterday with my reward zone cash, going to try and use a bunch of these before they expire.

[Kerig]

Thanks OP! This is perfect for games < $20 that can't use the GGC.

Genji $9.99 ($4.99)
Rumble Roses $9.99 ($4.99)

This is almost as good as the McDonalds coupon, shame it only lasts 2 weeks.

[SithFran]

It's not appearing for me. What's up?

[eau]

I wonder if you can cut away the left portion where it says RZ members, would it work better without an actual membership :evil:

[psunami]

Sweet. I'll be picking up the Tecmo Classic Arcade for $5 bucks now.

Tecmo Bowl on my 360, here I come.

[Redeema]

Hell yes, I'm glad I didn't buy Tetris DS last night after all! Sweet! Would be great for Brain Age DS too! $15 after coupon.

[SpazX]

How often do things like this come out? I'd consider getting a membership if it doesn't happen only once a year or something.

[abhinav]

Time to become a reward zone member. Gonna be getting Brain age and True swing golf for $15 each, cant beat that.

[Josef]

I brought up a $9.99 copy of Mega Man Battle Network 4 : Blue Moon (GBA) and used the coupon to knock it down to $4.99, no problem.

I haven't tried it on any of the $4.99 and under games yet.

[Admiral Ackbar]

It shoulda been $10 BB. :P

[Chacrana]

Thanks for the heads up... I can definitely use this.

[argyle]

God of War and GT4 are the only games on that list that are worth buying.

Wrong. Ape Escape 3 and Jak X are both excellent games.

[roguejedi5]

Most definetly worth using this on a buncha of new games I been eyeing. thank you!

[Damian]

pssst - you use 2 of them, and you've paid for your rewards membership
Yeah, and I have two full price games and have to buy a third at full price to start saving $5. Yippee. Number of games I've purchased at Best Buy in the last year: 1. I would only shop at Best Buy during something like the recent clearance.

[Redeema]

Damn, I just noticed that Brain Age comes out on 4/19 a few days after the coupon runs out. Maybe they'll have a pre-order on it, so I can grab it for $15. Or maybe I'll be able to score it from Circuit by having them price match, they won't notice the coupon is expired.

[WeaponX2099]

I may try to get Rise of Kasai today then with a $2 Nanobreaker.

[froinlaven]

Excellent.... Exxcelllenttt....

[Roufuss]

Now if only some $10 or under games appear soon, so the coupon will make them even cheaper (excluding the stuff from the clearance).

[eau]

May have problem using the coupon on $4.99 game since they would say the game has to be $5 or more in order to take $5 off.

However, you shouldn't have any problem using it on a $9.99 game though. That's where the coupon excels over the GGC coupon.

[doubledown]

Sweet. I'll be picking up the Tecmo Classic Arcade for $5 bucks now.

Tecmo Bowl on my 360, here I come.

Is this game BC for the 360?????

However, you shouldn't have any problem using it on a $9.99 game though. That's where the coupon excels over the GGC coupon.

I usually give them the coupon after they give me the total, since the tax brings the game to over $5, in which case that argument is null and void.

[Captain_Insano16]

Sweet - thanks for the heads up on this! I know what I'll be doing with b-day $$ next week

[KingDox]

great coupon. I'll have to try it out later this week.

[tumbenhaur]

Just went to Best Buy, and got Genji for $4.99 + tax!
They scanned the coupon and the RZ card, and hit ok when the discount window came up, no problems with that one.

Unfortunately, it didn't work with $4.99 Enthusia, but 1/2 is not too shabby!

Thanks OP!

Seems like I have to rebuy Genji with the coupon and return it using the old receipt.

[BatStrike]

I picked up Geist, the 1st Gamecube I've bought for myself in forever, for $4.99. Glad I found the thread.

[Rictor]

I've had Reward Zone for years and have never paid for it. I just use Reward Zone points to pay the renewal fee...and the initial fee was paid when I bought a computer or something years ago.

[shrike4242]

Give them the phone # on your RZ account, and they'll look it up by that.

I had to do that for a while when I couldn't find my card, and just so you know, they won't send you a new one.

[psunami]

In regards to Tecmo Classic Arcade, yep... it's on the backward compatibility list.

i was fortunate enough to get my rz account free a couple of years ago and every year they renew it for free!!

[Reality's Fringe]

I could get about 5 copies of Rise of Kasai for free

[YoshiFan1]

According to a post above, it didn't work on Enthusia which was $4.99 so it probably won't work on Rise of Kasai either

[Reality's Fringe]

Oh =(. Lame, but I could get Geist for $5 which is better than nothing I guess.

Me too, well almost. I bought my first one cuz with what I was buying that day paid for the memberhsip. The second time there was a free coupon floating around, and the third they renewed for free.

[Strider Turbulence]

With the coupon, Beatdown (xbox) is $5.

[doubledown]

In regards to Tecmo Classic Arcade, yep... it's on the backward compatibility list.

Do these things usually come in the mail as colored coupons I mean, is it okay to print this in black/white? Also, do I need to show that I'm a reward member card holder? I think I'm still a member, but I don't know where I put that card. Thanks in advance. I just printed this, seems kind of big for a coupon.

Never had a problem using a BestBuy coupon printed in B&W that was available electronically on their own website(s). If they give you grief, just say you printed it from their RZ website.

I used it on Rise of Kasi, but it was marked at 9.99 at my place. Maybe the coupon didn't work and the price was lower, but either way I got it for 4.99.

[kevzik]

My dad is a RZ member. Could I give them his phone #? Do they check ID, and if so would it still be okay since we have the same last name and are related?

[argyle]

They don't check ID, I know because I used to share a RZ membership w/ a friend.

Anyway, for anyone who can take advantage of this & hasn't already figured this out - both Geist and Genji qualify for Rhino's 2-for-1 deal. $10 for $50 isn't a bad deal at all. :)

[mackaikai]

coupon didn't work on Geist for me...2 managers (yah..2) came and said that game is in clearance so the coupon won't work -_-

Just used a b/w copy that wouldn't even scan. All they have to do is punch the # in and it works. :)

BTW I picked up Mechassault for $5. :bouncy:

I also saw the following for $5 after coupon:

Pandora Tomorrow
Splinter Cell
Counter Strike
Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
Rugby 05 (don't think this was listed)
Some NCAA game
Project Gotham Racing 2
Tecmo Classic Arcade

GBA
F-zero

GC
Resident Evil $9.99 AC


I may go back and pick up a couple more games.

[botticus]

I guess I will be returning/rebuying Yoshi's Island and Resident Evil that I just bought last week. We'll see if they let me use two at once at the customer service desk or if I actually need to do a full return, go get new items, and check out again.

I can see the "1 per membership" thing causing some trouble, even though its clearly "per transaction"

And I'll probably get Tony Hawk for DS while I'm at it.

[hotwls13]

Just a quick note/observation. If you print this coupon out fullsize you shouldn't have any problems with it scanning at the register. I tried to get cute and put three on a page (cause I'm cheap) and they will not scan. i have a pen scanner here at work and I tested my smaller ones printed on laser printer against a full size laser, and a ink jet full size.

The ink jet and laser full size coupons both scanned perfectly, but my shrunk ones would not.

So, for those of you that may have a hard time with managers, if you take the full size copy, it should automatically work and not raise any eyebrows.

[TimTucker]

Another item that may be good for this -- I noticed packages that had a third-party PS2 controller + game for $9.99 (games were Serious Sam or Powerdrome). Although it includes a controller, from looking at the shelf tag it looks like they're included in the same category/department # as PS2 games rather than accessories. The Powerdrome bundles might be a good way of picking up a few cheap copies to trade in elsewhere along with a cheap controller.

They scrutinized it a bit, I mentioned it was on the RZ web site, and they just typed in the UPC # and I ended up getting Puyo Pop DS for $5.40 with taxes.

[KingDox]

are there any good PC games to try to use this coupon on ? The GGC doesn't work on PC games so this coupon has it beat.

[shrike4242]

Battle For Middle Earth (the first one) is $19.99 in-store. $14.99 AC, well worth it.

Also, Ultimate Spider Man dropped down to $19.99, so it'll be $14.99 AC. Another one to look for.

[dragonjud]

If anyone is willing to do so I'm still looking for pac n roll (DS), and Puyo Pop (DS). I'll pay retail (minus the coupon of course), plus shipping, plus a few bucs for your trouble. I have paypal...pretty please. My local stores (NY) ran out of these a long time ago.

I know this sounds crazy, but has anyone thought of shareing there RZ member phone number. I mean, if the numer is not abused and only used for this purpose then the RZ member could benefit greatly. One gets 5 bucks off the other gets the points w/o any effort. If anyone is willing to share their number with me then PM...LOL.

Ah ok, there was talk earlier of removing the "Reward Zone members only" text to try to use it anyway. I didn't look at the coupon, so I assumed that's what you were doing. If you're just taking the coupon verbatim and shrinking it I've got no problem with that at all, my apologies.

Looks good, but a no go as far as the barcode. I just printed this and tried to scan the barcode, it wouldn't work. I think the barcode is just too small/lines too close together.

I will be using the full size so it scans right. I don't want the checker to have to ask for help if the barcode doesn't scan.

I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet, but this doesn't require an Reward Zone membership. I forgot to fish my card out of my wallet, and she didn't ask, but it went through in two transactions. Resident Evil for $10 and Yoshi's Island for $15. Bought them last week, but this saved about $6.

No sign of Tony Hawk DS or Ultimate Spiderman on GC, which is beginning to be a habit with BB and these $20 games. Do they just not bother reordering once it gets to that point?

Either that or the FatWallet leeches got to them. I did a quick online search of the games I would actually want to use this coupon for, and I found a big fat zero in all of New York City.

so Best Buy stores do not price match Best Buy online, is that true?
90% of the time the prices are the same, so its rarely an issue.

[kevzik]

I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet, but this doesn't require an Reward Zone membership. I forgot to fish my card out of my wallet, and she didn't ask, but it went through in two transactions. Resident Evil for $10 and Yoshi's Island for $15. Bought them last week, but this saved about $6.

No sign of Tony Hawk DS or Ultimate Spiderman on GC, which is beginning to be a habit with BB and these $20 games. Do they just not bother reordering once it gets to that point?

Damn, I just bought a RZ card today too! So it is possible that th coupon can work if you don't have your card or phone#, but what happens if they do ask for it like mine did, then ur screwed. I woulda tried it tho if I woulda known.

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks OP. Gonna use this for Ultimate Spiderman. Maybe also Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition

What's the best version of Ultimate Spiderman, GCN, Xbox, or PS2?

[eau]

Thanks OP. Gonna use this for Ultimate Spiderman. Maybe also Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition

What's the best version of Ultimate Spiderman, GCN, Xbox, or PS2? I have no first hand experience but Gamecube version has the highest score at gamerankings.

[pinoy530]

I have no first hand experience but Gamecube version has the highest score at gamerankings.

Heres from the ign head to head:

Final Verdict



Our overall recomendation is based on all factors previously inspected in the previous categories. If graphical quality affects your purchasing decision the most, then grab a PC copy. Among the consoles; Xbox and GameCube are neck and neck visually, but still look very different (the GCN has a naturally brighter output while the Xbox has deeper blacks). Unfavorably, the Sony system winds up towards the rear in nearly every catagory, making the PS2 version the one copy you may want to skip out on. If you only play console games, than grab either an Xbox or Cube Ultimate Spider Man, but bear in mind the slight advantage in sound quality and less load times on the Xbox. USM for PC will offer up the best all-around, most bang for your buck experience (at $20 less), so that draws our nod as the most superior across the platforms.


Overall Ranking:
1. PC
2. Xbox (barely)
3. GameCube
4. PlayStation 2

[Masterkyo]

I'll go for PS2 for LE version. I wonder LE version is worth $15 ?

[Sofa King Cheap]

Just got shut down trying to use the coupon with The Rise of the Kasai. Computer wouldn't take the coupon, as the game needs to be $5.00 or more for the computer to accept it. I could have huffed and puffed and argued that the coupon says $5 off ANY game (no matter the price), but it wasn't worth the hassle and time to save $5 off an already cheap game (that I didn't really want, even though I enjoyed and beat The Mark of Kri).

If others get it to work for what would then be a free game, more power to you.

If others get it to work for what would then be a free game, more power to you. I was able to use a $5 off any video game coupon on a $4.99 game last year (they overwrote it to $0 and filled up a yellow form), but not after waiting for the cashier going back and forth to check with a supervisor. I'm not sure if I want to go through that this time around...

[romeogbs19]

Yeah -- I think the coupon will work on a game that isn't on clearance. For instance, it should work on Ping Pals (or whatever the heck it's called). It won't work on Mark of Kri b/c it's a clearance game. I tried it too and the cashier went back and asked the mgr. who said the coupon isn't applicable.

I too didn't feel it was worth it. If I really wanted it, I'd have paid $5, but I don't care much for this game at all, so "eh".

[speedy05]

please forgive me if this has been asked: but are copies of the coupon accepted & can this coupon be used more than once? thanks

[botticus]

I used it twice in two transactions at the same register, so yes. It's 1 per membership per transaction. And it's online, so it's hard not to make copies.

[anotherpoorgamer]

I wonder, what's the largest domination these coupons can get? It would be funny if instead this was a $100 or more coupon and see the reaction of employees, when you hand them the coupon and end up walking out of the store with a Gamecube or other game system paying little to nothing at all. :)

[eldad9]

And it's online, so it's hard not to make copies.

You could snip the original internet and bring it to the register.

[botticus]

Went ahead and bought Lockdown (GC) for $15... probably could get it cheaper eventually, but I'm starting to have shitty luck with clearances and stuff, so I'll take my chances. Unfortunately Ultimate Spiderman was not waiting for me as well.

[DuckM4n]

grabbed ultimate spidey while clearance at target, pc for 13.98

yea the 5 dollar off coupon has to be something more than 5.00 dollars

[romeogbs19]

picked up 007: FRwL -- and am lovin' it. I don't see why this game got such piss-poor reviews. It's not for hardcore gamers, no doubt, but it plays just fine for gamers who want their action simple, fast, and mindless :-)

[Strider Turbulence]

I picked up Beatdown for $5 with the coupon as well as Dragonball Z Budokai 3 Collector's editon (finally dropped to $19.99). I gotta say, so for Beatdown is actually pretty good.

[MightySlacker]

Got Geist for 5, then gave it Gamecrazy for 18

[Bobweiser]

OK, any guesses if this will work on Sunday's buy 2 Greatest Hits for $30? Probably could only use one coupon for $5 off, but think it'll work? Last coupon the $10 off $29.99 or higher said not valid with any other deals, but still worked on games they put on sale for $29.99 like Matrix: Path of Neo and Kong when they were normally $49.99.

That's because there wasn't any special code to get a sale price. I'm assuming they'll have to punch in something (or it will happen automatically) to issue the 2 for $30. On that assumption, they would likely have manually override to get the coupon on top of that. So YMMV.

[DuckM4n]

heres the two pack of coupon, i have used this and it does scan

http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3MS8RRUZR5S4X2BQ38YPG2WMID

oOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Geist thats some awesome trade in value, i must find it! maybe ill buy an GC with the credit

wouldnt that be sweet!!!!! but alas we must dream on :drool:

[Spaceboy176]

I got the coupon in the mail along with a Reward Zone coupon. I am going to use both on something. Thanks for the info OP!

[chamber715]

Does anyone know if the coupon will work with a price match? I wanted to get Kingdom Hearts 2 but Circuit City has it this week for 10 dollars less.

[Mojimbo]

It shouldn't but you may get lucky.

[Masterkyo]

Got Geist for 5, then gave it Gamecrazy for 18

You are EVIL :)

[Masterkyo]

The coupon work out very good. Pickup 2 Geist, Beatdown, Rumble Roses, Eyetoy: Operation Spy :)

[Masterkyo]

I almost forget! Compusa did take Bestbuy coupon (Pricematch it) and it work like GOLD ;)

I plan go back compusa get Wave Race (GC) $9.98 - $5 off bb coupon = $4.98 plus few more killer games ;)

Oppps! I almost about SEARS store. They did pricematch this coupon too ;)

GOOD LUCK and PEACE OUT!

[flybrione]

time to get me tetris ds today :D

That was my Idea :D

[DuckM4n]

how much was operation spy?

[neudog]

Do you have to be a RZ member for this coupon to work? Also is the "Coupon Honoring" at Compusa and Sears national or YMMV, thanks:bouncy:

[dragonjud]

Didn't want to open a new thread just for this...but Matrix Path of Neo has disappeared from the BB website. The last time they did this, they lowered Ape Escape 3 and Jak X to 19.99. It's probably worth a price check at least.

[shrike4242]

Well, maybe Path Of Neo is still there:
Path of Neo shows up just fine.

I even made a thread about two weeks ago how they dropped the PS2 version to $29.99.

Compusa and Sear match competitor's coupon? I didn't know that.

Do they match the coupon even on a clearance game? Say a $9 game in their clearance bin?

[schultzed]

I went in to use one of these coupons today . . . but couldn't find anything I wanted :-(

But at the checkout they had the new Gamers Gift Card!!! I've scoured many local stores and haven't seen them.

Now, Racine WI has them.

[dragonjud]

Went today and picked up Matrix Path of Neo (29.99) as it looks like they'll stop ordering that game (used the coupon, plus $5.00 RZ I got in the mail). The store on 86th and Lexington also had a few Rise of Kasai's, so I picked one up for my trade list. I also picked up Jak X, for $15.00 after the coupon. Finally, I noticed Sly 3 is at 29.99 permanently at Best buy. Probably old news, but not bad for $25.00 after GGC or RZ coupon. thx op.

[abhinav]

Bought Reward Zone today and snaged:
Genji - $5 AC
True Swing golf - $15 AC

And believe it or not, Gamer Gift Cards! By the dozens! I picked up 8, time to get Brain age for $15, and these things expire 6/7/2007!

[botticus]

Went to the Macedonia BB... picked up both Ultimate Spiderman and Tony Hawk DS, but didn't have my coupons... so hopefully they'll let me rebuy them at my BB with the coupons with no hassle as I have done before. Think I snagged the last of each, store locator didn't show them in stock.

[shrike4242]

Score so far with the coupons:

Half-Life 2 (Xbox)
Ultimate Spider-Man (Xbox)
007: From Russia With Love (Xbox)
Jak X (PS2)

The nice gem on top of that is that I had a $50 GC to use towards all of those, thanks to Palm for their Palm Pays Back program. :D

Hopefully, I can still find one BB that has COD2:BR1 CE (which I think there is, have to run by there Monday after work), though what else @ $19.99 out there to get for me is up in the air, since I think handing BB more than $15 per game isn't worth it. Maybe some GBA PC game love.

[Ravenlock]

Thanks to fellow CAG Strider Turbulence (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1801267&postcount=500) for pointing this out.

Best Buy put up the following coupon on the Rewards Zone site for members.
It seems to be relatively unconditional, listing no minimum price, although it excludes the standard clearance items and can't be combined with other coupons/offers.

Runs from 4/2/06-4/15/06.

Brilliant. :applause:

Thanks, sanjuro!

[sonarrat]

This has Guitar Hero written all over it.

[eau]

I was able to use the $5 coupon on a $4.99 game but they had to do an overwrite. Therefore, YMMV.

[botticus]

They gave me no issue handing me $5 back on my two purchases. Rather than returning/buying them, they just price adjusted $5 off. With my Monk PM (which they hated), returned with $51 back. Edit: Heh, saved an additional 50 cents since they just refunded me the difference instead of returning/rebuying... tax where I bought it was only 6.25%, tax here is 7.5%.

And in case anyone cares anymore, they had a good two dozen premium 360s at the front of my BB. It would appear that everyone on the east side of Cleveland who wants a 360 has one.

[Togepy]

Picked up The Bible Game (!) and Eye Toy Operation Spy for $5 each. Any other interesting $10 games out there?

[clearM3]

damn i've bought like 4 games in the past week from best buy

i could of saved 20 dollars

[clearM3]

best buy this week has a 2 greatest hits for 30 offer


do you think this could work for me to pay 25 instead of 30 for 2 games??

[RaPtOrsIII]

unless the manager gets called over and says it cannot be combined with a "Special offer" then ur SOL. So does The Bible Game for $5 look good for credit?

[shrike4242]

Go back in with the coupon and see if they'll price adjust the games down by $5 each. You have nothing to lose, save time and gas.

[Decker]

Tried to get Rise of Kasai for free, but the coupon wouldn't work. Still, I think it's worth $4.99 so I'm okay.

What's the word on Gretsky 06? It can be had for $5 with the coupon.

[Jedi1979]

picked up the Tecmo Arcade Classics for $5 after coupon and also picked up Heroes of the Pacific for $5 after acoupon and a $10 Reward Certificate....


Was behind some guy (probably early 30s or later 20s) buying a core 360 with 4 reg priced games, memory card and another wired controller....I couldnt believe what i was seeing...the Premiums are all over the place it seems now...who the hell buys a core besides parents who dont know any better:roll:

best buy this week has a 2 greatest hits for 30 offer


do you think this could work for me to pay 25 instead of 30 for 2 games??

Nope.
They wouldn't let me.
It took the cashier 10 minutes to realize that the coupon can not be combined with another offer (sale). At first she scanned in the coupon, but the games were coming up as $19.99. I her that the games were on sale (2 for $30). She told me they were not, so I show her the ad. Then, she told me that the only games that are on sale are those that are pictured in the ad. I then show her the fine prints where it stating that "ALL" Player's Choice (etc.) are valid for this sale. Then she told me that one of the games I purchased wasn't a Player's Choice (Greatest Hits/etc) game even though it was (Resident Evil 4 for the GameCube). After convincing her that it is, she told me that I had to purchased 2 games for the same system. Finally, I told her to just rang me up and I'll go dispute the amount at the service desk (There were people waiting in line behind me waiting patiently and I didn't want to hold them up any longer). So she took off the $5 coupon and a new prompt magically appeared on her monitor stating the games were part of the 2 for $30 sale. She told me that I couldn't combine both offers (the coupon and the sale price). It took her 10 minutes to realize that?!

Why do I always run into these stupid cashiers at bestbuy?
I forgot to mention that my bestbuy/target sucks.
I went to 3 separate targets last week during the "buy 2 player choice (greatest hits, etc.) games get 1 free" promotion looking for God of War, GT4, RE4. Not 1 of them had all 3 games in stock (they had either 1 or 2 of those titles I wanted).

I should stop mumbling now.
Sorry. Just had to let it out.

[clariste]

....So she took off the $5 coupon and a new prompt magically appeared on her monitor stating the games were part of the 2 for $30 sale. She told me that I couldn't combine both offers (the coupon and the sale price).....

So did it actuallly work in the system though? She took off the $5 then the 2 for $30 promo appeared....do you mean she cancelled by her own will or b/c the computer wouldn't combine them? Would it have worked if she just hit the OK button when the 2 for 30 promo appeared or was there an error?

The sale price didn't come up until she took off the coupon manually.
I'm guessing it is YMMV. If you're lucky enough, I guess anything is possible.

What's the word on Gretsky 06? It can be had for $5 with the coupon.

You sure about it being Gretzky 06 for $5 AC? I just got back from my local BB and they only had the original Gretzky for $5 AC. Don't remember what 06 was priced at. (I bought 05, as mediocre as all the reviews are I'm sure I can get $5 of play out of it! Even if just as a tiny frisbee) But it sounds like 06 is ever-so-slightly better so it might be worth getting instead. (most reviews basically say 06 is a little bit better but it's still not very good)

[eau]

I picked up the following for $4.99 AC each yesterday.

Bible Game
Conflict: Desert Storm
Genji

Instead of ringing them up in separate transactions, the cashier said it's ok to do multiple coupons at the same time and it worked. Each coupon scan knocked $5 off each game. So much for the 1 per membership and 1 transaction fine print :twisted:

[eau]

Some $9.99 PS2 games to consider.

Bible Game
Cold Winter
Conflict: Desert Storm
Genji
LA Rush
Virtua Fighter

$14.99 PS2 games:
Medal of Honor:Frontline
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero

Would have purchased more if I printed more coupons to bring with me :twisted:

Does anyone know if Best Buy can do a return (or adjustement like this) without a receipt like Target can? I mean by looking up your credit card and finding the transaction. I keep every receipt for every game I buy, but of course I can't find my stupid Pac N Roll receipt - I've torn my office up and down looking for it. It's not worth spending any more time on it for $5 especially if they can look up the transaction without a receipt (though I also forgot to enter my RZ number at the time and would like to get credit for that as well!).

[Strider Turbulence]

[Mojimbo]

Too bad there were hardly any price drops today, the only one I noticed was Stubbs the Zombie(Xbox), which dropped to $20, although I'm not sure if that was from today or if it's been there for a while.

That being said, I feel obligated to take advantage of the coupon at least one more time this week. I was thinking about Ape Escape 3 for $15 AC, anyone have any opinions on it? What about Rise of the Kasai? Thanks.

[io]

I was quite the devil customer tonight...

First I went to CC to price adjust Flipnic from $8.96 to $5.96. Then off to Best Buy where I had them look up my transaction by credit card to adjust Pac N Roll from $10 to $5. It took a bit of time because this wasn't the store I bought it at - apparently there are different systems they can look in to find transactions (it wasn't in the first one she looked at). But she was able to straighten it all out soon enough.

Unfortunately they had squat to pick up with the $5 coupon. Well, they did have Rise of Kasai but I figured it wouldn't work to get that for free (apparently, I am reading now, it has worked for some people) so I didn't try. I did find a Rome Total War Barbarian Invasion guide for $0.01 so I bought that. I tried to buy NDS Ridge Racer which is on the list I printed from CAG at $9.99 - I figured that would be OK at $5 after coupon. Well, it rang up $19.99 (and it does not have a sitcker over the UPC) so I cancelled that part, and left with just my penny guide.

Then I took a copy of the coupon to my next stop, the CompUSA across the street. There I price adjusted a Drakengard I bought for $10 a few weeks ago and got $5 back on that :D. They said they don't normally do this but would "just this once".

So, I went to 3 stores (all within 1 mile of each other) and got back $13.xx and spent $0.01 on a penny guide. Quite the cheap-ass outing if I may say so...

:-k Thanks for the heads up on Stubbs the Zombie. I actually want that game (although website says not available for store pick-up)....hate to actually pay for shipping.
I picked up AE 3 for $15.00, but to be honest it's on my unopened pile, which was getting smaller, but has now increased due to drops and this coupon. It did, however, get decent reviews from most sites, and mags.

Rise of the Kasai is a good game but there really aren't too many improvements over its prequel and it kinda feels like an expansion pack. Just saying, its good but plays like something from 2002.

[62t]

the coupon wont work on Rise of the Kasai since it is already $5

It makes it hard to find it in-store from the website when it's listed as "No Store Pickup", since there's no link to the in-store inventory control system.

Jak X should be $19.99 across the board. Did it come up as $29.99 in the computer, or just the shelf tag?

Looked for Puyo Pop Fever today, and the BB employee went so far as to look it up on the website :roll: Yeah, I certainly couldn't have done that from home. So, yeah, no luck, but I doubt it's around many places anymore.

[dragonjud]

Went back today to pick up some penny guides, and noticed that the local store (probably YMMV) is running a blue dot special. It's 20% off the item, which for the most part works about the same as the coupon. I tried using the coupon on those items, but it wouldn't work (the 20% was causing an override on each instance). Some of the items with blue dots were:
Logitech Xbox wireless controllers (special white edition),
some xbox360 faceplates,
other games like Jak X (last copy in store), Sly 3, Geist (GC), and a few others.

[Yusuke-Urameshi-]

Either the employees at your Bestbuys are really lenient or the ones I go to here in Los Angeles are really shitty. When I tried to get them to give me the 5 dollar difference back, they told me stuff like I could not use copies of the coupons since they had different SKU's and whatever else garbage they could come up with to not give me the difference back.

When I told them that I would like to return it and use the coupon on each one as I rebuy them, they told me that they can only use the coupon once since it says one per membership is valid. After a good 5 minutes of arguing, I felt that all this to save a couple of bucks is not worth it so I just returned the games. That's probably a blessing in disguise though as the games would just collect dust anyway.

Sorry for the rant but after hearing your positive experiences, I thought my Bestbuy would follow suit. Unfortunately they displayed the usual crappy Bestbuy customer service. While their prices are excellent, god help you if you need actual help aside from the routine stuff such as making a return.

[psunami]

I finally picked up Tecmo Classic Arcade for $5. Thanks for the info on the coupon. I'm just debating picking up a few more titles before the whole thing is done.

[Justin42]

I've been going to Best Buy every day for the last week or so (it's a short walk from my work at lunch) with this coupon and looking around for the $9.99 games and such. The guy working the door is starting to look at me funny and really looking at my receipts when I'm leaving, but hasn't said a word. (it's the same guy who tried to bust me for taking 3 of the Xbox 360 launch DVD coupons.. ;) I know he thinks I'm up to no good... nope, just a devil customer reporting for duty!)

You don't have to let him look in your bag/at your receipt you know. Just tell him "It's OK, there's no need." and walk past without a second glance. This should work 99% of the time.
From "the crimedoctor (http://www.crimedoctor.com/loss_prevention_3.htm):"

Are Door Bag Searches Legal?

Yes, as long as the inspection is voluntary. No, if the bag check is involuntary or coerced. This is a rather fine legal distinction that is subject to misunderstanding and abuse. Basically, nothing in the law gives the merchant the right to detain a customer for the purpose of searching a shopping bag unless there is a reasonable suspicion of retail theft. See my web page on Shoplifting: Detention & Arrest (http://www.crimedoctor.com/shoplifting2.htm) for more details
A customer can refuse to have their bag checked and simply walk out the door past the bag checker. Hopefully the bag checker has been trained to know that they cannot force anyone to submit to a bag search without cause. This is important because the expectation of the bag checker is that all bag contents have been purchased. The worst thing that could happen is that an aggressive bag checker would forcibly detain or threaten a customer who refused to comply with the voluntary search.

Haha, yeah, I know the two guys that generally work the door recognize me by now. Luckily (or unfortunately?) I almost always buy SOMETHING when I go to Best Buy, so they don't see me just wander in and out of the store without making purchases often.

[Justin42]

I know they're not really necessary but I don't feel like making enemies at that store (They're always polite). Fry's, on the other hand, I usually do just walk past. What's funny is the other customers are usually more upset than the door people. ;) (as you walk past a huge line of people waiting to get their receipts checked)

[Roufuss]

I know they're not really necessary but I don't feel like making enemies at that store (They're always polite).

You mean the BB door people aren't necessary? Those are loss prevention people... that podium, at least in the stores I've been to (and worked at) has about 16 camera monitors in it.

Probably watching you the whole time you're in the store.

By "they" I meant door checks, not people. They can only force you to submit to a door check if they have some idea you're up to something. Of course, I'm sure if you threw enough of a fit that could be twisted to mean they had "just cause" and were even more valid in attempting to check you.

But this is going really off topic.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned somewhere in here, but I guess I didn't look hard enough.

Can these $5 coupons be used on sale price items? I know the GCC will not work for sale items, but I was hoping this one would. I'd like to use it on Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff tomorrow, but it's a sale item this week.

?

GGC has always worked on sale items... I've never had a problem with it, ever. The coupon says it can't, but the register will take it off no problem. The last time I used one was when DDR Extreme 2 was $30 on sale, GGC'ed it to $25. I'd imagine the coupon can be used no problem as well.

I was going to use it on Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff, but I'll wait until it hits $5 which is what its worth.

[GunstarRed]

^^^Maybe the GCC didn't work for me last time because it was a Reward Zone members' only sale for Sims 2: Open for Business. I guess they considered that a "special offer". When I tried to use the GCC, the computer automatically put the game back to full price and took it off of the original price which would have ended up costing more than the RZ price. So maybe the GCC works on sale prices, but not RZ only sale prices.

Oh, yeah, that won't work, because when they package the prices they can only package one price. It's why two coupons together won't stack, either.

But a sale item rings up at the sale price automatically, so you can stack a coupon.

[Link127]

AARRRGGGHHHHH!!! sometimes BB really pisses me off. i went there to snag penny guides, and i got some stupid young girl who was "in a mood." she was giving me a hard time about using 2 of the RZ $5 off coupons since i also wanted to get 2 games today. she would only let me use one, and went on and on about how "it's illegal to make copies of this coupon" and "only one per membership."

i tried mentioning about how they are right on THEIR OWN FRIGGIN WEBSITE!!! and i did not make copies, i just printed them.

when i put the other coupon away she wouldnt stop. "you wont be able to use that, usually the codes on these are the same and they wont let you use another."

i am getting fed up at this store anymore, but im reminded of times like last time i was in my BB, the nice lady cashier that time let me use 6 coupons at one time. she didnt care.

end rant.

[Lowkrow]

Thanks OP!
I Scored Tales of Phantasia for $5 after using the coupon and giftcards :).

[eau]

I guess as long as the register doesn't need to recompute the price (eg, 2 for $30, or some RZ member special) , the $5 or GCC coupon can be used on a sale item.

[Skylander7]

I'm willing to bet that this question has been asked, but I haven't seen it on the past 3 or 4 pages that I've looked for the answer in the post. Can it be combined with Reward Zone certificates and the current 2 for $30 special? I'm wanting to snag God of War and some other game on the cheap. If not, I'll pick up a PC game or something with the gift certs and coupon.

No to combining the coupon with the 2 for $30 sale.
Yes to combining the coupon with RZ certs.

[GunstarRed]

I swear everytime I use one of these coupons (or any printed Best Buy coupon), the cashier is always bewildered and often thinks it's a fake, especially with that "No copies accepted" small print on there. You would think after a few days of the coupon, they would have at least seen one or two of them by now! I would truly be shocked if I ever get a cashier who knew about a coupon beforehand and how to properly apply it.

[highwaypatrolman]

scored the last copy of resident evil (gcn) for $9.99 at my local best biscuit. thanks, op.

Shit. Just saw this thread; all the good games are gone now, huh?
If you are talking about the clearance games, the answer is probably yes.

You can still use the $5 off coupon any games though, and there are quite a number of games cheaper than $19.99 that you cannot otherwise apply the GCC on :)

[foundation]

Picked up Genji. Thanks OP.

[thebob101]

I used the coupon today and the young girl at the register questioned where I got it. She said she didn't know if it would work, so I finally asked her to just scan it and see. She wasn't happy when she read the screen and it took $5 off the game. It almost seemed like she was pissed that it worked.

Actually I think it's good this way. If they were as informed as us CAG's, we would probably never get any deals due to them (Evil Best Buy Workers) getting all the deals for themselves, or being prepared to deny coupons due to the fine print.

BTW, I plan to pillage the BB at the beach this weekend. :bouncy:

Another Copy of Silent Hill 4 (PS2) $5 AC
Just cause it was there.

Also found the last copy of Nightmare Before Christmas: Pumpkin King (GBA) for $1.99

Not a bad haul for $12 + tax

Used two coupons, in seperate transactions with no problem.
Paid with gift cards so no cash out of pocket.

[coolz481]

Does anyone know off-hand whether Best Buy lowered Metroid Prime 2 (GC) to $19.99? I want to use the $5 coupon, but mine had shelf tags listing it at $49.99. But Killer7 had a shelf tag of $29.99, so maybe the whole shelf is out-of-date. Any info is appreciated. Unfortunately, Metroid Prime 2 doesn't show up on bestbuy.com anymore, so I have no way of checking there. Thanks.

It was $29.99 when they dropped games to $1.99 a few weeks ago. I remember because I saw a copy of Metroid Prime with a demo of MP 2 that they were trying to sell to me for Metroid Prime 2's price ($29.99-- it didn't ring up at the floor scanner). Speaking of which, all best buy's should have floor scanners now so use those to check on the price of games instead of going to cashiers.

[Justin42]

Has anyone tried UMD movies with this coupon? I know they're "movies" and not "games" but I'm just wondering if BB's system might recognize them as PSP games and take the money off... there are a few that $14.99 is a bit too high for me but $9.99 would be tempting...

[DuckM4n]

Just as a reminder to all the coupon expire TOMORROW April 15th so use them up before they are all gone.

Man if only cag was up this morning i woulda gotten RE 1 ::sigh::

I went to buy Tomb Raider for 360 and the bitchy girl at best buy said that it was a fake coupon and that she wouldn't except it. I was like I got it from your own site how the hell can it be fake and she just gave me attitude. So the manager had to come and we ended up going to the nearest pc and I had to login on the rewardzone site just to make them look stupid. Damn I worked so hard for $5.

[Mojimbo]

I shrunk the coupon down but retained the original bar code size so that it will scan as good as the original. Here's a 3X PDF:

I apologize for the file size(I think it's something like 5 MB) but I don't know how to optimize PDFs and the JPG version I tried wouldn't print out at the right proportions, anyone is welcome to improve upon that. Like I said, although this version is smaller, it should work just as good as the original. I personally tried it out today when I picked up Silent Hill 4 and it worked fine.

yup, it's like that sometimes. similar thing happened to me about a month ago. i purchased a GGC and put $5 on it. turn it around to use it, and the same cashier goes, 'nope, sorry, it's expired.' huh? i just bought it from you. needless to say, it involved a department supervisor and the store manager, but i got the $5 off; too much hassle though. (why she had to look so upset doing a $5 override?)

After going to one BB and not finding a damn thing to get with the coupon, I went to another today and scored the following, all for $4.99: Genji, Geist, Operation Spy, and Frogger PSP. They had no trouble scanning all 4 and then the coupons. AFTER she scanned them and the "accept package" dialog came up she read the fine print and said we'd have to ring them up separately. I asked if she could just try it anyway since they were already rung up, so she did, and of course it worked (saving us both time and hassle) :D.

I also bought a stack of penny guides and some 20-something asshat guy came over during the transaction and said "yeah, we're not supposed to sell these" and then interrogated me over how I knew they were a penny. (did I work at Best Buy, if not how did I know, etc - I just resorted to the "internets" as my answer :D). Then he looked at all of them, and said from now on I could only buy 1 of each (I had 2 of like 2 different ones, all singles of the rest). Said I need to leave more for others to buy. First of all, there were TONS of each. Second, they aren't marked on sale so you have to know about them, and third, many of these have been sitting there UNTOUCHED for 3 weeks now (like Jak X, Ratchet, PGR 3, etc). And finally, to point out the absurdity (and contradiction) of his statement, as he said "they aren't supposed to sell these" - so in general, it's a good idea to snap them up as they are just as likely to end up trashed soon enough. The other Best Buy in town gets rid of them BEFORE they drop so you can never find anything there.

Anyway, just thought it was funny I got hassled over the guides but not over using 4 of the coupon at once. He actually glanced at the coupons and didn't say anything - I think he thought it was my list of penny guides and wanted to see where it came from). Also, this is why I always try to get in lines with female cashiers. The 20-something guys take themselves WAY too seriously :D.

Edit - now I think the guy is a double-asshat. I just checked out what I bought, and I only got 2 of ONE guide (Condemned), and singles of all the rest. Yeah, way to admonish me for all that hoarding, buddy :D.

Almost used this again today when I noticed both GC Army Men games for $10; luckily I held off since Gamerankings doesn't give either of them over 60.

I went through the same thought process. But, check out this thread:

Apparently the UPCs have changed on these games. I think they were reprinted (though why they changed the UPC I don't know). I've seen both at Target for $9.99 as well.

I thought of getting one and checking it's GR trade-in value but I knew that would be a hassle the UPC doesn't match up.

After just picking up a few $5.96 games (one of which is Atari Retro Classics) at an out-of-the-way Circuit City, I found the Atari game stickered $9.99 amidst other cheap and not-so-cheap games on a table at Best Buy. Didn't seem to be any pattern about why these particular games were the ones on the table, since several weren't "budget" prices. Anyway, after a manual SKU entry in the computer by the manager (why's the trainee cashier working the only open lane?!?!) it seems the sticker on the game (and assumedly the other two copies on the table) belonged to Tiger Woods. The Atari game is still $19.99 in the system, but they gave it to me for $5 AC since it was stickered wrong. The Circuit City-bought copy is getting returned.

Yeah, yeah, all that for 97-cents...and RZ points!

Farewell $5 off Reward Zone coupon. You served me well and will be greatly missed.

I was able to pick up just about everything I wanted with it, so at least I got in on it while it lasted. I bought Killer 7, Tecmo Classic Arcade, EyeToy: Operation Spy, Geist, Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, Sigma Star Saga, Super Mario Advance, Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff and a few others for some friends. Only one I missed out on that I still wanted was Taito Legends. I hesitated and when I went back the next day they were all gone.

Thank you again RZ Coupon. Fare thee well.

good that u didn't bother cause both of them have new UPC barcode # comparing to the ones on wherehouse.com

they are most likely reprints and won't get you 18 dollars
Phew, no regrets then.

Why the hell would they reprint those games?

Yep, this had to be one of the best timed (with all the cheap games)/most used coupons I can remember. I just got back a bit ago from a last BB run to get Suzuki TT Superbikes for $5... ended up also using it with Frantix, Gretzky PSP, Gretzky 06 PS2, Eyetoy: Operation Spy, FZero GP Legend, Madden 05 (DS), Tiger Woods 05 (DS), Pirates (PC) and Odama over the last 2 weeks and across 3 stores (with multiple visits per store since they seemed to be restocking quite a bit through all this).

Thanks, Best Buy! ;) I like the 8 games for $40 deals!
