He said i can come in on launch day and snag the PS3 version off the shelf maybe but i couldn't get the PS3 DLC. Ugh.

The card is universal isn't it? The one I grabbed has a barcode for every platform on the back.

Right but i put the $5 deposit down specifically on the 360 version i believe..?

So, I did this exact thing today: take the card and receipt to cust service, and they should refund the $5 and scan the PS3 barcode on the back. I did this today with no issues.

Originally Posted by slowdive21 Actually I believe the time increases the more you add to the card. The first transaction is about 3 minutes. Every other transaction adds about 2 minutes for it to process: 3 mins, 5 mins, 7 mins, 9 mins, etc. This is an approximation.

I can only relay my experience. I've done 20+ pic contributions, usually in bunches of 3-5 gcs, one at a time, of varying amounts. I've only had 2 take longer than 5 minutes to process from the time I placed the order. They were in process for over 5 weeks before I decided to cancel and replace those orders and they were completed in under 5 minutes. Besides, it shouldn't take a few hours to buy a gift card so there's no reason it should take that long for a reloadable one.

When I go pick up AC 3, if I use, lets says $20 in rewards, will it say on the receipt I paid $39.99 for the game and underneath that saying I used $20 in rewards? I feel like they might give me a problem when I try to match TRUs price or any other price matches. I just don't want to end up with all this BB credit. I rather use it on the games I am getting the next couple of weeks, but I do not want trouble PMing. I know one person said it should be no issue, can anyone else confirm this. Thanks.

Nope. It will show the game for $59.99 then it will show under that RZ cert ($20) and then the final price.

It should NOT affect you PMing at all.

Ok, I have a buy 2 get 1 free for pre-owned from the welcome back. I know I can't apply it on line but could I order 3 games, have it shipped to store, then return them after I back them up and rebuy them with my coupon or would that be something that is YMMV?

Are we suppose to get the MoH dlc via email or is it inside the game case?

The map pack is in all limited editions, the online pass includes it, and bf4 beta

You can but don't actually pick up the items you ordered online.

There is a 2 hour (I think?) wait time after you pick up an online order so you can't return or exchange it for a couple of hours.

Instead of wasting a few hours, just go up to the counter tell them you want to cancel the pick -up order and rering it up in-store. They'll either give you the item to ring at the nearest cash register or rering it up then and there, depending on how busy they are.

If they bother asking why (most of the time they wont), you can either tell them the truth (you want to use the coupon) or tell them you wanted to change payments on the order (use GC instead of Credit Card you had on file).

^ last time I had to return/rebuy they said I had to wait 24 hours.

Thanks for the quick answer!!

it's been 4 days and my 1,000 MoH points aren't pending.. did the cashier do it wrong?

They will tell you that, but I usually go to the nearby Costco, have lunch, and it's ready for return rebuy.

I PO'd AC3 months before I joined Unlocked. Am I still eligible for the $20 RZ? Or should I redo it?

It can take up to 30 days. If you pre-ordered the game are are RZGCU and it doesn't show up in 30 days, contact Customer Care via phone.

How does BB handle pre order bonuses? When I pre order online they were sending me an email. How will it work if I pre order and purchase in store?

It should print on the receipt when you pick up the game. And a few hours later you should also get an e-mail later with the same code on it that printed on the receipt.

p.s.

My MOH points are already pending on my account.

You'll be fine. You just need to be unlocked when you pick up your game or join on the same receipt.

Yes.

It's addressed in the first question of the FAQ's in the OP.
