Why not just check? It is available though.

What games have/will have pre-order in-store bonuses for them? Should I pre-order now, or do I forfeit those items if they show up at a later date?

Also, if I pre-order the same game on separate consoles, do I get the bonus points for each purchase...Or only the first?

Unless there are some awesome pre-order bonuses, I think I'm going to keep my $45 Newegg pre-orders on some of these titles. I've been diappointed on not being able to price match Boderlands 2, XCOM, or Dishonored so far from anywhere. I don't consider the $20 in RZ certificates $20 off either.

Only one certificate per title. So only on the first.

Boo, thank you for the response.

Is Best Buy not going to carry the God of War CE? Or is it just not up on their website yet?

The games I want on this offer aren't very spread out like this fall so I don't know what I'll be getting. This fall was sweet because most games were a month apart so I could use a cert on the following game, and was usually done with the previous game at that point so I would trade it in with all the bonuses they were having. Essentially it was like getting a free game a month. This current offer I would actually have to buy some with real money (God no, not that) so I think some of these are going to just be rentals.

Was looking at Last of Us, Stick of Truth, Splinter Cell, Bioshock, and Riptide.

Has anyone seen their Halo 4 RZ certs post yet? I'm not even seeing the points/purchase hit my account yet (bought @ midnight release).

I'll give it a few more days until I start to inquire with their CS, but I was wondering if I was in the same boat as others or in the water.

People calm down! It's been a week. It can take up to 30 days for them to pend.

People wonder why it takes days to get their preorder DLC. It's because of people continuously sending them messages about their points "problem" that eat up a majority of their time.

Just wondering can you use reward zone credit or gift cards to purchase say Call of Duty black ops 2 and still get the $20 reward certificate? Thanks so much

Yep!

You could check to see if the transaction has been posted by clicking on report missing points. I guess it's easier to come on here and post though. CS won't do anything for you until it's been 30 days. To answer your question, no my points are only pending right now (not that I expected them to post a week after the game is released like a lot of people on here).

I can only speak for myself, but I can't imagine BBY will continue this promotion quarter after quarter if they continue to get calls, emails, questions in-store, and PMs regarding this points issue - all that requires people responding to these requests and that costs money and I can't imagine they're making a bunch of it off this promotion (even if the wholesale cost of Halo 4 is $40, selling it for $60 with a $20 GC doesn't leave much room for profit). If you can't wait the 30 days max specified before contacting them, you shouldn't pre-order the game. It's clear that there's a 30 day window - it isn't a mystery it may take that long to receive the points - it may even take several days to a week to see those points pending, even if the other points for the transaction are already visible as pending. Reading post after post of people asking where their points are days after release or even, in one case, days before the game actually is released, gets tiresome.

I came here after I checked my Rewards Zone page, hence me saying "I'm not even seeing the points/purchase hit my account yet." I misread the points/pending report because the total # of pending points is at 90. Clicking on the purchase link however reveals points and the 1000 pre-order points.

They're pending, and my question is answered.

I came here because I thought I had a problem, and I know this community KNOWS what is going on from shared experience, and I also come here to share knowledge where I can. I don't come here to ask questions that I can easily find with a google search, or without doing some research. In this case I made a mistake, and I own that, but I'd appreciate it if you would check your attitude.

Wow!!! I'm in for all of them.. And Gamestop was never heard from again!!!

If I had pre-ordered online and fully paid for Black Ops II on 9-28, over 40 days ago, shouldn't the points be listed by now as "pending?" I don't even see a transaction for it on my Reward Zone account, but I do see it on my Bestbuy.com account.

No. Because you didn't purchase the item yet. They only put a hold on the funds TO purchase it when it releases.


The clock starts when you pickup the game. When you pickup the game BBY makes an official claim to the funds and the transaction takes place.

If you meant just seeing the preorder in your RZ account (not the points etc) then I honestly don't know. I preorder exclusively in store.

I see. That is what I thought until I read a few post up top stating that people do see that their points are listed as "pending" for Black Ops II.

Now do they give you the pre-order bonuses when you pickup Black Ops II (the dogtag and the DLC code for Nuke Town 2025)?

Do CEs apply to the $20 promo? I know Amazon never does, but does Best Buy?

Yeah, they normally do.
