nice! extra $25 credit is sweet.

Is the offer still appearing on the dashboard? I haven't seen it and my card hasn't arrived yet - I'm afraid the offer is going to end before it gets here (hopefully next week).

It was there on mine last night. Not sure though if it stays if you claim it though. I see no reason why not since it is good till 12/31.

I saved in the middle of chapter 6 because it was late and continued the next day, and the Achievement never registered. I guess I have to go back and play the whole chapter again.

Has anyone already got the $10 credit by sync the Amex card and xbox live?

Yes. I got it yesterday, synced a few days earlier.

I would agree with this. While i did it on my own originally I played through all the Spartan Ops mission later online and some of those chapters we were finishing in like 7 minutes. A few teammates who are highly ranked will just make it a cakewalk for you.

Has the $10 been posted to your credit card statement or just showed up in your email? Thanks.

My just posted. I checked my balance and notice that AMEX owe me $1.01.

Sorry for my ignorance, why is everyone mentioning Spartan Ops? Are the requirements for 25$ and $50 to finish "Operation Completion" and "wake up John" achievements?

Did you not read the OP?

I know I'm not in the majority but this game just isn't my cup of tea. I actually prefer Call of Duty if we're talking shooters here. I'm just powering through this game to get my Best Buy credits. 1/3rd of the way through so far. Loading up on Pepsi and chips tonight to blaze through this game. Breaktime = CAG

For me it was mostly the Prometheans not being really fun to kill. They are like bullet sponges.

So yes i have obtained Spartan Ops today, do I now just go to BB and buy a Gift Card for 100$ then my Amex card will get credited for 50$ eventually?

Anyways, gotta love the 35$ credit )

A few days ago I just had my son blaze through a Spartan Ops mission. It took him like 10 minutes tops. I got the achievement and haven't gotten anything yet. John187 - I think you have to wait for the offer and accept it before buying anything. I'm all set to get my son an iPad Mini for his birthday (early Dec) so I'm waiting on the offer before I do that. I also have about $100 in RZ credits (mostly from My Coke Rewards). So all that will make it nice and cheap. (And before anyone says it, yeah, I'd much rather only spend $330 than $500 for the better iPad since this will be for my kids for the most part).

Wait for your confirmation email before buying anything.

Well I ran through the campaign on Normal today. It took me about 8 hours (3 hours,break, then 5 hours) I never played Halo 2 + 3. I started with Reach, ODST and then played Halo CE Anniversary, but that game while technically great just is too long. I plan on playing Halo 3 eventually but since the story is not the best I am not sure when. Halo 4 campaign was fun but again the halo games suffer from a lot of repeating. The game is gorgeous though. I am surprised they were able to make a game that looks that good on the 360. New weapons are fun and new enemies were fine but again they just got old after awhile. Overall the campaign was an 8/10 for me. I thought the story was really good in this though and the CG cut scenes were tops. The set pieces were pretty spectacular also.

I like the multiplayer of Halo 4 a ton. It is a lot better than Reach. Normally I suck but for some reason this MP comes more natural to me. Too many vehicles on maps but still a 9.5/10 for MP.

Now hopefully the $25 credit comes and I get the email for the $50 at BBY. So the game cost me $63 in trade credit, I am getting $20 in RZ, $23 for my DLC, and $85 from Amex. So in the end I get $61 and I get to kee or trade the game. Awesome.

Sorry if it's a repeat guys, I read through the OP and a couple pages and didn't see it. If I already go the achievement, am I still eligible? Doesn't matter which achievement, just in general. Thanks guys!
