Awesome. I'll definitely be doing that.

Please ignore. I was patently incorrect, please disregard. Egift cards will apparently work fine, it'll just take a bit to get the email.

If they dont have Amazon GCs then look for "Amazon Kindle" GCs which are the same as regular GCs

Can I do things out for order? For example, can I buy $100 worth of stuff at Best Buy, then get finish a Spartan Ops mission, and still get credit? I haven't beaten the campaign yet and I don't want to play Spartan Ops until that's done, but I do need to pick up my BLOPS 2 pre-order. I might as well throw in another game for essentially free.

No. You need to finish a mission, then get the email. If you do it beforehand it will not count. The email can take a few days.

If it's plot spoilers you're worried about, the first mission contains nothing of the sort.

Gah, the wait for this dang email is tense! Got the achievement yesterday and I'm hoping to get the Best Buy coupon confirmation in time to use it on the 3DS XL sale they have going on this week.

Egift cards work, but I'd rather hedge my bets and have a physical card sent, so I bought one. That shows as coming from bestbuy.com only, so there's no way this screws it up. Now to find what I want...

I got the achievement but no confirmation via email. Kind of disappointing but I have faith in AMEX. This is about my sixth amex sync deal (used them on twitter/FB) and it'll be handled properly.

Wrong!

You can install disc two via online download. I rented from Redbox last night and downloaded disc 2 after the install.

this is wrong. you can install that stuff from the 2nd disc OR you can download it. I rented the game and got the achievement as well as playing a bunch of other multiplayer.

Will a $100 Best Buy GC work?

I bought two $50 Amazon Kindle gift cards and got the email from AMEX that it went through. Applied them to my account and can use them for just about anything that Amazon sells (not just Kindle related items).

I already got the $50 off $100 confirmation email. But I haven't got the $10 credit for enrolling. Anyone else has the same experience?

Spartan Ops can be played single player, why would you need Xbox gold to do it?

It's still multiplayer as far as the Xbox is concerned. You just don't have anyone else in your party. That way they can charge you for gold.

Ah. I wouldn't have guessed that since I used the 2 week code before trying it. I suppose that means it can be clarified to be 'you need xbox live gameplay to play online', and not gold. You DO need gold for the 'upload a file to your file share' achievement, though, as irrelevant as that is...

Stupid question but this will work on Black Friday correct?

So $35 already and another $50 from this? Really a crazy good deal, I have to do this ASAP.

Barely got time to do the campaign playthru on Sunday. And did Spartan Ops yesterday.

Bit of a longshot but hoping to get qualified for the Bestbuy promo by this Sunday. It would line up perfectly with the cash I'm gonna drop on the WiiU

Just to clarify, you got the email that you qualified for the "spend 100 get 50 credit" before you went out to buy the gift cards right?
