Anyone else see on BestBuy Reward Zone site that this promotion now says "Expires Soon" on it?

I see that too... odd

does the double reward points thing from 2 facebook accounts still work?

no it doesn't tk

(my points for today's poll show up in my rewardzone, however i'm still at the same points i was yesterday)

(i love this app, and the audience rewards thing... between both i'll have plenty of $$$ to get South Park Stick of Truth when it comes out, FREE!)

Here's a sorta on topic question

Is it possible to apply these certs to pre ordered games?

I pre ordered the new Tomb Raider CE a while ago and deposited $5 on it. I went in a few days ago to completely pay it off so when it was released I could just go in and pick it up. Three BB employees had no idea how to do that and then told me I would have to wait until the actual release date to pay it off.

I was just wondering if there was a way I could go online and apply a few certs to get the price of the pick up to be lowered.

The certs are making me spend a lot more cash at bb. They stole some business I was going to give to amazon.

Bb is losing money but hopefully they realize that they are making money off of some people like me.

It is not possible to use reward certificates towards a preorder. Period. Also, as of right now anyway, when you go to pick up the game you can't apply reward certificates towards the purchase. You'll have to pay for the whole thing, then they will do some sort of adjustment using the certificates and give you back the cash value of the certificates.

I had to do this when picking up Metal Gear the other day and several other people reported the same thing in the Preorder promo thread. It is annoying for sure. I assume they are working on a fix for this (but who knows).

thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

When I used my account on a different computer, I got zero points for the poll. Is this normal?

I find it odd how people are saying using rewards when picking up a pre-order does not work. I did it with Dead Space 3 no problem and my cousin had no issues with Metal Gear Rising this past Tuesday.

Picking up is one thing, actually preordering and paying off prior to release is what some people are asking about, which seems to be a problem.

Gee, I wonder why they'll end this promotion.

Yea, it sucks that there's always people who are going to abuse things like this but its BB's job to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen. I wonder how much money they've lost already, probably a lot.

there really is no reason to abuse this. It's so easy to get $5 in certs, I don't know how long they're gonna keep doing this program. Every 10 days, you can redeem. All you have to do is find other people to do this too that have no interest in the certs and take theirs. I have mine and my wife and 2 of my daughters do it for me. That's $20 in certs every 10 days, $60 a month. That's practically a free game every month for just clicking a few times.

I'm sure that's not what BB intended for people to do with this program...but okay. Plus you're not allowed to use certs that aren't in your name.

Um..."Also, as of right now anyway, when you go to pick up the game you can't apply reward certificates towards the purchase"

Today's poll is only worth 10 points. And I got 0

yeah, 10 points for me from today's poll. Still, 10 points is better than nothing so I'll take it.

I'm still getting 25 points, but the app won't let me do the design a kitchen thing, the timer keeps changing
