I just joined. When can I expect the email with the new digital magazine?

I pre-ordered Tomb Raider online if I sign up for the Unlocked Membership can I still get the $20GC? Also do I still get the pre-order bonus when I pick it up or is it emailed to me?

I am not quite sure what this mean.

If Best Buy lowers a price on a product (online or in-store) we will allow price-matching up to 15 days following the original purchase. This applies to all customers including Reward Zone Premier Silver members. Please note: After a transition period for Reward Zone Premier Silver members through April 18, 2013, the 15 day period of the Price Match policy goes into effect (post-purchase – Best Buy only).

Does that mean if i buy a game the coming tuesday, I can still price match till 4/17?

Yes; if you can preorder in-store still (dunno if the kiosk will let you) and you do so Sunday or Monday, you'll get the $20 in RZ points.

Thanks mate! I'll swing by the store tomorrow. I just got lazy!

How long is the user ID for the magazine? Trying to determine if it's one of the numbers on the receipt. Trying to access the magazine and coupons. No emails yet.

Is the post purchase price match initially extended for Reward Zone Premier Silver customers? Yes. Reward Zone Premier Silver customers will receive a 60 day post purchase price match to Best Buy's prices for purchases that occur on or before April 18, 2013. Reward Zone Premier Silver customers will receive a 15 day post purchase price match to Best Buy's prices for purchases that occur on or after April 19, 2013.

Premiere Silver members still have a little over a month before the PM nerf hits us. Getting a rep over the phone to understand this may be ymmv.

Can you provide a link to that source? I'd like to have it handy when I call in to PM. Thanks.

Best Buy Low Price Guarantee FAQs

I also added a section with info relating to the new PM policy in the OP.

I'm confused... so the PM policy is going from 60 to 15 days? If so that is completely awful and ruins the point of Silver...

Thanks for the link htz.

Read the OP. PM other competitors at the time of sale only; 15 days to PM applies only to Best Buy prices. Silver is still useful because you still have 60 days to return and you are still earning 25% more points. But yes, all we Silver members will miss 60 days to PM.

Hey Dund3r,
Don't get too excited like I did, I just realize the extended price matching period for silver members only works on Best Buy's prices. If you want to price match a competitor you still have to do it when you purchase the product. So essentially Best Buy already nerfed competitor price matching for everyone starting today.

Reward Zone Premier Silver customers will receive a 60 day post purchase price match to Best Buy's prices for purchases that occur on or before April 18, 2013.

*sigh* So I'll have to hope I can PM Kmart's $15 gaming coupon for Tomb Raider, or failing that, hope that BBY has it on sale within two months...which might happen, given how quickly Deus Ex: Human Revolution dropped in price.

That does make everything clearer, though; thanks for pointing that out.

Ok, thanks!!

ugh...you are right - on first glance I definitely read it as allowing PMing to all competitors until April 18! Well, I think I'll still buy games from this promo on Day 1 until pre-April 18, but I am a little more hesitant now. Thanks for the heads up.

Definitely a good news/bad news situation...

Got a Best Buy question:

I want to buy a Zodiac blu-ray, but it's backlogged online, and my local store doesn't have one. However, some of the other stores around do (they're 100-150 miles away though). Does Best Buy do store-to-store orders? Or will I have to put in an online order and wait for more stock?

Thanks in advance.

Note: Amazon is almost the same price ($11.24 vs $10 @ BB) but I don't have anything else to get right now for free shipping.

Edit: Nevermind, the BB price went up to $13. Guess I need to find something else to buy @ Amazon.

Is anyone's crysis 3 1000 point bonus pending yet?

New question:

Dead Island Riptide steelbook. It's giving me the option to pre-order the game for store pickup and ship the steelbook in the mail (no pickup option for the steelbook). Should I be wary of that? In other words, should I set both to ship via mail just in case, or is there no problem shipping one item and holding the other in store? I haven't done an order like this before.
