Went to do some trade-ins during lunch break.
Base:
Skyrim - $16 (I hope there will be a GOTY edition or I will regret my decision)
Deus Ex - $5 (Beaten it after blowout 1.0, great game)
Rage - $5 (Not $6 as listed on the website, sad)
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - $8 (Finally got through the last boss, which was insane. What is up with games and ing crappy endings these days...?)

i see rage tiv for $5, where do you see it for $6? i never had problems with tiv on the website reflecting what they give you in store. i guess i am lucky

^It was $6 this morning, and I got excited because it jumped up $1, but now it's back to $5.

The website states any 3DS Console purchase gets Steel Diver for sale so I went into the store and they just did an override on my purchase. Rather have a game than that damn bulky case.

Is the current trade-in bonus 100% or 50%? This is what it says on the front page, right now:

When confused by the OP, just go to the BB website and onto the page for game trade-ins and it'll say what the current promo(s) are.

Scroll down to the 'This Weeks' Offers' section.

I got two of my new PS3 games in from amazon, thank you best buy 100% trade in bonus. I bought Heavy Rain Directors Cut and 3D Dot Game Hero's for $36.94 still have around $38 + change left. I found 3D Dot Game Hero's cheaper on gamestop and some other site, so they issued me a $5 promotional certificate that will automaticcaly be applied to my accout on my next purchase at checkout.

My reward zone page is showing a SILVER summer bonus. This was from a trade in transaction:

When Best Buy first started doing trade ins, I once spend over 2.5 hours doing a single trade. At that time, if you did more than 40-50 games at a time, the computer wouldn't let you finish the trade. The employee tried to run my 100+ game trade in twice before he called someone (a call which took 20 min) to find out that he needed to break up the trade into smaller lots. Thankfully he had a super good attitude and I didn't have anywhere else to be.

The store manager was staring us down and sent people over to check on her. Made my gf feel like crap. So she got her giftcard and left. So today I go in and confront the manager about this. I'm told to my face I've stole thousands from the company, and I'm not allowed to trade in baned. I told her it was my gf doing trades not me. Again, then I'm told I was told by district LP I can't trade. So I told her I never was. Anyhow after this I leave. She then goes on to tell my friend that works there that I'm a felon, and I'm under investigation and crap. I'm seriously annoyed right now. She was slandering me to who all knows who, and calling me a felon? Sure all the trades may be frowned apon, but it's not a felony. I only did what the system left me. Anyone else who was a major flipper get this treatment, and or threaten you are under investigation? I want to call her HR and complain about slander, but I'm wondering if I should just drop it? Anyone?

hahahahhaahahahahahha wow

I heard about that, but it never happened to me when doing the spindles of 75+ PS2 sports games. Maybe they fixed it by mid 2011.

how did you turn a Best Buy gift card into an Amazon gift card?

By buying kindle cards that work as amazon credit.

I thought you couldn't get those with just trade in credit? I asked about getting them one time when I have $50 from trades and was told no.

It's YMMV. The system allows it but it's up to the employee.

Ahh thanks DC, nothing I really would need it for but would be nice to be able to.

I asked at CS and the guy said that employees weren't able to so maybe I'll try this week.
