that is troubling, if you cannot even get your preorder deposit back.

I'm getting both.

it might be they are updating their system again, lol

NBA 2K13 buyers....... Check out what retards are paying for the all-star game and events code on Ebay, $20 and up lol already sold mine tonight. Something that shoulda been in the game anyway it's just retarded.

I am sure it will be fixed, but it was an interesting experience that was annoying. So far I made $15 on it, add-in any price matches since I have 2 months to do it. In the end here is how I see it.

Borderlands 2-$63.59
RE6-$63.59
Dishonored-$63.59
AC3-$63.59
Halo 4-$63.59
TOTAL:$317.95

Credits:
Borderlands 2-$20
RE6-$35 ($15+20)
Dishonored-$20
AC3-$20
Halo 4-$20
TOTAL: $115

Potential Price Match (Cash back not final price):
Borderlands 2-$20
RE6-$20
Dishonored-$20
AC3-$20
Halo 4-$20 (not keeping if it does not get $20 price match)
TOTAL: $100

So in the end I will hopefully pay a total of $103 (included rewardzone credit) for 5 games. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

No order history here either. So this is how Best Buy employees can get in late on Wii U pre-orders! Just kidding, I'm sure its just maintenance, until all my pre-orders get cancelled, then it will be ARMAGEDDON! ;-)

check your best buy rewards thru your mobile app, everything is there

How do you "not" keep halo? Return it?

So anybody with a pitch-in card also have their card wiped clean when you check the balance on your account? Please tell me yes

I would think so since the PM window is the same length of time as the return window. It's not like he wouldn't have other games to play in that time.

When I check, this message appears at the bottom: "There has been a system failure. Please try again later."

So...I guess I'll try again later.

EDIT: Use BBY.com's "Check Gift Card Balance" feature and enter your Pitch-In Card's number and PIN. The correct amount should appear.

Correct. I am going to leave it sealed and since I have 60 days to return it I'll wait till the last week I can and then return it if no price drop happens.

So steal $20 from Best Buy? Niiiiice

Thanks for the quick response, I was scared for a second there.

So you assume that I am going to use the $20 certificate before I return the game? Niiiiice

Well then you would be assuming wrong. I have no intentions of using what I do not pay for.

They will deduct the 1000 bonus points and any other points he earned from buying the game from his RWZ account if he returns it at any time.

You are silver too? Man, everyone I run into these days on CAG is silver

Originally Posted by aircobra I didn't assume that. They won't take away the cert when you return the game. So you'll still have it.

Well if they do that then that is on them. My intent is not to scam them out of anything. I am not stealing anything from Best Buy, they are choosing not to remove the points that are not rightfully mine if I return Halo 4.

Just to be sure, do you guys think halo and COD (vanilla) will be available for pre-order all the way up until their release date? Because I really want to use my FIFA and NBA points on one of the games but since they are blockbuster games I'm afraid they might stop taking preorders. I usually preorder at GameStop for COD and halo so I don't know how BB manages their pre-orders

I think that because they're blockbuster games, there might be more stock set aside for them and so you shouldn't have anything to worry about--their respective Collector's Editions are likelier to have preorders disabled.
