Already had my 20.00 post from Borderlands and used it. I'm shocked it posted so quickly. I thought it takes 30 days?

Just placed my order for Xcom. From the glowing reviews and my silver status, I can't let this one go by. Ended up paying ~$40 out of pocket for expedited shipping after gift card and reward certificates were applied.

Going to try and race through Dishonored as I fear the TIV will drop fast since it's been reported to have very little replay value.

The replay value comes from trying out different approaches to each mission. A couple of the reviewers mentioned they immediately wanted to start the game again and play it a different way once they finished. If you're not interested in that, then it's an 8-15 hour game depending on who you ask.

Anyway, I think rushing through a game saps the fun out of it. I'm getting Dishonored on PC but even if I was getting it on a console, I'd take my time and not even worry about what the TIV was going to be when I'm done.

so my borderlands 2 deluxe vault hunter was a total cluster...
to sum it up.

i preordered online and received it - but no preorder rz credit,
waited and nothing.

i happened to need to buy a vanilla version for my brother that saturday(which was what i was going to use the credit for in the first place).

called about a week ago to find out the status of the credit... and they said it was being processed.

i just got the rz credit applied to the 2nd one i bought without a preorder, not the first.

great job... i feel like returning the deluxe vault hunter edition because it seems like the price i dropping and it will be $50 sooner or later anyways.

hopefully my dishonored preorder will go better since i did it instore.

i think technically it should show up as pending within a week - but actually be a credit to use within 30 days.

If I pre order online, is it a pain to price match later on?

I remember some say yes, but if you preorder in store you have to PM in store. Gas is $4.98 where I live, so...your choice?

Why not just wait for Dishonored to drop in price substantially before buying it so you can enjoy the game and take your time without trying to recoup most of your money back by rushing through it? Or better yet, just rent the game?

It took me 10-15 minutes to get a PM on Madden 13 done over the phone, not a pain by any means.

Mine from 9/18 is still pending with an estimated date of 10/23. I was hoping it would come in time for Dishonored :/

Nope. Definitely posted. I can post a screen cap later.

i received my points for fifa today. on a side note, i was freaking out that my bl2 points weren't posted/on my rz account but then i noticed i received them a couple weeks back and pre ordered it in august..woops haha

Came here to ask but I see the answer.... ALOT of the confusion is caused by how Best Buy credits the bonus 1000 points. I've done 3 games so far, all were pre-ordered online but only NBA 2K13 was actually picked up in the store. I showed the 1000 promo bonus on the shipped items right away but the in-store pickup doesn't show the bonus just the base 118 points. I will just be patient and watch that it does appear. 1118 points on each purchase or about $22.50 each game is sweet. I'm in for this the rest of the year.

Well they were mainly sports games so you can't really beat them lol but being the sports fan I am, I always can't wait to play with the new rosters and graphics, and gameplay before the actual season starts

I'm confused as to how it came to about $22.50 per game?

He get 118 points for the purchase on top of the 1000.

I got that part, but I guess there was a PM for it afterwards.

No, he is getting 1118 points for each purchase.

Finally got my BL2 credit the day before Dishonored.

Fixed it so it makes sense for you. 1118 points = ~$22.50 in RZ credit.
