Edit: Just called best buy CS and they have also confirmed that they can't price match it.

Same thing happened at my best buy. Both a manager in the electronics dept and csr confirmed that they couldn't pm the tru deal because it was a promotional bundle. If it was a sale for a specific title, then they could pm it. One of the gaming guys I know was cool with the pm but he had to get approval. When I saw the one and only "Danny downer" manager come by who loves shooting down pms, I knew it would be rejected. Well I just drove down to the nearby tru and got the deal for halo 4 and blops 2.

So is it confirmed that your RZ point balance can go negative?

advanced is correct. I bought the games on separate orders. I just didn't get around to PMing Halo 4 till now. I'm 4/4 on PMing over the phone so I'm satisfied for getting new games for $50 + $20 RZ credit.

Yes. If you want to return the game, just trade it in and take the hit. With the deal, you still make out even or ahead anyway.

Yes. Are you trying to get the points and then return the game? If so, hope you get banned from here and Best Buy.

If that's the case then why do they bother making you wait 30 days? That doesn't make any sense. I was under the impression that the 30 day waiting game was to compensate for returns. If they can just take points away then why do we have to wait to get our points?

Their system is kind of imperfect. The 30 days allows for corrections of possible errors.

Because idiots will find a way to abuse it.

I used my $20 reward cert to preorder blops 2, so my recepit shows a total of $43.xx. Will I still be able to price match to $50 tru deal if my receipt states that I never paid that much in the first place? Anybody had success pming after they had used a reward cert on the original transaction? Thanks.

Could I techinically "pre-order" black ops today and still get the $20?

Technically? No. Any other way? No. The game is out, nothing to "pre-order" now.

I went in with my halo 4 receipt and they pm'd the $30 off for buying two when I bought black ops 2. They didnt want to mess around with applying two $15 price matches so just deducted $30 off the black ops sale. The thing is they made no adjustments to my halo receipt leaving it open to be price matched again if I was feeling like being a jerk. The way I got the adjustment was to go in with halo 4 and black ops 2 on the toys r us checkout screen on my phone where it showed a $30 discount on one of the games for buying them together. If you have not tried yet it is worth a shot for sure.

Spoke with customer service rep since I placed my order online and they are crediting my card back $11.00 for toys r us price match

I was able to PM Borderlands 2 and got $10.88 back, but I noticed it says "Exchange" on the top of the receipt I got and not "Price Match". Hope this doesn't mess with my account, we'll see I guess.

I had no problems PMing Amazon's $49.99 price for Borderlands 2 yesterday (which is still there BTW) and getting $10.60 back; I went with Amazon because I figured it'd be easier than PMing TRU's deal, though I had the TRU ad in my back pocket as a backup.

A PM heads-up to those who picked up RE6 through this promotion: I haven't had a chance to post the thread yet (I'll do so tonight unless someone beats me to the punch), but Gamestop's next weekly ad (starting tomorrow and lasting through 11/20) features RE6 for $39.99, the lowest it's been so far.

I think you have to wait for it to drop below $43.xx now. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

If the purchase was in-store, he would have a much better chance and I have done this. It's not in the realm of impossible.
Don't know about over the phone.

He should be fine. They should see it as an RZ cert and just credit him back $10 worth of RZ points. Thats how it's always been for me.

From what I've been told, as long as you mention that you used a RZ certificate to lower the item's original price and the value of the certificate, you should still be able to price-match and get the difference back.

Excellent, I'll grab another $10.xx refund tomorrow once the ad hits. Thanks!
