I'm sorry guys, can someone tell me if you are charged right away or when you pick it up/the game ships?

They charge once you pick it up/it ships.

Edit: also,if it helps anyone,last time I was in BB they had a cardboard box with a picture of every game that gives you a $20 certificate and BOll was pictured. I know it's not "proof" but I thought I'll just throw that our there.

This Black Ops II question comes around every few days.

Actually they put a hold on the funds right away, but doesn't fully charge you until you pick up.

How do you know when your Gamer Unlocked status ends?

On myrewardzone.com my gamer unlocked status states active thru 9/11/2012.

In contrast my atgamermagazine.com account states:
Account Status: Active Paid
Expire Issue: Oct 1, 2012
Subscription Term: 10 issues
Start Issue: Nov 1, 2011
Last Issue Mailed: Sep 1, 2012

So does my gamer unlocked status end on 9/11 or 10/1?

does anyone know if you can pricematch black friday deals? im not sure if i should preorder assassins creed or wait.

No you cannot. That is the only sale specifically listed as not matchable. In recent history AAA titles that come out in the fall have gone for $30-35 on Black Friday so IMO it is not worth the gamble waiting. Preorder it now as the 1000 reward zone points are almost as good as the cash you would save on BF and you won't have to wait

[QUOTE=Saint'sRow911;9921756]Really wish I would of tried to get BB to price match TRU before today since it went back up to $60 there.QUOTE]It'll be on sale soon enuf you'll see it in damn near every weekly ad for the next month half the time it'll be on sale most likely.

You will need to call...BUT WAIT 30 DAYS this will allow CS to just instant credit "customer satisfaction points" vs you needing a follow-up call/email.

RE-UP ASAP You don't want there to be any delays in your mags or unforseen technical issues that happen far too often with BB.

I'm assuming you've been satisfied w/your sub & feel it's been worth the $15.

Hell yeah 206 base RZ points(257 w/silver), the 25% silver bonus also applies too.
Gamer Protip - You can then goto 7-eleven or another retailer that sells $500 visa GC's($4ish fee) or Walmart moneycard no load limit($3 fee) & use the BB visa to pay on them. Now you've earned RZ points on the BB cards & will earn RZ points + RZ silver + GC 2X points too on your BB purchases. Even when factoring in fees on both sides 206 pts(257 for silver) on the front end 400 pts(450 for silver) on the back end.
I have the walmart moneycard vs the separate visa cards since it's easier to keep track of for pm'ing purposes.

The welcome kits come in the mail & they're sent out in waves it could take 1-2 months to get one.

They will be offering welcome kits in store @ the time of purchase in the near future but that won't help you sorry. If you don't have the kit in 6 weeks post on the forums page.

To Enuf I'm sure getting points for buying and using Visa pre-paid cards varies by State because when I've used them in the past year I haven't received points with purchases made with the card AND buying them by combining BB giftcards into them even though others have said other wise.

The one on myrewardzone.com is correct, I checked this myself a while back as mine was expiring at the same time as yours. Reupped to make sure the $20 promo would be valid for my ACIII and RE6 preorders (as it does require a gcu membership), no point in risking it since I was going to renew anyways. It does stack correctly too, once you renew your membership the date will properly increase by a year on myrz.

Per the OP FAQ(also same from BB.com) there's also official booklets in-store with all the games as well.

Even the system bundles with the game included like the Madden one count. I will find the BB forum confirmation & link it.

YMMV on getting a target $270 PS3 pm but worth a try since you'd be getting the game, cheaper price, RZ points & $20 credit.

Does it count on all editions of the game?
The offer is applicable on all Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game such as special editions, limited editions, collector’s editions, etc. (subject to availability). PC, Wii, or any other platform of any of the titles does not qualify as a purchase towards this promotion.

The reason COD BO isn't listed like all the others has to do with fuss made by activision I believe when the 1st COD BO came out they didn't want it advertised as "discounted" or something along those lines. The next yr they "warned" retailers & gave them "rules" to follow.

When it comes to GCU go by the RZ site.

You're overthinking the deal
1-Even if you're not silver BB extends the return/pm window during the holidays so you'll have to I believe early/mid Febuary to pm games released after Mid October.(This is based off what's happened the last 3 yrs)
2-Last yr the b2g1 coupons for GCU where avail/eligble for use on B which provided the best deal but BB caught on & now they expire right before you could use them.
3-Generally, the BB BF deals are around $35 for new releases so you'd be choosing btwn a $40 pm w/$20 credit + 80 base RZ points vs $35 + 70 base RZ points. Since you have the extended pm you still have a good chance to pm the game close to $35 probably from Target who does the $17/$27/$37 game sales thru out the holidays.
Just follow this thread during the return period for the games you want you'll get the matches.

If you ARE NOT earning RZ points on the purchase & the usage of the cards there's a HUGE PROBLEM. Maybe a state(s) may have the order in which you get them skewed but since you're converting cash in the store per policy you're owed points.

I'll get confirmation for those who have been getting screwed & link it, it may take a few days since it's basically weeks end + holiday weekend.

Enuf,

Odd, I never got mine and it has been way over 6 weeks (more like 6 months) and I posted in the forums a while back. Is there a number to call?

Enuff, BJs has Madden right now at 51.99 in store online. Will Best Buy price match this even though its a membership club?

My local BB price matches costco but they require proof like a receipt or photo showing the sale price.

Off topic, but relates to RZ. Does anyone know if I still get RZ points if I buy a mobile phone through their main site and not the Mobile RZ site?

Those of you who did this for NCAA; how long did a pending transaction take to appear in to your account? What day did you finally get to cash out the points? 31st day? 35th?

Thanks!

For NCAA I think it took a week to post pending then another 2 weeks to actually get $20.

Hoping it comes through before Borderlands 2 which shouldn't be a problem.

Originally Posted by mewman13 I have already received mine. I preordered NCAA 13 on 6/17, picked up the game 7/10. The 1000 points posted into my account shortly after pickup (I forget when exactly), and I was issued my $20 certificate on 7/18. Until more people report in, I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but the cert was issued 31 days after preorder, or 1 day after the final day for pickup.

Here's what I posted last month about the points

I don't think I'm going to get to use mine for NHL 13. Don't think the timing will work out right.
