You can't. And unless you want to spend a half hour or more complaining to a CSR to try and get the promo code reapplied, don't count on getting the discount if you re-order. On top of that, you can't just cancel one item from a pre-order. You have to cancel the whole order and lose all your promo codes. Place orders individually and make sure you have a reliable card.

Thanks, got NSMB2

Ordered NSMB2.

Glad this happened. I forget to grab NSMB2 when I did my large $10 off order.

Never pre-ordered from NE before. How close to the release date do you typically receive the game?

Mario games tend to take forever to price-drop, so unless Amazon matches this could be the lowest price we see for awhile.

True, but Mario Tennis and Kid Icarus had really solid release week+ sales. Right around $30, I think. With this sale, I wouldn't be surprised if retail sees a similar sale.

I've been amazed at what a black hole Newegg customer service is for these types of issues. I've likely just been spoiled by Amazon over the years, but there seems to be a no-budging-tough-luck policy in place there that's a wee bit over the top.

Thanks for the response.

Oh, and of course I'm in for NSMB2.

In for NSMB2. Didn't grab it with the 10 dollar off promo last time because there was a shipping charge.

I pre-order from NewEgg all the time. Their usual "Free Shipping" promotion is 3-Day shipping. Of the 20+ games I've pre-ordered - all with Tuesday release dates - I'd say 3 have arrived in two days (Thursday), the rest have arrived on the third day (Friday).

If you must play a game Day 1, this would not work for you. I game on the weekends, and seldom on the weekdays, so this is perfect for me.

And your credit card is not charged until the order ships.

That's not what I was told when I emailed Newegg's CS:

My email

Originally Posted by Vigilante Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to place a preorder on a video game using a $12 off promotion, but the credit card available to me will expire before the item ships (sometime in 2013). I will automatically receive a replacement credit card about when my current card expires, but that will not occur until after the preorder promotion has ended. If I place the preorder with the to-be-cancelled card now, will I be able to have the card used to pay for the preorder changed through Newegg Customer Service once I receive the replacement credit card? Thank you for your help.

Now, my replacement credit card (which I now have) has the exact same number as its predecessor--the one used for the preorder--but a different CVV2 number (the security code on the back), so I'm not sure if I need to contact the number for the phone center.

In for NSMB2, as I already had KH3D preordered at that price . Thanks, OP!
