oh wait, misread it.

Let me double check the @gamer site.

So, I just got silver applied to my account...Is the 60 day pm window retroactive? Are my points retroactive for this year? Is there a CAG silver thread?

Mine still hasn't. I'm pretty sure they'll just give you a new subscription. My hope is that it won't be a 2 month wait.

unless the rules changed in the last year or so, you only get the 60 day window for purchases you made after turning silver. those made earlier in the calendar year don't count. can't hurt to doublecheck since i don't know of any recent rule changes that may have occurred.

I'm going to let mine expire on the 16th and see if they renew it for free. I have a feeling they will offer something rather than lose long time, valued customers.

You don't need an account at gamestop to do a trade-in. Banning you is only stopping you from getting the 10% extra... Not a huge deal.

I renewed on the 17th of August, but nothing ever showed up on the website and I got the "restart your quest" e-mail yesterday. Since I needed to price match Madden 13, I decided to ask about the GCU renewal at the same time. Of course, it took 40 minutes and two reps to tend to both situations, and in the end, their system shorted me a week on my subscription. The old expiration date was 09/15/2012, and the new expiration date is showing as 09/08/2013.

I renewed Friday 9/7 and points were in today 9/9, sweet.

no, if gamestop wants they will ban you from trading in.
i can buy whatever i want, but gamestop sunset hills says i can't trade in there ever again, lol.

I renewed yesterday since I wanted to buy another magazine anyway (to get another copy of Battlefield 3) and I figured instead of spending $5 on that, I'd just renew and get the magazine for "free" along with the renewal.

My account reflected the renewal almost right away. When I was home an hour later it already showed my membership going through Sept. 2013 on my RZ account.

I'm not counting on getting the $5 in RZ points, though, and am not sure I'd ever bother calling in about that as I still have no idea where/when this was advertized. I got an email this morning saying "Thanks for reloading". So, anyway, now that I've done that, watch the program go in the tank .

I also returned something using the new 60 day window for the first time yesterday. It was nice how I had to explain to the CS rep how that all worked as they initially denied my return for being over 30 days and then again for being over 45 days. It even said the new 60 day policy right on the receipt I had. Gotta love Best Buy!

I emailed them the day I saw this thread asking about the promotion and if I'd get the 250 points. Someone emailed back the next day saying that the "promotion doesn't exist", the 250 points is probably a customer satisfaction thing. Then he says no worry, and put 500 points on my account.

That's my biggest complaint with Best Buy. You have to argue with them about their own ing sales and promotions, they are clueless about them and they refuse to honor them.

I called today to ask how long it should take for the points to post just cause I had some time to do so. Woman was aware of the offer, but wasn't sure everyone was offered it. She couldn't find an answer as to when the promo points should post. She guessed they would post soon as the purchase of the membership renew post to the reward zone account. Because she couldn't find an answer she just gave me 250 points though. Maybe I'll get lucky and get both.

The 250 bonus points???

I actually received the email promoting the 250 point bonus. Saved it of course so I can say "oh really, then what's this?"

I think it might be for selected members only and as usual, the reps don't know what they're talking about. But they are very quick on offering RZ points so it's all good. =)

So i renewed my membership on 8/21 and the account never updated, the date on my account expired, so now my unlocked membership isnt on my account at all even though the transaction for the purchase has cleared. Going to have alot of fun calling in tomorrow.... Best Buy is so frustrating sometimes.

Can you sign up for GCU with credit?

I am doing the same thing; I figure they will send some kind of incentive otherwise I will just renew it.

I noticed that my points are not even in my RZ account for the renew of my Gamer Club account....although, I did pay with a Gift Card, but it should still be there, correct? IT updated to 2013.

I suppose I will REPORT THE MISSING POINTS.
