Your last few posts have made it seem like you have no clue what you're talking about.

Wait...what am I telling them I want to PM? Hitman or FC, or both?

I know walmart and target have Hitman for $39.99...but Idk who has FC3 for sale

hmm let's see, Pay $10, get a $40GiftCard. Pre-order The Last of US, chip in $20+3.75 Cash/tax + $40 GC. Reward Certificate $20.
10+3.75 cash/tax for The Last of Us FIRST DATE?(You may have a chance to PM during return period, $50 at Walmart,Target,etc within the 30 days of release? I could totally see that happen)

Yeah you holding about $115 GC value, but look at those GCU 20RC pre-order list: The last of us, tomb raider, Crysis 3,Splinter Cell, GTA V........




PS: PM while still keeping the $20 Reward Certificate, hows that work? I heard the 20RC promotion end after 7th days of release.

How long does this promotion run?
The promotion will end 7 days after the last game is released.


If I receive a price match from an in-store or BestBuy.com purchased game, will I still qualify for the $20 bonus certificate?
Yes. A price match done in-store or on BestBuy.com within policy will not affect your eligibility for the $20 bonus certificate.


It seem somewhat contradicting

Yea...but my far cry is on a separate receipt. And to PM Hitman would be a new transaction...so where are these 2 games getting combined to prompt the $40 GC pop up to the sales rep?

Idk where you're going with this.

I could PM FC3, and then BUY Hitman for $39.99 on a different receipt...but that process isn't going to get me the GC.

LoL still not exactly what is happening (he's actually trading $84 US Dollars for $116 Best Buy Dollars a nice 38% ROI). But to say that 25 cents on the dollar for best buy credit is not special, that is crazy.

What he really wanted was halo 4 and some game from Q1 2013, so I suddgested he can trade in one copy of Halo 4 and get back his cost on it more or less, then he can use that 40 towards the game not yet out, and keep the giftcard and his copy of Halo 4.

Or bumping up credit if he has gift cards

Of course I already preordered it. Did you not read my first post?? "I have my FC3 receipt"...

And of course I can do this promotion. I just get them return/rebuy FC3 with Hitman for the GC, then I call up CS an tell them that no ACTUAL return was made, but describe the details, and chances are they'll automatically credit the promo $20 on my account..

Lol the things people will do to save a few dollars.

few dollars no, bout $40 from the GC and the savings from the PM? Sure!

The math in here....this is why CAGs are poor!

Had no problem whatsoever pm'ing Amazon for Halo 4 and getting that and Far Cry 3 for $105 with the gift card. Mayngomback tomorrow and pm Sleeping Dogs and Madden 13 for another gift card.

sold my far cry 3 after matching it and ACIII for 40$ each with 40$ gift card promo, sold halo 4 along with it, then re-bought halo 4 with hitman at a pricematched 40$ each and recieved giftcard without a hitch. managed to pick up playstation all-stars for 20$ as well. good day for gaming!... if I didnt have finals to study for :(

So can I price match my Borderlands 2 (Oct 26) and Halo 4 (Nov 6) and get some cash back?

Either in store or call them to pm, cant do bestbuy.com pricematch, instore they don't like to pm ang give gc, over phone they do the website purchase in place of you, but should work eventually once u get the right rep.

3 because i can reach the $100 for $50 off my AMEX too. So i can take advantage of the whole thing. It'll end up being $10 per game. But first i'll need to know if the reps have caught on.
