OP says 11/22The 1st post faq says it expires 11/16, but the BB I just left from says 11/22.
You`d get the $10 cert in 15-20 days as usual, there`s 2 simple requirements to get the $10 cert 1- Pre-order 2- Purchase by.Ok I get this but what has me confused is if I have to return/rebuy (GTA V that I preordered online) that has a $10 certificate preorder bonus, what would happen to the $10 certificate?[/font][/color][/background]
If you wanted the $30 GCU along with the $10 reward cert. for pre-ordering. It can only be done with an in-store $5 pre-order deposit. You would pay off your pre-order on launch day and buy the $30 GCU on the same transaction. This does not work with online pre-orders since you pay in full immediately, returning the game will just void the $10 pre-order bonus.I tried $5 deposit GTA5 in-store for the pre-ordering $10 reward certificate but the system wouldn't allow since it's past 9pm.
Q&A from the OP "If you placed a preorder online (either to be shipped to your home or for in store pickup) and want to take advantage of this offer you would need to fulfil your preorder at the store and then immediately do a return/rebuy transaction. You would rebuy the game and GCU membership, getting 20% off the game and the GCU membership for $30."
Just to be sure. I can buy a 2nd GTA5 in-store on 11/18 and still get the $30 GCU along with the $10 reward cert even if I return the 1st GTA5 online in-store pickup? Does the return have to be immediately or can I return it whenever within the return period. TIV

If you just want the $30 GCU, it will work by returning, and re-buying the game in store.
Your order actually shows as an in store order since it list the location of your best buy. Maybe they cancelled your online pick up instead of doing a return and then rebuy. CoD also might have worked since BB's system views all day zero editions as preorders plus it was launched a day early for that version.I preorder COD online with store pick up and was able to get Unlocked for $30. They actually asked me if I'd be interested while checking out.

CAG dc delta90 (He works for Best Buy), did most of the work for the FAQ. You can thank him through PM.First off....this thread has been amazing and thanks for putting it together with the faq in post 1. Just went out this morning and picked up GTA V and Gameclub membership... The 20% didnt come off at first, but was quickly fixed by someone who knew what was up.
I did have a few quick questions about trade-in's. Is the 50% bonus trade-in value just a weekly special from the weekly ad? Also, if so, then how often do they have this type of trade-in bonus offer....it seems like I see it alot in the weekly ad.
And finally, Where exactly do you take the games to trade them in... Customer Service?
Thanks again
Nope, mine started within a week.so I got the $30 buck gamers club unlocked when I got the 3ds buy one get 1 50% off, its been 3 days now and I still am not getting the 20% off discount on my online orders, I called the customer service and they told me is takes 15 days to active...
I guess what im asking is, is it normal to have to wait 15 days for a first time purchase? normally I wouldn't care but black Friday is coming up and I may not be able to use it on my in store purchases
it can take 2-3 days but when done over the weekend it can take a few extra days. I am assuming this is your first GCU membership correct? if so that why since new memberships take a few days to activate completely which is why when the membership is full price they always recommended any games purchased that day to be done in same transaction. Again if you renew thought your membership is will be activated within minutes, the delay is only for new accounts as even mentioned by the best buy mods in several threads.so I got the $30 buck gamers club unlocked when I got the 3ds buy one get 1 50% off, its been 3 days now and I still am not getting the 20% off discount on my online orders, I called the customer service and they told me is takes 15 days to active...

It is for purchasing digital content from the pre-order kiosk that is under $14.99.Anyone have any idea what the 10% off digital content coupon that came in the welcome package can be used for? Can I purchase the Destiny expansion with it or MS, PSN, Wii point cards?
yup its my first purchase, so all I can do is hope it's ready for use on black Friday if not, I can always ask them to check my account to show them I do have it and get the manger to add the discount just hope it doesn't come to that other wise best buy workers and BF shoppers are going to get mad...it can take 2-3 days but when done over the weekend it can take a few extra days.

Thanks!!Worked perfect!Went in and asked for the return rebuy and did it no problem.OP says 11/22
This thread is being created to address questions regarding the gamers club unlocked $30 promotion going on right now (Expires 11/22). I have also been working with dc delta90 to create this FAQ, which should help clear up some confusion relating to the promotion.
It`s also in th weekly ad which always ends on Sat which would also be 11/22.
You`d get the $10 cert in 15-20 days as usual, there`s 2 simple requirements to get the $10 cert 1- Pre-order 2- Purchase by.
The moment you p/u your in-store p/u #1 is complete and all you need to do is make the final purchase no later than the sat of release week. An immediate return/rebuy meets that requirement as long as it`s done no later than Sat of release week.
Yes, just make sure both are bought on the same transaction.Read the FAQ but basically this right,I can get the 20% off smash bros and still get the GCU for 30 dollars.
If something goes wrong, I'm sure the Best Buy forum mods will be able to help you out.Just added 2 years to my already existing GCU. I've had it since it was rolled out. I'm going back tomorrow to add 2 more years. I read in the FAQ that you shouldn't do it in back to back transactions. Is what I'm doing going to work ok?
GCU only works for physicalDoes this include downloadable version of new games as well?
It looks active to me. Has anyone tried it Sunday or today?
Super late to this deal I know, but after seeing so many CAGs drink the Kool-Aid I decided to take a sip myself. I went in store today and when I was checking out at the register it appears this deal has in fact ended. However I was able to get a manager (after waiting around for 10 mins while they tried to figure out what to do) to price match the deal against their website because it is still showing up online. I would recommend anyone that hasn't done this yet and wants to do it that they go ASAP while the deal is still showing online. I am guessing at some point they will pull it down. Might help if you have the deal showing on your phone or do a printout of the website page though they should be able to pull it up in store as well.It looks active to me.

No.does it work on consoles?
Normally you would see it within the reward section via "overview". Best Buy currently removed that status feature for Black Friday. It will return later next month but you can tell by just adding a game into your cart. If you're unlocked, the game will be discounted by 20% off automatically.Quick question. How do I know if the gamer unlocked is linked to my best buy account? I signed in but I don't see anywhere that states I'm currently a gamers unlocked club.
Thanks just checked it and it shows up.No.
