[quote name='lordopus99']$20 Reward Zone Gamer's Club Unlocked for Dummies

1) You will not get your $20 RZ until around the 30-35 day mark (after purchase). Stop worrying about it until that point.
2) The RZ website is far from accurate. Proof in point, the RZ silver bar. Again, see #1. Patience is a virtue.

What does this mean on a purchase?
- RZGC UNLOCKED PO 10 DISCOUNT - Your 10% discount for Pre Owned Games. This will show up for ANY purchase (gaming or not) as long as you are Gamer's Club Unlocked.
- PS-(system)-(game) i.e. PS-X360-RESIDENT EVIL 6 - This is your preorder being deducted from the purchase of the game.

Preorder DLC Bonus - You need to have an email address associated to your Reward Zone account. This is the email address they will send your DLC code to. It typicially can take a day to obtain this. Potentially up to a week. Note your luck of getting this by the time you get home is a crapshoot. Wait a week and then call customer service if you haven't received.

FOR YOUR POINTS...
If your physical receipt shows like below, you should get your $20RZ preorder bonus.

EXCHANGE

Original Tran (Cust Serv Pin) Date

Return Items
Pre-order SKU PS-(system)-(game) 5.00-

Sale Items
SKU Name of Game for above 59.99

The complaining about these points/DLC need to die down. Come on guys/gals...

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE[/QUOTE]
^Thanks lordopus99!

Will be on your reciept as well as in your e-mail.
 
[quote name='advanced']Pssh. $100? I'm nearing $200. :lol: Got $150 in redeemed certs (3x $50) and I have another 1000 points chillin' until AC3 clears. That'd make $190 and I should have enough left over for another $5.[/QUOTE]

Damn, that's a lot of money bro. I wish I was you.

Plenty of nice things to say, just not when someone says something stupid or boasts about how much stuff they have.

But that's what the internet is for, to brag to people you've never met about things that aren't really important.

Eh, either way, I didn't take it offensively. If you meant it offensively, you should work on your smack talk game.
 
I was trading in some games today at best buy and learned some interesting things. One, GTA V pre orders start tomorrow and you get a free poster and view finder, but also best buy is adding more games to the reward zone unlocked list including GTA V, the last of us, dead space 3, bioshock infinite and a few more the guy could not remember. Best buy is seriously making its gamer's club unlocked worth the $15.
 
Hey guy I have the limited edition preorder and would like to know other than the steel case. Is there any thing that the l.e. gets that you get that other people have to wait for or buy?? So over all is the l.e. worth the price??

Yeah what demons master said, you're going to have people who say its a waste of money and some who think its awesome. I personally think its a perfect because $15 more (assuming you're getting the war games map pass, otherwise it would be $40 more) you're getting a steelbook, limited numbered box case, early specializations, extended Forward unto dawn movie, and some papers. All of that stuff alone, I think, is worth more than $15 bucks.
 
Not sure if anyone knew this, but BB has halo 4 dog tags when pre-order.

I hear cag here getting $100+ cert. and good for them. I wish I had the money to buy/play all these games.....
 
I may have a problem. For some reason, and don't bother asking why, my Halo 4 LE is pre-ordered on an account that was not my reward zone account. I made it reward zone today, so I am wondering if I will still get the $20.
 
Frys has the LE halo console online for $325 still, but its $350 in-store so for those ppl who preordered it in-store, you may be able to price match by showing the price on your phone, that is if the price holds until launch. I doubt you'll be able to PM over the phone as they almost always call the store.
 
I didn't see it mentioned in the OP, nor on the BB website policy page...Is there a time-limit to price-matching at BB, and also...Is there a limit to how many times you can price match the same item elsewhere?

30 days for non-silver members and 60 for silver members and no, you can price match as many times as you want until that 30/60 day period ends

Edit: actually, according to a new thread the price matching period has been extended for everyone, starting today until 1/23/2013.

Correct any purchases made today until Christmas have return/PM until January 24, 2013. You CANNOT PM from BF through Cyber Monday.
 
[quote name='knight19']Halo 4 Dog Tags? I remember the Black Ops II Dog Tags, but when were dog tags offered for Halo 4?[/QUOTE]

Yes. they have halo 4 dog tags at Best Buy. Just ask someone in gaming next time u there. The person in gaming yesterday told me that they had it. They had like a bag full in a drawer.
 
I was at bestbuy today pre ordering my halo 4 console and I did not see no Damn dog tags nor did the employee say anything about free dog tags with pre order
 
[quote name='Finch106']I'm not in a hurry. I just thought it was an error they didn't show as pending. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

My credit didn't show up either, called CS and had a pretty worthless conversation, I agree everyone's advice and will just wait and see.
 
Dog tags are only for Black Ops 2.
Halo 4 is the poster bonus.

Unless it's an extra bonus they decided to throw in for pick ups on midnight releases like how Assassin's Creed did the coins?

Yeh, the map is a preorder bonuses the tags are midnight release items.
 
I don't think the dog tags are as high class as the coins so they probably won't be as limited.

From what the other guy said, it looks like they'll get loads of them.

It'll make up not getting the Black Ops 2 one I guess.
 
Havent heard anything bout tags at all haha. Though I didn't hear anything for the Gears 3 launch either and I got a free T-shirt and a bag.

(mocking you) I pre-ordered Gears of War 3 at Best Buy...And all I got was this stupid shirt.

Just kidding ;)

Best Buy's really impressing me this season...I've still about $60 in credit, and with the surplus of credit coming my way, and price matches......I doubt I'll spend anything to get the 10ish games that I have pre-ordered. Pretty sweet. Thanks CAG, as always.

Telling my wife that I pre-ordered Ellen Page made my fucking weekend.

I'm a little confused, so if we preordered ACIII and it goes on sale on BF, we can't price match it for that price right?
 
[quote name='dominator']I'm a little confused, so if we preordered ACIII and it goes on sale on BF, we can't price match it for that price right?[/QUOTE]

Correct.
 
I looked at the op and only saw a mention that the offer ends a week after the last game is released. Is there a time limit of how long after the game releases until we pickup that makes it no longer valid? I haven't picked up my AC III and if I can put off until black friday to see if its on sale I'm ok with that.
 
[quote name='htz']Best Buy appears to have added 2-3 more stores in my state for halo 4 midnight launch. Might be worth a re-check if your store was not listed before.

The above link also have a list of stores that have the wii u for trying out.[/QUOTE]

so maybe im blind or stupid but i clicked that link selected my state and city and then what?? if my city is there in the list its doing it? i just see my city listed but it doesnt mention a yes or no next to any city or state

If your city is listed, then your store is doing a midnight release.
 
I know this is not gaming related but I would really appreciate if you guys could help me. I saw in best buys ad there's a (musical) keyboard that comes with a $100 gift card if you buy it. If I were to price match it to another store, would I still be able to get the gift card after price matching?

I would try buying the item at BB with the gift card first, then PM'ing the other store afterwards in a separate transaction. It's gonna be YMMV regardless, because it's a package deal where you're receiving a free item/gift card (and those aren't supposed to be PM'ed), but I think that this method has a much better chance of the PM going through rather than PM'ing and asking for a gift card on top of your PM at the same time (which has little chance of success IMO)...

Yeah I didn't think I was going to be able to able to PM, just wanted to make sure. I'll try your method and see if it works out, I reallyyy appreciate the help as I know you didn't have to.

Again, I apologize to anyone who feels annoyed by me asking this. Everyone who is getting halo tonight at midnight, I will meet you on the battlefield. :bouncy:
 
Is it possible to still preorder Halo 4 by end of day and still get the $20 rewards? Sorry if it's been asked.

It's asked with every game on the list. Yes, online you can still order it and get the 1000 points.
