I did. I'll just pick it up and return. I never do pre-orders at BB so wasn't sure if that was the case. I'll complain to the manager later on today too.

Should automatically show up when you put a game in the actual cart when signed in. Can you try putting a game into the cart online and see if it is showing the discounted price? If not, sounds like there is an issue with the GCU membership showing up on your account correctly.

I would suggest next time, choose in store pick up as an option. Although I have never heard of a game taking 10 days to get to me from BB o.0 (all about that free expedited for elite plus baby, but still, even with the old free shipping, I sometimes got them like the NEXT DAY!)

Should read my previous posts. I didn't wanna order it online. I HAD an in store reserve. I was one who had a free CE upgrade and bb fucked me. So I was forced to order online. Also, I never received my game and tthey had to send a replacement.

I fuckin hate best buy -_-

wait so did you preorder it on the website? or did you preorder it in the store with the $5 down? website the gcu shows up right away and that what you charge but If I remember right if you actually do the actual preorder in store then the price wont adjust down to the gcu amount until you actually pick the item up since you aren't charged until it picked up anyhow

I preordered in-store. I was forced by BB to change my order to an online shipping order to "get my CE". Which never happened. I was stuck with it cause those asshats waited til the last moment to tell me to do it. (March 7th) Then when it was "delivered" to my house (never happened) they had to resend it. I JUST got it yesterday.

I pre-ordered inFamous: SS yesterday. The price came to $63 and I asked why isn't it $47 (+tax). He said they give you back the money when you pick it up. Haven't gone yet to pick it up today but is this true. If it isn't, I'm just going to return and rebuy to get the 20% off w/ GCU.

I just picked mine up a couple hours ago and it came up at 47.99 so I wouldn't worry too much. They didn't have my copy set aside up front though. The kid in front of me got the last copy front so I had to wait till someone brought up more copies. I guess they don't set them aside like they claim.

In store reserves don't take the GCU discount until you pickup the game.

I forgot to ask: This was an online preorder, correct? In-store preorders only require the $5 deposit.

Why is everyone responding with this? I've said nothing about nor does what I said have anything to do with the discount.

I preordered and received the free titanfall CE upgrade. I needed a replacement code. They strung me around for over a week saying I'd get it replaced. They said they'd replace it (on March 7) if I preorder it through their phone service. I did. And no code. Instead I got an email that my payment was made and I should expect my game on the 11th. Never got it on the 11th. Or at all. Just got it yesterday after HAVING it be resent.

So you still got your product didn't you? Don't see how you got screwed over if you still got what you were supposed to get.
 
Got my credit for Titanfall.  Doing the preorder online with in-store pickup was a heck of a lot easier than doing it all in-store.

Wii U owner here. I emailed Best Buy about them not including Watchdogs for WiiU in this promotion. They apologized and said it's the 3rd parties' decision on which games and which versions are included in this promotion. Included in the response was a $10 promo code for free.

This was for an in store preorder. I get the discount automatically online.
 
Got a question you guys may be able to help me with, since I got 2 different answers from BB employees.  I'm going to preorder Watch Dogs and use a reward certificate.  The RC expires in April, game comes out in May.  The amount of the RC will still come off the price, right?

yes if you order online and use it then it will come off now since the game being paid in full online. I had a promotional egift card that expired march 1st and used it in February to preorder titanfall online which didn't come out until 2 weeks after the expiration date just fine since it was paid in full

I don't think you can use gift certificates in store as a preorder. I tried before and he couldn't do it. Then again, the guy I tried oordering 3 games from couldn't even use the SKUs to ring them up -_-

Luckily a guy in the PHONE DEPARTMENT did it for me. Nonsense.

I purchased BF4 day one...I didn't like it. I went back to BF3 within a couple of months. I'm not into Dark Souls and Titanfall...I'm still stuck in the last gen lol I want South Park but I'm waiting for the price drop (I regret not preordering GCU+ $10-$20 back would have been perfect)

Yeah, I day one purchased BF4 as well, hence the lulz. Shits terrible. I have DS2 and haven't played it yet. Titanfall is amazing. Crazy how your 9th and I'm only level 50, hahaha. But I'm aiming for my "Unlock Everything" achievement.

I actually preordered South Park in February and STILL got the $20. I think it was for everyone.

What did you mean when you said that I'm 9th and you're level 50? Im confused lol
 
I'm not sure what everyone is crying about. 20% off a $60 = $12 off PLUS the $10 PLUS the points towards another coupon. Again I ask - what the fuck is everyone crying about? Before they used to only do $15 and $20 credits. Now, they give a total of $22 back.

I really don't get how anyone could argue that if you are someone who buys a few physical releases each year, this won't pay off. All new games get the 20% discount, no matter how marked down. If you are the type who waited for the first price drop or you wish you had something to make launch price soft enough, this is the best thing out there. How do you argue with Watch Dogs being $38 at launch + the rewards zone standard points?

This program obviously isn't for you if you buy only one or two new releases each year, but you are not the mainstream and you are obviously not the target of this program. Don't even try to make it sound bad when it clearly can work so well for a lot of mainstream players.

Seriously, these "no way for $60". You only need to buy 5 new console releases over two years to make that money back. FIVE GAMES IN TWO YEARS? And I got it for the $30 promo, so I'm long past earning it back with about 5 new releases a year plus those $10 bonuses, plus standard reward points, plus a few on sale titles.

 
I think they're just mad that the two policies overlapped for a bit, giving both a $20 coupon AND 20% off. But that's always been temporary, and if you think it's sudden then you haven't been paying attention. People want to cancel over this? Fine go back to paying $60 a game or hauling to a toys r us and hope the register gives you a gift card (my experience with tru has been laughably putrid).

Alongside PS Plus, I'd have to say my two year $30 GCU subscription is the best deal in gaming. Paid for itself within the same month that I renewed. How can you argue against a deal like that?

The only reason the old way was better was b/c of the previous pm policy which was basically $40 + $20 credit. But since so few titles came $20 credit vs 20% on all games is still better overall, the $40 sale price w/GCU equals a black friday deal & allows for equal and/or profit on every trade.
 
I have a random 1000 points pending in my rewards account. It's not showing a purchase just for a 1000 points just in the section where it says points pending. ...

sure, no one is arguing that the old policy was better, but again, that was always temporary. Still, it doesn't erase its value as it stands. Getting every game for free would also be better, but that's not going to make me cancel.

Dude I agree with you even @ $120 I`d re-up for GCU every 2 yrs. BB`s been the best gaming retailer for 9+ yrs but seems like alot of people didn`t know how to get the best deals day in day out.
