Found the GCU cards in my Cali store. They were in the xbox one aisle next to a bunch of xbox live cards. Just in case anyone else had problems finding the cards in store like myself. They were listed at 120 but I hope they ring up for 60 Sunday.
 
For those who`ve been buying games from BB for a while you probably remember we used to get $10 credit for every $150 spent on gaming & this was in place well before BB charged for GCU. Since they`re struggling to sell subs at $120 & removing/downgrading existing perks/benefits there`s a good chance they`ll really consider adding some newer benefits to GCU.

This is also a way to basically score another $5 credit per $48 title even ones that come with $10 pre-order credits which keeps moving the gauge closer to $20 per title which is what everyone wants.

$15 credit per every $150 spent on all gaming products & possibly a way to get the $15 in an instant giftcard vs waiting 15 days for points to post.

There's not enough time to play all the classic shit coming out that month.

Alien: Isolation
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Arkham Knight
Evolve
Shadow Of Mordor
NBA 2K15


And then I wouldn't be shocked if Sunset Overdrive comes out that month too. Arrrrgghh
 
Conan's reviews are always hilarious to watch even if the only reason he does them is for the paycheck.

Game looks pretty good on the PS4, hopefully the Xbox One version isn't much different. 

 
Can someone explain to me how GCU 20% off works when pre-ordering? I put the $5 down and it came to 54.99 and they employee told me my GCU will apply when I pick it, but it took her 15+mins to get my preorder and she seemed confused, basically I want too know how much I should be paying after GCU and $5 down. This is my first time preordering with GCU.

with placing the pre order in store she correct. The price will adjust it self once you pick the item up and pay the rest.
And if you ever pre order for shipping or even in store pick up through the website it will show the gcu discount right away but placing the pre order in store a different process for some reason.

I love that they added a lot more games to the list, but they need to get dragon age inquisition on that list pronto so I can get that deluxe edition ordered.

 
Looks to me like half of my Wolfenstein points cleared plus another 500 pending.    Had 612 + 500 (wolfy) = $20 issued.  112 leftover with 500 pending.  Kind of weird seeing the 1000 point split into two 500's and them processing at different times.  No sign of my $5.00 eGift card yet....

 
Yeah it comes off at pick up time.  As long as your Rewards card is on the pre order receipt (and even if isn't it probably won't be an issue at time of pick up).

I had the same question the first time I put $5 down on a game.  

$47.99 minus the $5 is $42.99 plus tax.  

 
Wow.  I'm surprised.  My 1000 pts posted already.  That was fast.  Usually I do wait the 15 days and then I have to ask them to give me the points because they never show up.  This is the first time they showed up early.

Haven't seen the $5 though.  Should be 250 points...

I think the $5 will be in the form of an e-Gift Card that'll be emailed to us.

Lucky you. My BBY sucks big ones. I'm in SC and people really don't give a shit about gaming.

Really well that suxs but yeah my BestBuy wasn't gonna have a midnight release either but am guessing the manager saw lots of preorders and decided to do one. Might also be that there is a GameStop super close by it and didn't want to lose competition lol

There's that too. I'm super lucky that my bestbuy is a 10 minute walk, or 2 minute drive, but the nearest gamestop is 60 miles away -_-

holy shit, you weren't kidding. i decided to look it up on gamestop for the nearest location near you. it is like the middle of no where
Click to expand...
Yup. Had to drive a half hour today to go to the nearest mall JUST to get work pants.

 
If I do a pick-up in store (pre-order) for Watch_Dogs today, will I still get the $10 certificate?

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that it works but a best buy rep told me Sat was the last day.

 
best Buy Updated a Pre-Order Bonus:

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Pre-Order Bonuses
Receive access to the in-game Flame of Arnor Rune with a high combo count, available only at Best Buy when you pre-order for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, or PC. You'll also receive The Dark Ranger in-game skin and Test of Power challenge mode.

 
Wish Best Buy's support would contact me I've tried Twitter and the regular reward zone website. Made a $55 certificate and quickly realized they won't let you redeem them on purchases under that amount which makes it useless towards any game buying. Been trying to get them to help and refund points with no luck.

So the next game with a $10 reward certificate is going to be Madden, which comes out 3 months from now?

****(Pure Speculation)*****

But I have a gut feeling BB is up to something with GCU. I don't if it's the backlash from @Gamer or the massive BB forums presence regarding GCU as a whole but they just are "acting" different than normal. Phase 2 of GCU I don't know what it is but with the $60 sales they're just not going to be as idle like they used to be.

 
most of the battlefield games been part of the promo haven't they? if so I wonder if the New Battlefield Hardline Game will be added after E3 when it will probably be officially confirmed since the game hasn't been officially confirmed yet. Hopefully it is good since instead of being a military game it going to be a police Swat game and instead of being developed by DICE Studios it will be developed by Visceral Games instead.
