Not to concerned with the delays, still have Destiny, Far Cry 4, both Assassins Creeds, Sunset Overdrive, Drive Club, Dying Light, COD AW, Forza Horizon 2, indies, and maybe some surprises from E3.  I think we'll be ok.

AA was delayed too & it was for the better would rather it meet expectations vs disappointment as such a good run. E3 will offer more to fill the void & hopefully BB will add some more $10 games in their place.
 
Just updating that my in-store pre-order of the Watch Dogs LE now has the 500 points pending, for those that were concerned that it wasn't showing up.

 
Yeah still nothing pending for me. Ill wait till it clears after 15 days and then call though.

I dont see a bonus 1000 points for using my Best Buy Credit card outside of Best Buy either.

 
Nothing about this game is going right for me. Warped base on statue, figure misplaced when glued, and game wont load passed 90%. fuckin game -_-
 
Over the last few hours my 500 WD points posted as pending. We'll see how long it takes to get them. Technically today is day 16 on my Wolfenstein, so yeah.

I believe no, unfortunately the certificates are tied to the account. If you haven't redeemed the certificate yet and just have points in one account you can always ask a mod on Best Buy's forums to merge your accounts. Just be warned, if they do this it will automatically reset your preferences on when to redeem certificates. I have mine set to bank and when I had an account merge a while back it set them to automatically release certificates so I had to call and get those voided and then wait two weeks for the points to come back (after a very helpful rep pushed them through when they didn't get applied the first time).

I am BB Elite and have my points set to bank. I have 500 points pending for the Watch Dog preorder. In the past they would automatically issue me a $10 cert (I was not set to bank). With a pre order will they just issue me a $10 Cert when the points clear or can I bank these points as well. Either way not a big deal but I would rather bank these for a few more weeks if I can. If not I will put it down on whatever $10 pre order I want to pick up that is coming out next.

You're going to pick up AW after Ghosts? IMO it was terrible.

Also does anyone know how to get your points threshold higher?

It's stuck at issuing me $20 certs.

AW at least has a slightly interesting aesthetic, and the developers aren't the same as for Ghosts, so there's a bit of hope there.

AW is being made by a different dev team than the dolts that made Ghosts. I'm getting AW mainly for the campaign right now. Will reserve judgment on multiplayer until I learn more about it.

$20 is the max for most people. The only way to increase your threshold for certs is to earn a ton of points all at once (they issued me a $25 cert one time because all those points posted at once) OR get Elite status which allows you to bank your points.

That's what happened.

I lost my temp elite status so I can't bank points anymore.

Next week you can get an easy/cheap boost back to elite plus depending on how far you`re currently away. CVS has $500 load limit fee free Amex cards 6/8-6/14.


1- Buy 5 $200 BB visa`s for $1029.75($29.75 in fees)
2- Use the BB visa`s to get two $500 Amex cards
3- Use the 2 Amex cards to get 5 more BB visa`s
4- Use the BB visa`s to get 2 more Amex cards
That`s $2060/$3500 need for elite plus
So basically $30 in fees per $1000 towards elite plus except you earn $20 mybb credit each $1000. If you`re elite or elite plus you`re already earning 10% or 25% on the purchases too. So the $5.95 fee is really just $0.95 per $200 card. Do this to maintain your elite plus going forward. And make sure you end with the credit on the amex cards not the BB visa`s since you WILL NOT earn pts on purchases made in BB with the visa`s they act just like giftcards.

Thanks for that, but I'm not in that much of a hurry for them. The cool thing about my Costco Amex is that I have a $0 fee on prepaid Amex cards.

 
I'm getting worried that Borderlands may not get added to this list.  We have an official release date now which is much sooner than many listed here.

Wait until after E3--Best Buy may be waiting until more announcements are made so they can add more games at once.

Maybe they plan to do a marketing push after or during E3 for the Unlocked program. It just still seems odd since Borderlands was announced before some others on the list like Far Cry 4.

Uh you don't mean the Pre-Sequel do you? As in the last-gen only, not made by the main entry studio team, spinoff, kinda was almost a DLC expansion? It seems a bit too low tier for the promo to me. It's just not really a Borderlands full AAA entry and isn't coming for the current gen. The promo is usually for AAA hopeful titles.

This screams Borderlands fan material and it's doubtful they expect it to outsell Borderlands 2, but surely they will be pushing for Borderlands 3 itself, which will likely be made by the main studio who made the first two, to be a AAA sequel that ups their record numbers.

This is the kind of game I wouldn't expect to be on the promo, not that it's a sure "no," however.
