If you are an eligible My Best Buy member, pre-order your copy of any of the qualifying titles in either the standard version or special edition for PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4 or PC prior to their release date. Then you must purchase and pick up your pre-order within 7 days of street date. Please provide your member number at the time of pre-order and pickup.

my pre-orders for Evil Within and Sunset Overdrive show up as a total of $0.00 and with 0 points earned. Is this because i paid in full with gift cards? do i not get my reward points now?

evil within was not and it can take 15 to 20 days before the points show up

okay, yeah i got the $10 deal with evil within, and i guess i still have a few days to get the SSO points. Thanks for the responses

EDIT: wow, i just saw my SSO order in another place showing my points. I'll look a little harder before freaking out next time haha

so I bought CoD AW for PS4 & X1 with 2 separate pre-orders, but right now only the PS4 purchase shows the 500 pending points for the $10 certifcate... does this mean that you only get a $10 certificate per game regardless of the platform?

been repeated many times before but the answer is regardless if you buy the games on different platforms you still only get one $10 certificate. It per title
 
Does no one read the OP? Like seriously?

Can we like, put in the header "Before you ask a question, read the OP?"

Was Halo 5 confirmed for 2015 yet?
Click to expand...
It's scheduled for sometime in 2015. Most likely the around the same window that MCC released.

Halo 2 is fun but it's exactly what I feared. The nostalgia is not going to last very long for me. I enjoyed Halo earlier on so it's hard for me to get super into it like I was 10 years ago. I think it's just more of my tastes changing and evolving over that time that while this game is a fun pick up game, I sadly don't see myself sticking with this game in the long run.

Same thing happened to me. Unity and the Map Book both shipped Friday and arrived today, but Halo shipped today. Not a big deal for me considering they are going to my backlog anyways. About to finish The Evil Within and I still have Alien, Sunset Overdrive, COD, And Unity to play. Halo is on way and GTA, FarCry, and WWE will be picked up next week. Was thinking of starting Sunset after TEW, about how long does it take to beat? Most likely will start GTA or FarCry on release day, so I would hope to finish Sunset this week.

The transaction you showed above is just for the MapBook. The book is $20 if you don't buy the game. So if you cancel the game(which you can't cause it shipped already) it would charge you $20.

Pro tip: if you really can't wait till the game arrives, go buy it at Walmart and save your receipt. When you get the copy in the mail, return it to Walmart for the full refund. You will still get the Cert at BB and will have the game now.

Sorry if anyone thinks this is wrong.


Edit: actually just got an email from UPS and my Halo will be here tomorrow.

So I pre ordered COD and unity at the same time. Under COD it says victory can be pre ordered 500 some points pending. Unity just says the regular crap :(

 
I just pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto V and Far Cry 4 today. I want to pre-order Dragon Age Inquisition and WWE 2K15. Are there $10 Reward Certificates for those games?  :whistle2:k

 
I have a question regarding the $10 rewards promotion.

I "pre-ordered" Halo MCC at midnight CST the day of release for in-store pick up. I went to the store and picked it up shortly after they opened, and I got an e-mail with the pre-order bonus code and that they're shipping a map guide. Do I still qualify for the $10 promotion, then? If so, when will the rewards get deposited?

What day does Bestbuy.com says you placed the order? If Monday you get the bonus $10. If Tuesday no bonus $10, maybe after 15 days call and ask. They can see what time you placed an order at.

You'll have to call BBY customer support to get your rewards.

Or you know, you could read the OP. That seems way too obvious though.

I had already read the OP, my question wasn't answered in it considering that the game wasn't actually listed in the order as a pre-order but I did get the digital pre-order code and the map guide.

If it's a preorder then you're qualified. Wait 2 weeks and your points should be deposited by then. It's all in the OP. You should read it.

If it's not a preorder then you're not qualified, simple as that.

Edit: if you're not sure what it is. Go to BBY forum and ask a mod for help. They're fast and friendly.

If you got the email code and the map book, I'd say you successfully preordered the game. You should be fine, wait the 15 days and call in if they don't show up.
 
Ok I have a question, before I ask I know it takes 15 days to get points, with that said,I picked up ac unity and halo mcc today, preordered halo in store and ordered ac unity online for in store pick up, when I go on my best buy account ac unity isn't even showing up in purchases, halo is showing up with no points pending...not even the "victory can be preordered", is this common? Or should I be catching support?

it takes time to show up. Give it time for the bonus $10. It can happen in many of ways. Your regular purchase points show up first and then magically, the 500 appear. Just give it at least two weeks. You'll be fine. Stop worrying.

Look at the date you placed the online order. It would be under that date on the rewards account.

I see you have a trade in right before you purchased halo.......so I'm assuming you used that gift card to purchase halo? You won't get any points when using a gift card. You only get the points when you purchase a gift card or in your case trade in games for a gift card. If you pre ordered you should still get your 500 points, I'm guessing that will update later.

I preordred and purchased duty on release and still don't have it pending in my account. I traded in sunset on 11/08 and preodered halo/unity later that day and those show as pending. I would think duty should show up pending by now. So I should call instead of using the missing points link?
