Got my reward cert for Call of Duty on Thursday and went back for the GCU adjustment that didn't apply when I bought the game with the $10 upgrade coupon.  Cashier was very nice and gave me $12 back without any issues.  

 
Uhh...I had about 600 or so points yesterday and now I have 500 less--what gives? 

Edit:
It says

11/23 Issued $20 Certificate.

But nothing is there--it should come tomorrow, right? This is a common thing?

I guess that means I got my 500 Halo points then.

Look under purchase history, and look under the date you preorder. If you received the points it will show.

i received this email about my GTA V pre order DLC about 8pm last night and still no further email?

I'm sorry to hear that you have not yet received the pre-order bonus code for the game Grand Theft Auto V for Xbox One.

Unfortunately we are experiencing some system upgrades on our tools and would like to ask for your consideration to wait within 4-5 hours on our end to send the code to your e-mail address.

We appreciate your loyalty as an Elite Plus member.

Best Buy has temporarily removed the GCU and Elite/Elite Plus spending status page. They will bring those features back later next month.

That sucks. I was looking to see how much I needed to spend to get to elite again this year. I was between $150- $300 away but can't remember exactly. Also I was trying to use my 50% off a strategy guide coupon today and when he scanned it, it said denied. They price adjusted it, but wonder if the denied had something to do with the removed gcu status. Wonder why they would remove that?

you did $2 better than us even, as with that coupon the gcu should have only taken $10 off the price.

 
So since Sunset is $49.99 I can get BB to match the price since they have it at that one time? 

So it would be $40 after match with GCU.

 
Weird points cleared but no cert. yet. It mentions -250 issued cert. on my purchase history, too Hopefully get it by tomorrow cuz I'm get another 25 for halo and ass creed soon and don't want them fucking up that as well.

EDIT: Guess this is a common issued, lol.

The last time I got a certificate it took a day to show up even though the points were already subtracted. Wait until tomorrow and then contact. They really should fix up their system.

Cool same thing just happen to me. Sucks because if it happens to my Ass creed & Halo waiting an additional day, will mean I'll get those certs until Friday. :wall:

 
Yeah, it seems to always end up taking a day for my certificate to show up. I have it set to automatically do it, but because I have elite status, I wonder if I should use point banking? I wonder if issuing from the point bank is instant?

The past $45 worth of Certs I issued from bank all were instant.

Both Certs for FarCry and GTA are pending! The last 7 months or so have been pretty badass. I doubt I'll follow this thread much again until after the holidays since there's no more bonus Certs until then anyways.

Maybe we will start 2015 off with a new BB Bonus Cert thread?
 
GTA and FC4 points are pending from my 10/28 order. Not holding my breathe but would be nice if they clear by Thursday so I can use on some more BB stuff

Thanks, I'll turn on point-banking then. I hope I get some certificates in time for BF, I'm thinking about the mouse/steam card combo.

Yea I actually issued 2 Certs last Tuesday for $45 while I was in store. Ending up buying DragonAge for a friend, so it didn't cost me anything.

Btw you just missed the early access event yesterday. It was really good. I ordered a blue Dualshock 4 and 6 games for myself. Bringing my collection up to 26 PS4 discs. I also order 4 games for a friend, and the IPod Touch for another friend. All shipped and will arrive Nov 26th(Wednesday).

My unity points just cleared and I got $25 cef, if my math is right my halo points should clear by BF but I don't know if I will receive the cef in time :(, also sucks that I have 205 points right now, so close to another $5 lol

My "clearing cycle" has ALWAYS been 2 weeks and 2 days so far, so it takes my stuff 16 days exactly to clear

Anyone think Dying Light will do well? I'm due for a zombie game but not sure if this will rank high. It's been pretty quiet.

Need anymore friends?
 
Still kicking myself for not using the 3x points on the $500+ purchase of games I made a couple of months back - thought it'd automatically be used... d'oh!

Still waiting on my HaloMCC cert though, picked it up a day or two after launch day with my pre-order, but haven't seen anything yet on mybestbuy.com :(

Generally what I do, and takes me about 2 weeks for most certs. Only issue is getting price adjustments have to go through the CS hotline. Getting money back on SSO has been a headache.

Explaining that the discount would still apply to that sale price is a hassle at times. Much easier in store.
 
check your account, i had a random $5 cert show up that expires 12/24.  I have point banking turned on so it wasn't from buying stuff either.  I never got the mystery gift or any of that stuff so I guess its a $5 losers consolation prize, but i'll take it!!

 
I have $25 in certs that expire on Jan 31st.  If I preorder Evolve (Feb release) with those certs will they still count?

Couldn't find the answer when I searched.

Thanks

 
Woohoo.... So ordered Halo MCC for delivery, they shipped the game first and didn't ship the free booklet until a week later.  I returned the game since i was able to get it during target's B2G1 free promo.  So even though I returned the game, I still got the 500 in points.  It never took them back due to the booklet still in my hands.  Pretty cool.  And yes, it's been a week already since the points posted and I returned the game.

My best buy argues with me EVERYTIME. Then the online customer service just tells me to go to the store.......quite annoying; the struggle is real!

Oh I didn't miss the early access, I got some stuff. Unfortunately, the mouse/steam card combo was only up for an hour or so and then got taken down. I think it is only supposed to be Th-F.

Might have been answered, but my account says the reward points were applied, but I don't see them under my rewards. I'm guessing it's something that takes like 24 hours to go through or whatever?

Yes, wait a day for the certificate to show up. I've been told that point banking (if you have elite status) allows you to get your certificates right away when you want.

 
Woah! After the purchases I made yesterday clear, I will have $75 in Certs. I just used $60 in Certs last week lol. Really wished I started using the MyBB Credit Card sooner.

Maybe BB is starting to listening and we will start getting more steelbooks. Isn't it FutureShop that always gets a bunch?

At this time we will not be bringing this program to Best Buy U.S. - Allan-BBY, 06-13-2014.

Maybe 2015 is the year? :)

i am hoping they will be doing steelbooks for kingdom hearts III, and final fantasy XV, once there are definite release dates for those two games.
