Print off the gamefly page from Bestbuy.com and go to store and grab the gamefly case. Bring it to register and they will price match it there. Or at least they should. Then if you have the $10 gift card coupon give it to them. Some stores may or may not honor the coupon though. Mine did however so I was lucky. The coupon is in the coupon book they hand out back in media section. Hope this answered all your questions.
 
[quote name='slidecage']Crap if i knew that i would of opened up the account Monday... i was hoping to get the games by Saturday (takes 3 days to get here)

So they had to ship Today or tomorrow for any chance for the games to get here by this weekend....

i wrote to them and ask


why my games didnt ship

answer was some total BS

it takes up to 48 hours to access a new account and other bull crap ... your first game will ship out by Friday even though my billing cycle stays on the 4th... they screw you out of 3 days right off the back

LOL got to wonder why noone is staying with them

if the games dont ship out by tomorrow im going to call them Thursday and demand i get 2 days added to my account since i lost 2 days with them dicking around before the sent me my games[/quote]

LMAO! Welcome to Gamefly enjoy your stay! :lol:
 
[quote name='$hady']LMAO! Welcome to Gamefly enjoy your stay! :lol:[/QUOTE]


did they get that bad in the last 45 dayS?

i was with them from NOV 04 to Feb 06 and never had any major major problems with them
 
well this sucks...

check into account today and all the games that was in process have now falling back to Q list and nothing is shipping now
 
Ive actually havent had to much of a problem with the aside frmo the expected sihpping time to get to me.. im on the east coast so we have to wait the longest. Sicne they have implemented the "fast pass" or w.e its called system.. games have been getting here quicker though..

I also enjoy their rewards and they have great used game prices..

how exactlydo you trick Gamefly into thinking your a new member? Would I have to use a combination of a new address, credit card and/or Name?

I'm just wondering how would they catch on to someone signing up again. Is it the Email or Credit Card Number?

READING IS FUNdaMENTAL!


You can not fool Gamefly because Gamefly has recently joined forces with Jesus, JESUS CHRIST! Do you think you are smarter than Jesus Christ? DO YOU?
 
[quote name='Skelah']i hope that all these sales on the 2 months dont slow down shipping for everyone.[/QUOTE]


i wouldnt worry about it cause im sure very few of these are out there ... compair to the 10,000+ of free memberships they gave out in the

Mcdonald promo back in the fall of 2004

BIC pen promo they gave out in the summer of 2005

ect ect ect
 
another questions if you buy the card from best buy do they take your information there? Or would I have to input my credit card for future billing on the site?

alright so I can buy the sub online from bestbuy then it will link me to gamefly site where it will ask for billing information? This would help to signup again under a different account sinceI am a "cheapassgamer" at the least.

also gamefly does a promotion for new users to rent 1 game at time for 9.99 for the first month.

if you buy it online they will send this little plastic box to your house..

you go to the address in the box and it sends you to

best buy home page

as soon as you put that info in (the code inside the box)

it then sends you to gamefly homepage where you put in all the info (name,address, credit cards, email)

i had an account with gamefly for 2 years and cancelled back in feb

all i did was use my cousins name who lives with me, change my credit card, used another email address and thats it

both games shipped today (took a day to ship , opened tuesday they shipped weds)
 
Hey they finally activated my account after I copied and pasted a very angry e-mail to 4 different departments. It only took them about 15 minutes and they straightened it out. Once my mom gets off the phone i'm going to listen to the message they left on our answering machine hopefully apologizing and maybe extending my membership for free if I'm lucky. HEHEHEH

they said they would give me extra time if i would stay with them for another month
 
I ordered this online with instore pickup. Went and picked it up today, presented the coupon, and was able to get it for the online price with the $10 GC and very little hassle (although there seemed to be some extra paperwork flying around... then again, there often is for me when I pick up an online order)...

Thanks OP! :)

the denied me a second trial due the same address thing.

You recently created an account with the same address as another GameFly account. Unfortunately, our Terms of Use state that we can only offer one free trial per household. Therefore, your new account has been placed on hold.

Please reply to this email if you would like us to activate this new account and begin charging the credit card on file immediately. Or if you would like, you can close this new account and re-activate your previous GameFly account.

Please note, your new account under this email address will be on hold until we receive a reply to this email. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

YES but did you go under gamefly and do the 2 week free thing or was you using these 2 month pre paid plans from best buy



the 2 week free thing does say 1 per house hold BUT nowhere on these does it say it... says new member but it dont say limit 1 per household
 
I've got 3 coming in the mail. I figured it was a good deal. I'm assuming this is for the 2 games at once plan that's normally like $23 and not the 1 game at a time plan.
 
Anyone know if these are full accounts or if they're restricted like trials are? To clarify, when I set up my two month trial there were restrictions on it while I was still in the trial period so that I couldn't get free shipping on items in their store(or if I decided to 'keep it') because I wasn't a full fledged member.

I just ordered one for instore pickup to try this trick.

$2 net for 2 months????

I'll be new to GF, so I don't have to worry.
 
I just picked one up today with the $10 GC. After the PM, I showed him the coupon and he was like, hmm, i wonder if this works and then it did. He was just like, thats a good deal. The gift card he gave me was a GGC too.
 
I think it activates right after the transaction is completed and it puts the credit card that you used for the transaction on record for future renewal (you'll have to cancel at the end of the two months).
 
Looks like they finally caught up to me........

I cancelled my last account over the weekend and then made a new account yesterday with the card I bought from this deal. I used the same name and address as i've always used in the past but just made a new email account through my net provider like I always did. Everything looked good untill I just now checked to see if my games had shipped and see that they have my new account on hold and I got an email about multiple accounts blah blah blah.

I accidentally deleted that email when I was cleaing out the spam so I had to email support about how to free that subscription code up so I can give it to my "friend" to use... It's still tied to that account so I couldn't try another credit card on a new account.. Oh well it was fun while it lasted and i'd planned on leaving them untill this deal came along anyway. :D
 
Is a new name and e-mail address enough to fool GAMEFLY?

Because I only have 1 credit card ;_;

The last time I activated my previous account was back in Dec. 05, & I was planning to use this 2-month subscription around 2 months from now. Do you think they would notice?

fuck . . . I crashed on the rocks of an unpleasant clerk in my attempt. Rather than try to put it though, this sour-faced woman said the deals could not be combined . . . I may try again.

should of used another name

i got 3 of them BUT i plan on breaking them part

use 1 of the memberships for 2 months.. then pay for a month at full price
leave for a month or two

Use another 2 month membership pay for a month full price

leave

Repeat

Noticed they stopped doing fast return around here....

takes 3-4 days each way... keep a game 2 days Figure you looking at 3X turn around (6 games at the 2 game plan)

What would break down to almost 4 bucks per rental on the normal price

im sorry BUt i would rather rent locally and gamefly at full price

local video store gives 1/2 for 9.99 per month

i could get 5 5 day rentals
i could get 8 2 day rentals

for the same price as gamefly just shows gamefly just isnt worth it .
 
LOL they never caught me all the other times, I figured they wouldn't catch me this time either.... I made a smart ass post the other day about them hiring Jesus to catch cheaters, well he caught me. :roll:
 
WOW I thought just their physical receiving and shipping service was slow but the customer support sucks butthole as well!
I just received a reply to my email I on sent 4/11/06 at 9:56 am my time, 6:56am their time. In the email I was following up on my newly created account getting locked and asking how to free the 2 month trial code up from my account that so I could give it to someone else to use. Finally today they get back to me with this gem:
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica]" Your issue, reference number XX-XX, is still being researched by our customer service team. Since extra email volume slows down our response time please do not re-submit this issue.
You should expect a response within the next 2 business days. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. "

[/FONT]LOL I wonder if they have discovered all my old accounts using this 2 month deal yet? I wonder how long untill or even if they will free up my 2 month code so I can pass it on since they wont let me use it....

i heard they let a lot of their staff go due to profits starting to crash.... i got the same email for the last 2 questions i asked... used to hear back within 2 days now its 4- 7 days before you get an email back

rumor but i heard this is why they DROPPED the entire East coast shipping thing.. their profits are really starting to fall
 
Gamefly has realy gone downhill they wont work with u at all on the phone there rude they smart off they just dont care.

Now I have to waste my time with a crappy better buisness b complaint and I have no games.

I woudlnt advise anyone trying to use them at all if u have used them before I was told even if the name is diferent and the credit card I cant do one of these.

I was also told even if i move a million times that i cant start a new account.

I hope blockbuster puts them out of buisness they can buy constant airtime on g4 adds all over the net and in magazines yet they cant have more than one person working a damn phone line.

I have found that with the limiting the number of games per month they basically stop fast return if you have rented many games. My new account I just created as fast return while my old account that is on it's 4th month no longer does. LOL. I emailed them and of course they blame the post office, even though my new account doesn't have this issue. I can't believe no one has sued game fly for this BS about unlimited game rentals when in fact it's limited to like 6 or 7 rentals a month.
 
i just signed up the other day (first account) and it took them only a day to get me my game. Might have to do with me living in California, but they probably are better about sending out games faster for the new members.

(YEA RIGHT no way my Nazi store will do that!) I'm trying to get the gift the code unassociated with that account or get a gift account or something given to me so I can pass the trial months to someone else.

I emailed them back just now with a polite and detailed long email.. :whistle2:| We shall see what happens this time...

I live in Cali, and it took around five days for my first game to arrive even though two were shipped on the same day. Took two more days for other game to arrive. I was a new member by the way.
