▼ Read Me! FAQ ▼ Pre-Order $10 Program
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I pre-order and purchase multiple copies of a
qualifying game and get multiple awards?
No. There is a limit of one (1) award per My Best Buy
member per game title.
What if I pre-ordered a qualifying game before I
saw this offer?
If you pre-ordered a qualifying game before seeing
this offer, you’ll still qualify for the offer as long as
your member ID is attached to the transaction.
When will I receive my $10 reward certificate?
For each qualified purchase, you will receive 500 My
Best Buy points (worth $10 in reward certificates)
credited to your account approximately 15–20 days
after street date or store pickup.
If I pre-order a game now using my GCU and the
game releases after my membership ends, will
I still get the 20% off discount?
- From BestBuy Support Forums (link):
For in-store pre-orders, I can definitively say that if
your GCU membership is expired when you
complete your pickup, you will not receive the 20%
discount. This is because in-store pre-orders are not
processed until the time of pickup, and we only
collect an up-front deposit.

Pre-orders made on BestBuy.com are not as cut and
dry as in-store, but it is possible to retain your GCU
discount on a title released after your membership
expires for these types of pre-orders. Reason being,
when you place your pre-order the GCU discount is
calculated up front, and we then pre-authorize the
discounted total with your bank. If all goes well, the
discount can be retained upon release, however,
there is no guarantee.

A sure way to lose the discount on BestBuy.com
pre-orders is if any modifications are made to the
order prior to release, but after your membership
has expired. These modifications could be updating
the billing address, changing the form of payment,
and others. This is because when a modification is
made it triggers another authorization on your form of
payment, which should recalculate the price if your
GCU membership is no longer active.

There's gotta be some logistical reason why they are shipping it at the last minute based on where you are but they aren't changing their factors when it doesn't get there on time.

Floriduh, have you tried calling customer service and asking them to change their shipping algorithms for you?
 
Friendly reminder to all that ordered GOW from Best Buy with the Visa Checkout promo in Nov. 2016. If you updated your credit card the discount was likely removed. You’ll have to chat with customer service to get this $25 back or $12 per title if you ordered two games. 😀

When do you get certs?

I have an exclusive reward to get $10 cert if i spend $25 before 5/20. I pre-ordered Smash yesterday, so I should be getting $20 certs, but i didn't. do you think pre-orders might not count for the 5/20 thing?

You get the certificates when your item(s) ship and your payment method is charged.

Is Vampyr supposed to be any good? Looks pretty good.
Click to expand...
I don't think we'll know till it gets close to release but yeah looking pretty good. I remember in 2014/2015 people were pretty hyped for The Order too. So hard to tell which way these things will go. But it looks like a mix of Witcher 3, Bloodborne, and Vampire the Masquerade so the formula seems pretty strong. Not to mention the devs made Life is Strange - but that had no action combat, so we'll see if they can create a strong combat system.

Anybody else have to reset their password every time they try to log in to Best Buy's site? I also had to get a verification code via email before I could even checkout for my Detroit: Become Human pre-order.

No, but when I log on, it sits there and says "signing in" for like 2 minutes before it starts to load every single time.

yes, a couple days ago, same thing was happening for me.

 
I've had the BB site tell my my password was wrong but I just try again and it works. No need to change it every time you visit.

I have to do that verification thing almost every single time I order. Been that way for months. I changed my password a couple times to see if it would help but it did not.
 
Rumor is there's some multiplayer aspect to Fallout this time; possibly competing with Borderlands for co-op? Either way, waiting for the full reveal in case there's a steelbook version.

 
My GCU  runs out in July.  :( If I preorder games now like Smash Bros, will it charge the lower $47 price when it ships, after my GCU runs out? Someone told me it will and another told me it only will if you pay with paypal but not with just my debit card.

if your gcu expires after the release date, you will get charged full price of the game.

If you pre-order in store: You will be charged full price, since price is calculated at time of pickup.

If you pre-order online: You should get the lower price, since the price is calculated at the time the order is created. Just make sure your order doesn't get cancelled by an expired credit card or something.

I say "should" because this is how "online preorder where my GCU expires before the game comes out" has worked for the past 4 (or more) years, but the future is uncertain.

And people keep thinking this promo is dead. :lol:

This promo is great stacked with GCU. Once GCU is gone, it will still be ok if you already planned on getting a physical game on release day regardless, but not enticing enough for any games that you can wait a month or so for $40 or 6 months for even less.

Also, the reward cert value is somewhat negated by the immediate 5% off redcard at target (and pre order giftcard for AAA games) as well as digital discounts like the psn 20% codes, nintendo 5% in gold coins (or double like Aces) stacked with no tax zipcode.

I hope they change it to $20 in reward certs, though realistically I suspect that they are planning to move away from stocking physical games beyond guaranteed movers like CoD, Madden, Mario, etc.

Without GCU is going to plain suck regardless, especially on CEs. BB has been a godsend for these last years of GCU and I'll certainly have to curtail my game buying at launch once it's gone. Used to be safe to buy a game early on since a month or two after release would only end up being roughly the same price you paid at launch. Gotta say it will be weird paying full price again since it has been so long. . .

 
I'm trying to pre-order as much as I can on my GCU before it runs out. If my GCU dies before a game is released, but I pre-ordered before my GCU expired I'm good, right?

Look at the bright side, 1) you are a cag so you will not pay full price unless price is irrelevant 2) you will spend less money and finish more games 3) once you have passed the release week zeitgeist then you may reconsider how much a game is really worth to you and furthermore open the door to waiting for “complete” versions instead of vanilla which saves even more money.

All true. BB is the reason I ever started to have a backlog. Before I was on top of it and almost never had games waiting years to be played. GG.

I preordered Elder Scrolls Online Summerset, was supposed to come with a pre-order bonus code.

3 weeks after release and Best Buy has now sent me a completely blank email with no code, then told me to wait 24-48 more hours and check my spam folder, then told me to sign up for an account on their support forums and message their Gaming-BBY inbox, which then ignored my first message for assistance. Sent a second message attempt a week later, they told me they ran out of pre-order codes and just to wait. I pre-ordered the game in March. Their customer service blows hard.

Agreed. They have let their automated system get out of control and it's a 50/50 shot of getting your code when something releases on time these days. I've had to go after them a few times and I've also had codes sent to me for games I canceled. It's a mess and their only recourse is to manually send them on a case by case basis, which is such a waste of time and resources.
