CAGiversary!
According to someone claiming to be a BB employee GCU is no longer being sold, so once your subscription runs out it's over.
Can confirm when you click to renew online it says:Its no longer available online...
At least there’s still Prime discounts.According to someone claiming to be a BB employee GCU is no longer being sold, so once your subscription runs out it's over.
dammit, mine ran out and i was about to renew this past week. WTFIts no longer available online...
I can guarantee that Amazon will phase out the Prime discount now that the very reason they started it is gone.At least there’s still Prime discounts.
Now only if Amazon would start carrying first party Sony titles.
Glad I preordered Detroit a few days ago with my GCU discount.
Sounds like the registers won't allow it to be sold in stores as of today either.So if you go in store and renew for 2 more years, they will keep honoring the 20% until it runs out?
the letter says employees to stop offering it and it will stop prompting for it, it doesn't say the purchase will be blocked today.. maybe tomorrow thoughSounds like the registers won't allow it to be sold in stores as of today either.
This! Think old Jeffy boy is going to keep it around after this? Lol.I can guarantee that Amazon will phase out the Prime discount now that the very reason they started it is gone.
People are saying it doesn't scan anymore.Can anyone actually confirm if it still works in store or not?
Someone confirmed earlier in the thread it's no longer working in stores. I just texted my old co-workers there too to get some further info if possible.Can anyone actually confirm if it still works in store or not?

You can't even use Best Buy gift cards to buy other cards like PS/XB credit. Legitimately no reason to shop there for games anymore.Incredibly stupid move by BB. If they don't replace it with a new program they're about to lose a shit ton of customers
if they were losing money it's not a stupid move. I'm sure they will lose a ton of customers, but if they were barely making money from those customers I doubt they care.Someone confirmed earlier in the thread it's no longer working in stores.

This. I mean we got close to $13 off on a $60 game, that couldn't have been great for business on it's own. I'm honestly surprised it lasted as long as it did (tho still disappointed to see it go)i never really understood how they were making money on it anyway. 20% off is probably a good amount of their profit. They were probably trying to make it up in volume and as a loss leader to accessories and getting people in the store but their numbers probably showed it didn't give enough benefit.
Wrong. The program was more than likely leading to losses given the super slim margins retailers make on game sales already.Someone confirmed earlier in the thread it's no longer working in stores. I just texted my old co-workers there too to get some further info if possible.
