That is nice, but still expensive I guess. I will wait for further price drop. Thanks OP
I agree cause if I didn't get the renewal coupon for 30 I probably wouldn't of renewed but not cause of the price but it seem games and selections are barren anymore in any the best buys I walk into anymore not as many games as there used to beI would imagine Best Buy will likely see new subscriptions drop substantially from here on out. $120 is a lot of money to ask folks to drop up-front for the casual customer.
i think they put a temp hold for a week or two, was even better for the collectors edition -$50 plus pre order and double reward zone pointsI'm sure it's been asked but I'm new to GCU. I went ahead and preordered Titanfall with it being $51 total plus the $10 giftcard, it's a no brainer compared to $64 at gamestop. Even if there's no midnight launch, no big deal as I have to work anyways.
Will I be charged $51 until it ships or is it an initial charge?
i dont think at $120 i would have ever signed up and even at $60 i wasnt sure but boy was i wrong.I would imagine Best Buy will likely see new subscriptions drop substantially from here on out. $120 is a lot of money to ask folks to drop up-front for the casual customer.
You're also one of those crazy people that bought a Collector's Edition of a game that costs half the price of the console.i think they put a temp hold for a week or two, was even better for the collectors edition -$50 plus pre order and double reward zone points

ac4 ce $43
ps4 controller, knack and kz4 for $72
titanfall ce $180ish
fable anniversary $31
i more than covered my $60 GCU, for me bestbuy is the hottest spot right now if you got the 2 years for $30/$60 imho.
I had the same thing happen, new 4/15 date, possibly a tax return promotion?Hey please listen. If you have an email coupon please try to print it out. The email clearly states it expires on the 10th. I was gonna print it out and see if they will honor it anyways. I printed it out and the expiration date changed from the 10th to April 15th. See if it will work for you guys. Remember just go to the email version on the coupon and click to web version on the coupon and then do a print preview and print it out. My dage changed on it. Let me know if anyone else have the same success.
Tax return promotion, ha ha good one.I had the same thing happen, new 4/15 date, possibly a tax return promotion?
This math only adds up if you ONLY use Best Buy. The logic here is bad unless you buy only X games total and all at BBY. Now if you buy games elsewhere then you're looking at buying 2 or 3 or 4 or more times as many games per year to break even. I have a Target Red Card and get 5% off everything I buy with it. If a game is $60 and I'm buying full price, instead of saving 20% with gamers club unlocked, I'd be saving only 15% because I could have 5% off even without paying them their fee. Not to mention I'm a pharmacy rewards member and get another 5% off with that and this month they have an online coupon code for $5 off a $50 purchase. That means I can save $11 on a new $60 game at Target vs $12 savings at BBY that I have to pay them $60 a year to get! Not a great deal. I'd have to buy 60 games at full price to break even, not 5.$120 is for two years, so that makes $60 per year. Considering a savings of 20%, you save $12 on an average $60 new release. You have to buy 5 full-priced $60 new release games a year to even reach a point when you actually start saving money.
If you're someone like me that waits for $30 price points at the most, you'd have to double that, and buy 10 games a year at $30 before you see any benefit of the plan.
Now I definitely buy at least 10 to 15 new games a year (at $30 or less), but only about half are at Best Buy, so I'd have to force myself to start buying more games at Best Buy before I even hit the break even point.
So yeah, that's gonna be a tough sell to anyone but the folks that buy a new game weekly.
That would make it worth it I"m sure but while I've heard a lot of people talking about this coupon, I've never seen it. Is it a unique code that they're only mailing to their high rollers or something?The coupon I was referring to was the $30 for 2 yrs coupon.
I have spent tons of money at BB and actually have as of right not over 2,600 points in my account for points. I never received the coupon until I called and got it on the 10th but the store was closed. I was pissed. Like I said earlier I printed it out earlier to see if they would honor it and the date chaged to 4/15. Gonna redeem it next week but it is totally worth it for that price.That would make it worth it I"m sure but while I've heard a lot of people talking about this coupon, I've never seen it. Is it a unique code that they're only mailing to their high rollers or something?
That was the first round of coupons sent out to existing gcu members when the program was revamped. Thats the one I used myself.That would make it worth it I"m sure but while I've heard a lot of people talking about this coupon, I've never seen it. Is it a unique code that they're only mailing to their high rollers or something?
Which coupon did you get?the coupons you get when you sign up for unlocked also got new expiration dates, mine used to expire the end of February, but i loaded them back up today to print and they now expire the last day of March.
B2G1F used, 10% on a digital gaming purchase, and 50% off any guideWhich coupon did you get?
crazy cause its not something you would do lol sorry im not poor nor a cheap ass. i buy what i want when i want it, titanfall is a amazing game and i like statues. saving $50 off retail, $10 for pre ordering, another $10 for double reward points yup dont know what im thinking lol.You're also one of those crazy people that bought a Collector's Edition of a game that costs half the price of the console.
Yeah, it's not like Best Buy has been absolutely killing it lately with deals. And then everyone in the "suckers club unlocked" is getting an additional 20% on top of that or anything.This is why I call this "suckers club unlocked". You're getting a deal and comparing it to MSRP and not comparing it to the price you could get elsewhere. You aren't saving $12. You're saving the difference between what you paid and the next lowest price (which is the price you would have paid had you not been a member of this program).
Wait....so you're not a cheap ass....crazy cause its not something you would do lol sorry im not poor nor a cheap ass. i buy what i want when i want it, titanfall is a amazing game and i like statues. saving $50 off retail, $10 for pre ordering, another $10 for double reward points yup dont know what im thinking lol.

Oh wait, yes they have.
U mad bro?
I'm not going to pick this apart like I could, but just to mention you also get double points at Best Buy, as well as $10 in points for preordering most of the popular titles. So, if you got a new release...lets say Titanfall...you're paying $47.99. Plus you're getting $10 back in reward zone points. Plus you're getting 94 points (almost half of another $5). Plus it counts towards elite/plus.This math only adds up if you ONLY use Best Buy. The logic here is bad unless you buy only X games total and all at BBY. Now if you buy games elsewhere then you're looking at buying 2 or 3 or 4 or more times as many games per year to break even. I have a Target Red Card and get 5% off everything I buy with it.

That means I can save $11 on a new $60 game at Target vs $12 savings at BBY that I have to pay them $60 a year to get! Not a great deal. I'd have to buy 60 games at full price to break even, not 5.

i have no problem spending, i want the best deals and bestbuy with GCU is killing it. its $70 off retail for a collectors edition on launch. you got me i should have said he was a broke ass is that better?Wait....so you're not a cheap ass....
..but you're on CheapAssGamer AND defending saving $50 off retail...?
points are doubled with GCU but i agree with you.I'm not going to pick this apart like I could, but just to mention you also get double points at Best Buy, as well as $10 in points for preordering most of the popular titles.

Not even counting this new release logic. show me where Target has came close to ANY of Best Buys deals over the past month.
If you have to do all that work and stack 7 different promos that may or may not expire every time you want to ALMOST get the same price as Best Buy, you're doing it way wrong.
Hell, I don't mind sharing.Me and two other friends share gcu, isn't everyone doing this?
Yes sir, got get those rewards points. He gave me $15 towards the $60, and he's buying Thief on Tuesday. But I get all the points... mwahahahha.Me and two other friends share gcu, isn't everyone doing this?
i think thats looking for trouble. i'd buy a extra copy for a friend but not sure im just letting others in different states use it.Those of you who let your friends use your discount. Have you let more than 1 friend use it in different states as well?
