Get $20 trade-in Credit when you trade 4 or more games (Current gen games only (no PS2) and $5 minimum for each game). Offer valid 10/2/11 - 10/08/11 **** This promo was cancelled early due to technical issues. There have been issues with this promo not working on some stores' systems or simply not even being available, the issue seems to be related to disc-only games (or any game that is typed rather than scanned) so plan accordingly. The $20 extra is once per trade-in, meaning 4 games or 123 games it will only be $20 extra per transaction. So if you want to trade in 8 games, do it in two separate transactions. ****

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

F.A.Q. Best Buy has a short FAQ here.

How does the get **% with pre-order bonus work?
The percentage is based on the final total of your entire trade in, so if the trade in is $100 and there is a 50% bonus your final gift card value will be $150. After trading in your games, the employee SHOULD then sell you the pre-order for $5.

How much is a pre-order at Best Buy?
Pre-ordering at Best Buy cost $5, in fact, you aren't supposed to pay any more than that (and most employees won't let you if you ask). Yes, you can use the gift card you just received from your trade-in to purchase the pre-order.

Can I cancel a pre-order and keep the bonus?
Yes, the trade-in and the pre-order are completely separate transactions. Nothing will prevent you from returning to the Best Buy canceling the pre-order and receiving a refund. Some users have claimed that they were flagged for doing this multiple times though and were denied, so be aware of how many pre-orders you are cancelling. Also keep in mind the obvious facts that this is not how the program is intended to work and over abuse will negatively affect the program long-term. Lastly, returns are tracks on a personal level by a third party. (Read: try not to cancel a bunch of pre-orders)

Do I have to cancel the pre-order at the same store where it was made?
No, this can be handled by any BBY. Don't be surprised if you get a customer service employee who says otherwise though.

Can I pre-order once and get the pre-order bonus on my next trade-in as well?
YMMV. Officially, the answer is no, but there is nothing that actually requires the employee to sell the pre-order in order to apply the bonus so if your blue shirt is in a friendly mood they may be willing. Doesn't hurt to get to know the employees at your store. That said, expect that you will have to pre-order another game and be surprised if you don't.

Can I combine a 3 games for **% and a pre-order for **% bonus?
No. Bonuses do not stack, and you must pick one or the other. The only bonus that stacks with other promotions is the 10% you receive if you are a Gamers Club Unlocked member.

How do I become a Gamers Club Unlocked member and get the 10% bonus?
Any video game section employee should be able to set you up with the GCU membership. It cost $15 and comes with a year subscription of @Gamer magazine. It will also get you a 10% bonus on trade ins and 10% off of used games (Make sure to point it out to the blue shirt doing your trade-in though as it is easy for them to skip, and they are still new to it). It can take 48 hours (or more) for GCU to show up on your Reward Zone membership.

Can I use my Best Buy gift card to purchase Amazon Kindle Gift Cards or Visa Gift Cards?
Yes, although some employees may not be aware of this and incorrectly refuse to do so. Visa Gift Cards have a $200 limit and a $6 activation fee. Amazon Gift Cards are available in $25, $50 and $100 depending on your store selection. IL does not sell Amazon Gift Cards. Yes, Kindle Gift Cards are good for anything on Amazon.

The value on the site doesn't match the store, why?
Sometimes the page may not update immediately. This is fairly rare though. The store's trade-in values are definitive though, so what they say is what you get. 99.99% of the time they will match up.

The value on the iPhone app is way off, why?
The app sucks for updating values (and some games simply don't show up), don't rely on it.

The game I want to trade isn't on the site, what gives?
While rare, there have been some games recently not showing up in the online estimator. You can always check in-store to see if the price is in their system and simply not online, but that is unlikely to be the case. When Best Buy doesn't have a game on file they can offer $1 as a generic SKU, but that's it. New releases appear to be added on Tuesday evenings. Many new releases are taking upwards of a week or more to be added to the site.

When do trade-in values update?
No one knows for sure, but major updates seem to come on Sunday and Tuesday nights (or at least have in the past). Sometimes an update will happen randomly, such as when GameStop has an advertised sale for a game well below Best Buy's trade in price.

What will be the TIV of Game X tomorrow/next week / next month/ etc
Nobody knows.

If I locked in a trade online, and the value drops, will I still get the locked in value when I mail it in?
Yes. You will get the locked in TIV as long as the item is received within 14 days of you locking it in (and the item is in the condition you described it as).

Can you lock in the price online then trade it in-store?
No.

Is there a limit to how many games I can trade in?
Officially, Best Buy only accepts 3 copies of a game, per system (i.e. you could trade in 3 copies of a game for Xbox, 3 copies for PS3 and 3 for Wii). This is for sure the online policy, but it varies in stores. Some people have reported being banned for trading in more than 3 copies of games, others have done so frequently without issue. Obviously it is YMMV, but do so at your own risk.

Can I trade game disc only, or do I need the case and manuals, too?
Best Buy accepts disc only games (for the same value as complete games). The trade in will take longer though as the employee will have to look up the games individually.

Can I trade in games that say "Not for Resale" on the back?
Yes, since the only thing that matters is the disc. Some employees will fight this though, and in that case, just trade the game in as disc-only.

Does Best Buy accept game hardware?
Currently Best Buy only accepts various versions of the Nintendo DS in store, but word is that will change soon.

Does the **% bonuses apply to game hardware?
No, games only.

When I do a in-store trade, I am asked: to be fingerprinted, to have my photo taken, how much I weigh, etc. What's the deal?
Pawn shop laws regulating trade-ins and resale of used goods varies from state to state or city to city. It is not Best Buy's rule, and varies from store to store depending on where you live. At a minimum you'll likely need a state ID.

I went to a store to do a trade-in and they asked for a Best Buy receipt. WTF?
Some stores are required to have receipts to accept trade-ins, again this is due to local Pawn shop laws and could vary from city to city. You can always check if the store(s) near you require a receipt on Best Buy's trade-in site.

Can I trade sealed games?
Yes. You must present your receipt for the sealed games you are trading in. It is ok if the purchase was made from another store. You do run the risk of drawing extra attention to yourself as trading in sealed products is often a sign of theft. Do not be surprised if this is questioned by an employee, or you are asked to leave, open the items and return.

I just got banned. I filled my traded in game cases with workout DVDs which I've been doing for months and getting away with using a fake Id under the name Rick Manly. They never checked anything past the condition because I'd take off the DVD labels and yesterday I came in and they were waiting for me. Arrest/ban for ole Rick Manly.

Wat is this I don't even?

[quote name='Donut2922']Just because 10 people fessed up doesnt mean that a mass banning didnt already occur or is still looming. If anything I give credit to them for posting about it to warn others. I suspect many that were already banned have kept it to themselves to just save face and risk getting flamed for it here. That doesnt include all the banned lurkers here either.[/QUOTE]

You know as well as I do that most of the biggest abusers (most likely to get banned) on this site are also the ones that get the most butthurt when they do get banned.

Yep. I'm sure they will miss a few abusers but I doubt anyone who did get banned didn't abuse the system. Like Shawshank, everyone is innocent.

I gotta think if you trade in 3 of a game once in a while, they might just say "whatever" but if you trade in like 3 of a game for 20 games, they might figure out you're abusing the system even if you're technically within the rules. I know a lot of people think as long as you stay 3 and under, you're fine, but if they think you're a dealer, they can ban you.
 
I just left my local Best Buy picking up the Hangover 2, and stopped off in the gaming section just to talk to the Gaming Supervisor. She expressed her displeasure once again about me being banned and how, "it wasn't fair." I told her, "it wasn't a big deal, and it's done. I'll shop here still, just not trade." She then tells me she should just hit the override on the trade-in prompt, and let me continue trading. I then tell her, "It's not worth anyone getting in trouble over." "I won't get in any trouble. My Store Manager might." She says."Well I don't want him in trouble either." I tell her. She's going to run overriding the prompt by him she tells me on my way out. Anyone else think this chick is just trying to get in my pants?

Sounds like it to me. Ask her out for coffee, or better yet, ask her over to your place so she can try out your joystick. ;)

Hell yes dude. Is she hot?
 
It's a mismatch in any sport. Different weight class. She also mentioned about going from 1st in their district in game trade-ins to last, so maybe there's some desperation to get that jumber back up. Don't know. I'm content with using a middleman. Just thought I'd share my possible unbanning(probably not).

lol
 
two of the girls in gaming at my regular store are bangin', the other one... is a great conversationalist... (okay, so actually she's pretty cool, but yeah) and the other gaming employee is a guy, a guy who wears skinny pants.
 
It's all true, for those of us in relationships. We would take the gift card. I would take 20$ over sex. I get plenty of sex for free from the wife. Free money is way more rare.

Those not in relationships are probably hard up and sex is worth a whole lot more than gift cards. There were times in my life that I would have taken the girl over 50$ or even 100$.
 
ok, so I got the big ban hammer today. Took in a huge amount of games, at the end said I had violated policy or whatnot. Gave them a prompt that if they knew it wasn't me to click override. They just overrode it and kept going lol. I love my guys at my store. They just said next time give them a different ID number, and we will just keep going hahahahaha.

(im 100% serious about them saying that even)
 
[quote name='KtMack23']You need to get of your keyboard and into an actual relationship.[/QUOTE]

I am in a relationship. That's why I'd take the strange. Gift cards you can just walk in and buy.
 
I didn't get the ban, but I did the 40% extra bonus without buying a game. I showed them that I did a return re-buy to get a free game, and they were all over $40. The gaming manager asked me what I was trading in, since I was trading in the new Wii Zelda and Kirby, and I'm In there at least twice a week, he let me get the bonus without having to buy another game. Like a boss 8)

Ok, to add even more to this. I just went back up there and had my buddy try a fake trade in for me. It went all the way through, no problem. That alert screen never returned either. Wonder if one override is all it takes to make it go away for good?

So is the purchase 39.99 and up like the others? Where they dont really have to combine the transaction or do the 39.99 purchase with the tradein?
 
[quote name='Abeja']So is the purchase 39.99 and up like the others? Where they dont really have to combine the transaction or do the 39.99 purchase with the tradein?[/QUOTE]

I believe so, because he had a lacky do the actual trade and no override was needed so I would think its based just on them checking the little box.
 
No you not need to purchase the $39.99 game on the same transaction ad the trade in. One time they just handed me the gift card with 40% bonus added because I told them I wasn't sure what I was buying yet. Another time they couldn't do it in the same transaction because i was paying for half my purchase in cash and they didn't have any cash in their till so was again handed the gift card with bonus 40%. I did however end up buying a $40 game both times....not saying you have to though.
 
lol, i guess id take money if some hot chic wanted to do it, but usually im cool and don't need the cash. rather her bring party favors than $$.

so i went to my bestbuy and flipped some more games today, just to see if i was banned from buying/flipping 9 nintendogs the other day and buying/flipping sr3x2, and the gaming supervisor told me I need to bring in more games. I only brought like 4 games up and he said that I havnt been bringing the stacks I used to bring in and that he needs to get his trade in #'s back up again and im the guy that usually does it. lol, so i guess no banhammer from him anyway.
peace all
 
Makes me wonder if the banning prompt is ignored initially by the clerk, does it ever show up again? It'd explain a whole lot.

Got the ban notice today. The supervisor says he will continue to accept them and hit override. No clue how long that will last.

It was time for it. I had cross the limits numerous times and bought online and traded them in on the spot. If it ends soon it was fun while it lasted. Got a new washer/dryer/tv/bed and more out of it.

If only massage parlors with happy endings take BBY GC I would be flipping games alot. And if you think you're being unfaithful to your wife, they say "it's not cheating if you pay for it".

In other note I haven't traded in anything in over a month because of the TIV dropping, I'm pretty sure the gaming dept. misses me.
 
Just traded in two copies of :360: Saints Row 3 towards :360: Saints Row 3, Halo Anniversary, and :ps3: SOTC/Ico collection, and the employee wasn't too happy with me. Told me: I have a problem with you buying that game. I need you to go get a different one.

Sat there looking at games for a good five minutes and it came down to :360: Rage and :ps3: Saints Row 3, but I couldn't justify Rage for $49.99. Brought the game to him and asked if that was okay, and he stared at me for a couple of seconds and said, "Fine." I kind of wanted to ask why one was okay, and the other wasn't, but eh, whatever.

Probably not the smartest thing I've done, trading in games I just bought the day before, but the guy I bought the games from yesterday seemed completely down with the idea.

I don't really want the game for the Playstation 3, though, so I might go back down on Friday to see if they got the MGS Collection in stock. But I've the feeling that might be playing with fire if he's there again.

Been spending a lot more time in Best Buy since they've been opening at 9:00, and consequently, I've been spent more money the past couple of weeks. It makes my lunch breaks go quicker.
