[quote name='lordopus99']$20 Reward Zone Gamer's Club Unlocked for Dummies

1) You will not get your $20 RZ until around the 30-35 day mark (after purchase). Stop worrying about it until that point.
2) The RZ website is far from accurate. Proof in point, the RZ silver bar. Again, see #1. Patience is a virtue.

What does this mean on a purchase?
- RZGC UNLOCKED PO 10 DISCOUNT - Your 10% discount for Pre Owned Games. This will show up for ANY purchase (gaming or not) as long as you are Gamer's Club Unlocked.
- PS-(system)-(game) i.e. PS-X360-RESIDENT EVIL 6 - This is your preorder being deducted from the purchase of the game.

Preorder DLC Bonus - You need to have an email address associated to your Reward Zone account. This is the email address they will send your DLC code to. It typicially can take a day to obtain this. Potentially up to a week. Note your luck of getting this by the time you get home is a crapshoot. Wait a week and then call customer service if you haven't received.

FOR YOUR POINTS...
If your physical receipt shows like below, you should get your $20RZ preorder bonus.

EXCHANGE

Original Tran (Cust Serv Pin) Date

Return Items
Pre-order SKU PS-(system)-(game) 5.00-

Sale Items
SKU Name of Game for above 59.99

The complaining about these points/DLC need to die down. Come on guys/gals...

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE[/QUOTE]

[quote name='chris00cm']Have they added games to this deal or is it just me?[/QUOTE]I think it's just you, unless they added a sports title or something else that doesn't interest me.
 
Haven't bought a game from best buy in awhile, but I bought all my fall games from them and will be doing it again.

So I'm signing up for the gamers club tomorrow and I'm going to preorder ass creed, res evil, codblops, halo and borderlands. I wish darksiders was part of the deal. What's the price adjusmet policy now? I remember hearing it changed. I want darksiders day 1 but I know there will be a drop or sale pretty fast.

Just a heads up: ass creed has the free steelbook, halo has a litograph, and blops2 has free dogtags if you preorder in store and if they have them in stock.

4-6 weeks apartently, I'm coming up on 4 weeks and nothing yet. Hope I get them by the next magazine.

I'm still not in the system and I signed up almost a month ago. Pretty weak it takes that long.

30 days for reg. members 60 for silver members I'd expect them to extend the policy like last year starting in mid-late Oct for returns/pm's thru Feb. 2013

[quote name='mgorsi']Really hoping that they add Forza Horizon to the list[/QUOTE]vote for it in the OP link if you haven't already, there's new booklets out with the games that should be showing up by August but they will most likely just add the $10/$20 RZ deal just like they did for MP3 & ME3.

You need to check on that if it's been that long someone messed up.

[quote name='209chromatic']Is Black Ops 2 also included?

If it's in the link in the OP it's in the promo.
 
Just pre-ordered Madden NFL 12 and didnt have to pay a penny and still have about $35 left on my Gift Card. This promo will get me the five games I want for basically free. I wont have to pay another penny. Awesome deal!!! :)

When I pre-ordered NCAA 13 I was charged immediately. However, when I went and picked it up, the next day on my CC account, I noticed that they refunded me the entire amount, then turned around and charged me again. So, not sure what that was all about...
 
Tempted by Madden 13, this is supposed to be a pretty big leap forward over the previous year with the physics engine, also Megatron on the cover is pretty sweet too. Getting it essentially half off.. decisions decisions :)

Does anyone else have the points pending but the transaction not in your account? (on a side note I did it on the 13th and none of my purchases from friday the 13th are showing up :eek:)

There's color booklets showing all the listed titles along with the promo itself which will be displayed in the gaming areas so technically there will be no more games added TO THIS PROMO.

The reg. $10 RZ points or GC for reg. RZ members & $20 for GCU is still up for grabs so keep voting don't wish for a title you want to be added & hope enough of other people get the tally to 90-100 votes. We're at 42 votes so far & 94 for the @gamer online usage I think they're still working to make it "exploit proof" & get the system bug free. Looking at the volume of sales from the $10 savings code deal hopefully they'll add a club for Movies/music where this continues yr round along with the same benefits you get from B&N

I already voted for the additional $20 rewards a while back, but I am definitely not feeling another another club program and tiered levels of a paid membership. Not only is that bound to eventually result in silver members getting what the regular paid members get now with the current membership level becoming more and more just a magazine subscription (if you don't think Best Buy will move perks from the $15 a year level to the spend $1,000 a year level if they think they can than you are way too trusting of a corporation). More so, that would make a total of 7 different membership(s) and levels that Best Buy customers could be a part of (RZ, RZ Silver, GC, GCU, GCU-Silver, MMM, MMM-SIlver) which is guaranteed to result in more errors and screw-ups than any mortal can honestly conceive of. Not to mention that it will cost them that much more to handle the increased administrative cost, the increase in marketing by trying to create offers, code and produce and then market said offers. I really can't see Best Buy going for it, or pulling it off. Not to mention that movies and music is a dieing part of their business that I can't see them investing much in at this point. Target has a better selection of both at this point.
 
Yeah BB needs to get the Gamer Club figured out before they start trying to add tiers to it. The idea and deals are great, although the execution is straight up awful.

Most of the employees have relatively no idea what's going on in the store with deals and promotions, if anything they need to simplify their processes, not add more and complicate them.
 
[quote name='6er']Is that a nickname? Or are the decepticons actually allowed in the draft now?[/QUOTE]

lol, it's the Detroit Lion's wide receiver Calvin Johnson's nickname. It was given to him by a college teammate because of his size, speed, shape, stature and freakish athletic abilities. He has huge hands and is 6 1/2' tall. Just an awesome player, especially if you play fantasy football. :)

There's a reason that I make detailed post for ideas giving them free thought for paid programs can lead to bad news for customers but if you're gonna ask for the world you gotta meet halfway. The key is for the programs to be profitable on each level thus they won't want to upset the balance.
1- I listed it out so things are added to the programs not taken away but I do understand your concern.
2- They already screw stuff up now I don't want them to become bland b/c they're afraid to change/adapt which will result in the death of the company.
3- The ideas are high profit & somewhat low start-up plus they introduce new revenue sources & are ways to really boost foot/web traffic.
4- They'd need a new team/person w/outta the box thinking which honestly is something they need now anyways. It just takes the right person to show them the way.
5- It'll be a long time before physical media dies. US web speeds pale to oversees quality but we pay thru the nose. The money that's made residually from physical media will keep it from dying.
6- Not even close in my areas, they don't have all the seasons of tons of TV shows & they're DVD/BLU isn't even close in quantity, but they have so much other stuff like food, towels, oil, bleach...
I agree it's not going to be a quick process but if done correctly both customers/company will be very happy.

Completely agree but they're slow to change now more like treading water, however if they were to begin upgrading correctly the entire program needs to be fix from the ground up. If they go that route fixing everything & upgrading is cheaper/more efficient when done at once step by step.

looks like forza horizon won't be added. why doesn't Amazon have Forza Horizon Limited Edition?

Anyway, bump, it took me a while to find this. never been to the 4th page before lol
 
When did that pre-order Borderlands 2, get Borderlands GOTY promotion for $9.99 end?

I've been traveling a lot lately so I just never did it, looks like I missed out on it though. Might go into Best Buy tomorrow and see if I can get them to give it to me anyway if it has ended.

Guess I just didn't pay enough attention to it to realize it was just a week thing. I didn't have a ton of interest in it, but it's starting to grow on me. Doubt I'll get it, but if I get the manager that has hooked me up before, maybe he'll approve it.
 
And need for speed most wanted but I might wait till black friday for this need for speed always seems to go on sale then
 
I don't know if this has been covered somewhere, but if I pre-order Madden today, does my 60-day price adjustment guarantee as a Silver member start with today's date or the day it comes out? I'm trying to figure out if I should wait another week or two to pre-order it and the the verbiage on their website only mentions giving the lower price if it drops prior to shipment and doesn't address when the timeframe begins.

Should be when you pick the game up. They can't charge you until you pick the game up, so you really haven't paid for anything yet.

He wrote his name on the box?

Wow, there's nothing on that list for me until November. Last year I bought 1 game a month or more starting in August until Dec.
 
Lol just making sure.
So would I be able to trade it in they don't know it's my copy that I bought from there realisticly
 
does anyone know if an online order of ac3 will come with the steelbook and pre order dlc if I get it shipped to me (as in no in store pick up). thanks.
 
[quote name='GarrettKapman']does anyone know if an online order of ac3 will come with the steelbook and pre order dlc if I get it shipped to me (as in no in store pick up). thanks.[/QUOTE]

Yes. The steelbook should show up as a separate line item in your cart when you checkout. It'll automatically be listed for "shipping" even if you use "store pickup" for the game. The DLC is a sub-item bundled with the game.
