[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]
^Thanks lordopus99!

[quote name='PhilsUtley26']$5 is max for in store preorder. Just avoid the issue and order online with store pickup.

I'm debating RE6 Anthology too. Got 65 in credit with Borderlands 2 points pending so if that clears before release date only $5 out of pocket. Might as well spend extra $30 for 5 other games.[/QUOTE]

$5 is not the max for preorders in store. I paid in full when I ordered FIFA 13, RE6 Anthology, AC III & BLOPS 2 HE. The person that helped you does not know what they are doing.
 
I hope I will still get the pre-order bonus and rz points for pre-ordering fifa 13. Just did it this morning 9/24 before work. Does anyone know if it still possible? The employee seem clueless when I asked him :roll:

Damn it! I'm so pissed now. I guess it's just not meant for me to get RE6 anthology. Because the employee gave me the impression that I virtually can only pay in full on release day. People like that is what makes me NOT go to bestbuy.:roll:

Actually I believe that's YMMV. Officially it's only $5. It's how their system works

YMMV then. Doesn't matter to me as I preorder online with in store pickup to avoid any problems.

That's their policy probably without manager override. Just order it online paid in full problem solved.
 
They make this things complicated...

The old gamer rewards program is gone?

Now I have to pay them 14.99 per year to get into the same gamer rewards program "unlocked" version?

so I buy Halo 4 I pay 99 +15 for membership - 20 for credit so in the end I get Halo 4 for 99 and 5$ credit which covers tax on the 99 so basically I gained NOTHING.

Help me understand
 
You get a magazine sub too. And the idea isn't to get just one game with the deal, but even if you do, you still gain something. That $5 isn't "nothing". You'll have to pay that tax anyway (or you should be at least), so its a perk.
 
[quote name='sninh']You also get 2x points on games and you get 10% extra for trades and 10% off for pre owned[/QUOTE]

You get the 2x points with the free gamer perks
 
[quote name='confoosious']I don't understand why you guys try so hard to get people to join GCu. If they can't figure out why it makes sense, f em.[/QUOTE]

I'm slowly beginning to take this approach. The service should speak for itself, and if people can't understand English, then why waste my time translating.
 
[quote name='confoosious']I don't understand why you guys try so hard to get people to join GCu. If they can't figure out why it makes sense, f em.[/QUOTE]

Yeah just let them go. 15 membership has probably got me over 150 in credit if not more.

I was just about to post this. You can lead a horse to water but you can't force a cag of 7 years to see the value of gcu.

Man if some of you guys are already getting your points from Borderlands 2 I'd love to be able to use the points I get from RE 6 towards Halo 4. Hopefully the points come in before Halo's release date
 
Have been trying to order fifa, I usually get email right after I order but haven't received anything and when I check order status it doesn't show up. Any idea why?

I have been getting my points 30 days after the date I preordered on, so I expect to get my borderlands 2 and RE6 points around 9/1-9/7.

You mean 10 not 9 ;)
 
I picked up FIFA 13 last night. My XBL code was on the receipt. I also received an email w/ the same code & instructions on how to redeem it. I received a "free" t-shirt last night as well.
 
[quote name='Kevlar338']Madden is on amazon for 40$ any chance bestbuy would pm over the phone , I've read people on here have had success in some stores ?[/QUOTE]

if you really want to pm the price of the game, the best chance is to go to your local bestbuy stores for the pricematch. they will denied you over the phone most likely, because it is against their policy

Can u post a pic?
 
Points still not showing in the transaction. For a company that is aware about the upc switch, they seem to be taking their time to resolve the problem.
 
Sorry just got an update feom BB:


Re: Best Buy ERROR: Preorder card skus switched for PC/PS3 on Borderlands 2, could negate $20 bonus

56 minutes ago Hello Vault Hunters!

Hyperion wants to thank you for your diligence in reporting the error with the PS3/ PC pre-order. While those cards were identified and destroyed, a handful of you met Handsome Jack and walked away... I mean, pre-ordered before the mistake was found.

Our Reward Zone "Angel" has corrected this issue and any customers who show as pre-ordering the PC version but who correctly purchased the eligible PS3 copy of the game will still see their 1000 points post within the promised 30 days.

In the words of CL4P-TP, "YAAAY!!!"

(Yeah... I am really enjoying this game)
 
My RZ points for BL2 showed pending but was no where to be found. Now it's not even pending! Lol, BB's RZ system is surely messed up good
 
Was able to pm at BB for $15 gift card for fifa 13 =D

But I think I didn't get any pre-order bonus. Unless they do it like Amazon where they send an email? The employee seem clueless :applause: O well I guess I can't complain. With RZ cert I end up paying $15 for fifa 13 :lol:
 
[quote name='aznhero913']I just pre-ordered Halo 4 vanilla and got an awesome poster w/ it!![/QUOTE]

Is that new? I pre-ordered in store last week and didn't get a poster...

I wants a poster!!! :lol:
I have to run back tonight to get my money back from another pre-order I'm not going to follow through on and pick up a few more things, I'll inquire.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but they posted already and it redeemed your points automatically for you. This happened to a few CAGs including myself. I felt the same way, then it hit a few days later :cry:

Officially, they don't. Some stores do it anyways to keep a sale from walking.
