[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='ajh2298']Quick question for you if you dont mind. Did the general purchase of the game show up before today? Or did both the purchase and the 1000 points get liseted today at the same time?

Thanks[/QUOTE]The purchase took about three days to show up at all, but with no bonus points. Bonus points didn't appear in the transaction for a little over a week.
 
[quote name='jrr6415sun']same thing happened with me.. someone from the geek squad had to do my preorder because my bestbuy sucks and can't afford to hire a game specialist.. ofcourse she didn't put the dlc on it.

i got an email an hour ago with my dlc

my only question is if the $20 gc will go to my account even if the employee didn't put the dlc on my receipt[/QUOTE]

Should be fine so long as the your receipt says "exchange" and has the $5 pre-order and purchase on the same ticket. As far as I know their two separate promotions.

I had to talk to five different employees before getting one who knew how to do it correctly, but if I hadn't, i might not have gotten the pre-order DLC or this bonus at all. One customer service rep actually suggested cancelling the sale and re-ringing it up :( Fortunately, I chose not to.
 
I got the Dishonored code emailed to me today despite the BB employee not selecting it so it was not on the receipt. I never got any codes for Borderlands or RE6-were there any?
 
Ordered the game online Sunday. Received the code yesterday. Received the game and lantern together today. No show on pending points or anything of the sort. Not worried though. If they don't show up in 30 days like expressed in the fine details, I'll shoot CS a call.

If you pre-ordered RE6, you should receive The Rail Yard Mercenaries DLC (I didn't, I had to call Capcom with my BBY information after multiple calls to BBY) and with Borderlands 2, you get The Premiere Club DLC.

Thanks. I will gather my receipts and make some calls.
 
inky, you could also PM Gaming-BBY on their forums. It's a bit slower, but far more dependable than calling. Most of those people on the phone have no clue what is what. Personally, when I don't get my preorder DLC, that's what I do (PM Gaming-BBY).
 
Just picked up Dishonored. Pretty cool lamp. I wonder if its worth rushing though. $27 base value. So basically free rental and free lamp with the $20 promo considering I used a gift card to pay.

I'm only about an hour in and already I can tell that this is a game you will want to play through at least 2 or 3 times. It's gonna be a lot of fun to replay without killing anyone.

Also my DLC finally came in e-mail today and I ordered via the pre-order kiosk in store so hopefully everyone who did that also got theirs!

RE: The Rail Yard/RE6 DLC - I PM'd the Gaming BBY and never received a f/u reply (and still haven't). I also sent an email and never received a reply. I called multiple times and was just told to wait. Be prepared to be persistent if you really want them.
 
I pre-ordered RE6, picked it up and exchanged it for the Anthology version at another store. I don't see any acknowledgement of getting the $20 code, is there a reason why? Should I have the points "pending" in my recent purchase history yet?

Hey thanks a lot man! I found the link a few pages back and used that(also mentioning that there are no 1000 point pending for my Resident Evil 6 Anthology preorder). Curious to see what the mods can do there. Thanks again!
 
Did anybody else's 1000 points from PO NBA or RE6 just dissapeared from their account? I checked earlier today and saw that I had 1000 points pending and I just checked now and it just dissapeared?
 
[quote name='perfectsil']I like the lamp :) looks like it has blue flame lol. was thinking about selling it on ebay for $15-20 but I'm keeping it[/QUOTE]

My wife likes the lamp, I got home from work and she already has it lit up and on display on top of the HTPC.

Standard reply time on the forums is 3-5 business days. Sometimes it does take longer - depends on the volume they have to reply to. So yes, just be patient.

That's my plan, although not rushing, but game isn't that long. Getting ready to get into the last mission of my stealth/no kill/no powers run, then I will do the kill everything run. I'll probably be done tomorrow night and if the $27 holds for the next two days that's $43.20 after the 50% trade bonus and 10% unlocked. Plus sold the DLC and lamp, so free game and $20 cert, not bad.
 
have to say I'm tempted to do this, especially since I am pretty disappointed with gamestop. I need to look into pre-ordering online.

Do it, GameStop is evil.
 
I pre-ordered Dishonored Monday night, but have not picked the game up yet. I do not have the pre-order DLC email yet, does this indicate that I won't get it or the $20 credit since I pre-ordered so late or do you have to actually pick the game up to get sent the codes. I rented it for free from redbox to make sure I would enjoy it and love it, but don't want to pay $59.99 for it unless I get the extras. Thanks.

You more than likely will not get it since your preordered version was returned.
 
[quote name='sninh']You want the extras for a game you haven't even picked up yet?[/QUOTE]

I just want to make sure I qualify for the $20 credit if I pick the game up, usually you can't pre-order the night before, but this week it was different.
 
Another 20$ posted, but still no Dishonored DLC.

After pm their gaming department, I got my key. So now I'm hoping for the normal process to send me another key that I can sell on EBay. It might happen LOL

I picked up anthology on release day, and my transaction shows up fine, just no preorder bonus

Nope and many of us have posted on the Bestbuy.com forums and they haven't responded to us. I sort of knew there was going to be a problem when I preordered it online because it wasn't super clear that the promotion applied to it even though the forum moderators on BestBuy.com swore up and down it was. There is clearly a problem as I not only have my Dishonored points pending, but they just posted this morning and I now have a $20 cert ready to use.
 
I was one of the Anthology buyers and called CS a couple days ago. The lady put a "note" on my account with a claim number. Said if points didn't show up in alloted time, call back up with the claim numer and they should just post the $20 manually.

I mean its clear off my transactions that I preordered it in time. The only thing that may be different in MY case is that I went back that night to PM Anthology and they did some weird process that looks as of they returned my original copy and rerung it up, possibly voiding the promo.

Either way...you can be damn sure I'm getting my $20.

yes, you can preorder the night before. many ppl have done that. if you do not pickup your game. you are not going to receive the $20 and the dlc code.

How did you manage to order it for instore pickup on the last day of preorder? I had to get it shipped to me. I got my DLC code before it even got shipped. I still haven't got the $20 posted to my account though but it hasn't been 5 days yet so not worried yet.

if you call in within one hour, after placing your online order. you have the option of switching it to instore pickup. i did it with fifa 13 last time.
 
Well it surpassed 35 days since I preordered borderlands. I had to call customer service. 30 minutes later I got my $20 certificate, they still didn't give me the $63.84 in points that I spent on the game. I don't feel like calling again and I really shouldn't have to. I'm happy for everybody that is having luck with this promo, but I'm done with preorders at Best Buy.

You say they owe you points for $64. 1) tax doesn't get points. 2) how did you pay? Gift card, pitch-in card, reward cert, BB prepaid visa all don't give points. 3) if you used cash or credit card, did you try adding it via the report missing points option? You'd need the amount and customer service pin from the receipt.

I went to the store at about 8:30pm Monday night and did it in person. I was surprised it worked as was the sales agent, thus my concern over it actually not showing up as a pre-sell. I've got the receipts so if something comes up I do have proof.
 
i preordered anthology still haven't received the $20 bonus (not pending on my account)

I received the bonus for fifa and borderlands just fine

Wow, maybe I should PM them again, Ive been waiting on a response to my fifa code for 2 weeks now. Thought it just took this long.
 
ended up getting an extra Dishonored DLC code on my dad's email for some reason. Called me and told me he got it and emailed me the code.

Up for grabs for anyone willing to trade/buy it. Otherwise it's hitting ebay since I already used my code in-game.
