[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...

^ 10,000 ea catalogue football points I think. I can't remember the description off the top of my head.

I also got the price match on gift card, just brought the TRU ad & my friends at BB did it for me.


edit: Has anyone received their preorder code yet btw?
 
did you pre-order online? or in-store?

I had pre-order online and am thinking it won't work for online orders.

[quote name='joogle']So are they giving a free t-shirt with fifa pre-order like that guy posted? Or was that a instore purchase?[/QUOTE]

May be YMMV. Called my store that did a midnight launch and they said they had none.

Yes. It printed on my receipt & I received an email w/ the same code.
 
was this a pre-order you did online that you got them to match?

or were you just buying in-store.

i have a pre-order, but i don't think they can do anything at pick up, it would have to be through BB online CS i think

I didn't get the pre-order promo for FIFA and now i'm wondering if the girl at CS ran it up wrong. My receipt looks like it is for an exchange. She deducted my $5 pre order off the final value of the item, but no printed code on the receipt. Do I need to call to sort this out?
 
Well I just crossed 5,000 RZ points so I think I am going to put $20 each towards my final 5 games (maybe $30 if the points from the RZ bonuses clear at the right times) since the consensus seems to be that RZ certs should not interfere with PM the games. Part of me just wants to be safe and get $100 in Amazon Kindle cards but I have not really been shopping there much.
 
Shot down with TRU PM :(
I was being as polite as possible, you guys have some slick persuasive skills...
And I left work early for this :(

Do you get pre-order bonus in email at bb? This is my first time pre-ordering here so I don't really know :booty:
 
This is a silly question that I am too lazy to look up. Is it possible to price match a price match?

I price matched Madden 13 when it was $50 at Target. Now I would like to price match the $40 Amazon price.

Turtles all the way down. (At least until you reach $0 or run out of days)
 
Did anyone get a Bestbuy.com price adjustment to Amazon's madden 13 $40 Gold Box deal? I called twice today but was unsuccessful. The csr claimed it had to be for local retailers only.:cry:

The same thing happened to me with borderlands 2. I called cs and they are looking into it. They said call back in a couple of days see if it's been resolved. I'm more concerned about the $20 gift cert.
 
For anyone who still hasn't gotten the 1,000 RZ points added to pending for preordering Borderlands, there might be hope it still shows up. Mine just showed up this morning. The transaction for the game had been in pending since last week when I picked it up (for only 4 points though, no idea about that...)

However, just this morning the 1,000 preorder bonus points showed up. I did not contact CS about this issue yet so it appears it showed up on its own. Never had one update this late, especially after the main transaction had already been on there for a week.
 
Mine is pending too, but not available till after RE6 release shit. Not really excited for game anyway as I just wanted Anthology edition for 1-5. Might just wait for Black Friday.
 
[quote name='slowdive21']mine still aren't even showing the the transaction yet.[/QUOTE]

Did you try reporting the missing points?
 
Well it looks like the 10$ in store pickup bonus will not be rewarded... So I will simply not perform the instore purchase period !!

Looks like GS get my WOW purchases

That deal ended in August.
 
[quote name='plastik3000']My bonus points from Madden went from pending to cleared today and got issued my $20 certificate.[/QUOTE]

Yeah me too. Nba 2k13 and re6 next up for me.
 
Points for Borderlands haven't been moved to pending and my pre-order of FIFA hasn't even shown up yet. This company really dislikes getting my money.

Lol it's been 24hrs since you picked up FIFA? Chill out.
 
[quote name='mgford11']Lol it's been 24hrs since you picked up FIFA? Chill out.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. Archives on 360 or Anthology on PS3 (I think). IMO, not worth it if your a big RE fan and already own all of the games.
 
I was under the impression BB RZ purchases took up to 5 days to show up in your account, and then took another 30 days on top of that to actually "post" in order for you to use them. Thats the way I've always noticed it working unless something has changed?
 
if i order online and standard ship to home.. how long does it take often the guy at best buy says it should get their the day its released.. is that true?

The free shipping? I think a few days after.

Nope, not with the free standard shipping. They use UPS Mail Innovations. Fifa got to me today, and Borderlands got to me on a Wednesday, too. I'm in KY and it looks like both orders originated in TN. I used expedited shipping for NBA, so I'll see if that makes it on release day.

It's my Reward Zone points and I want it NOW![/QUOTE]

I hope someone calls that number and asks mr wentworth for their RZ points...and then complains about it on this thread that it didn't work.
 
[quote name='cdwjustin']if i order online and standard ship to home.. how long does it take often the guy at best buy says it should get their the day its released.. is that true?[/QUOTE]
I recently pre-ordered Borderlands 2 and I got it the day after the release. The worst part my brother got his copy the same day as me, even though he did expedited shipping.
 
Awesome, just got off the phone with CS and successfully matched Frys' $49.99 price on :ps3: Madden 13. Sounds like they include sales taxes too (was quoted $10.80) which will be credited to the credit card I used.

Worth the 10-15 minutes.
 
Doesn't it say that it takes up to 30 days to actually get the points credited to your account?

I better get into the pre-order bandwagon, I skipped Borderlands 2 because I forgot about the $20 promo but there's no way I can skip RE6 and AC3.
 
I was reading here that Best Buy does not price match internet retailers. Is that true? That would mean you can not price match the Amazon price for Madden 13.
