[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]

im surprised how well made the coin is made. it's like a piece of lead. away it goes along with my uncharted 3 journal and wristcuff.

i'm still dying for a n7 patch though
 
[quote name='skycat561']mine dosnt show the "Gamer's club victory unlocked prom: 1000" yet , but I did get the DLC code. So should I just wait to see if the 1000 Promo shows up?[/QUOTE]

Takes a week to see 1000 points pending.
 
[quote name='Alkalinejoe']Yes, like I said, I preordered the day before it came out but it was still a preorder.[/QUOTE]

Sorry I was lazy.

They have a scan program that tries to detect errors in employees exchanging it wrong, but I wouldn't have counted on it.

The person I talked to most about the bby preorder gaming box is no longer a Mod, so I am unsure of their backlog. So I can't give you a estimate on that, but 2/3 games I preordered this year didn't have the pending points on my RZ account. Then at day 20 (I'm a silver member) poof they were there.

But I guess you have a right to be concerned about the points not being there before hand. But I wouldn't be overly concerned. The game that didn't have the points added automatically Mike or Kyle got straightened out for me in a couple days after 30 days.
 
[quote name='edson13']it takes 30-35 days[/QUOTE]

Oh ok. This is the first time I've do the $20 credit preorder from Best Buy. Was hoping to get and use it for Halo 4, but maybe Black Friday.
 
Alkaline joe, it turns out the cashier did change my order when I picked it up. I talked to CSR from Rewards zone and they have adjusted it. I wish I got my dlc but oh we'll. In any case I am unwrapping my game which I held off for two days, and begin playing it since I was planning on returning it if I didn't get the $20 gift cert. Good luck just be honest. You'll get to places.

[quote name='Alkalinejoe']I did the same thing and the transaction just posted to my account and there is not a $20 promo bonus like there was for RE6 so I am going to call them up and see what went wrong. I should still get it considering I did technically pre-order it (night before, but the offer was still listed on the item page and it did say "pre-order" not add to cart) but hopefully I get a knowledgeable rep.[/QUOTE]
 
[quote name='FlyingMonkey9']Has ANYONE in the NYC-area received AC3 in the mail yet? Ordered with 2 day shipping, and tracking says it was leaving Ohio on 10/29[/QUOTE]

I just received my Assassin's Creed III in the mail today. Mine was stuck in transit for a while until the 29th. I'm sure it will be reaching you soon.
 
[quote name='Lightning War']They're doing this again next year. The games I remember are Dead Space 3, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Gears of War Judgement but there are a bunch more.[/QUOTE]

Interesting. Hope they'll add more like DmC, Bioshock Infinite, MGR, and God of War Ascension.

Ah, sucks to hear that :(. Did they give you the certificate but not the DLC? I tried calling them up but they said they would "put me on hold" but they hung up on me. I'm going to call again tomorrow since I have other things to do today I'm just hoping for the best at this point. Worst case scenario it's on sale on BF for $30-$40 and I buy it at that price and return it using the original transaction.
 
They gave me a cert no problem. I had it with requesting for that dlc, I went through the process of pm BBY Moderator and put up two discussion boards on the forums. I am open my game and just play. That cashier the rung me up was a complete idiot. good luck, just be persistent.

My AC3 points are pending but no sign of the 1000 yet, but they should come soon. also did anyone preorder gta5 yet and get the poster?
 
[quote name='Truekonkern15']You guys sure COD:BLOPS 2 gets the $20 cert? I see it for Halo 4 but i don't see it for Black ops 2.[/QUOTE]

I cannot believe this still gets asked. :roll:
 
[quote name='JohnWayne']If I'm price matching in-store, will I need my original receipt or can they just print out a duplicate or just look it up?[/QUOTE]U can get a duplicate receipt from the RZ site print it out in-store
 
[quote name='Enuf']U can get a duplicate receipt from the RZ site print it out in-store[/QUOTE]

Sweet, thanks for this. I just figured out how to print it out
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']How do you guys PM, do you wait after you receive your $20 bonus, or can you do it beforehand?[/QUOTE]

You can do it before, it won't affect your RZ cert. whatsoever
 
[quote name='BrokeAssFool']I only have ten points pending rather than a 1000 for AC3, looks like another typical BB screw up.[/QUOTE]

It's been 4 days. What it really Looks like is another impatient whiny kid.
 
[quote name='Geco17']My AC3 points show as posted, along with the 1000 points.[/QUOTE]

Mines too.....can't wait for my rewards certificate
 
[quote name='tykoe corp']Can the $20 bonus be used on anything in the store, or does it have to be used to purchase a video game?[/QUOTE]

Anything in store, online as well. The total has to be more than the certificate though, and does not include taxes.

Thanks for the info!
 
Possibly a dumb question, I read the OP and didnt see it answered. If I preorder online for In-Store pickup, am I charged once the game releases or when I go and actually physically pick it up at the location? I know obviously for ship to home your charged once it ships, but never did an in store pick up before. Thanks in advance.
 
[quote name='Jimmienoman']It's been 4 days. What it really Looks like is another impatient whiny kid.[/QUOTE]


Considering the posts below of the points posting and others of 1000 points pending rather than 10 pending, I hardly consider it whining. And I'm certainly no kid, jackass.
 
[quote name='kellte2']My AC3 1,000 points just posted. Just FYI for those out there still waiting.[/QUOTE]

It's odd, mine say they are posted, but the 1000 isn't there. It then went to pending, and now it's gone again. Although it does show as posted.

Mine shows the same and I got a random $5 holiday rz.:applause:
 
Just a reminder for people who picked up Assassin's Creed 3... The price is LIVE for $47.99 at Toys R Us website, it's only good for today and tomorrow! So get your Price Adjustments :)

Just got off the phone with Best Buy and mine went through flawlessly, she had to call to verify stock (thought that only appkleid pre-purchase, not post-purchase -- but whatever!), got $12 + tax re-credited!
 
Got my AC3 pre-order code in the email today, so seems like they are taking care of that.
Nothing in RZ account about buying AC3 at all yet, but i did get a $5 holiday cert so that's nice.
 
Posted (not pending) though the certs aren't there (which I wasn't expecting anyway) Also earlier in the week I got the best BBrep ever over the phone who pricematched Kmart's deal, except he gave me the 10.00 gaming coupon in the form of ten dollars off. So I'm currently at 39.99 plus 20 dollar reward cert soon. Awesome :D
 
[quote name='godsmack13']Is $2 really worth your time and fuel?[/QUOTE]

Especially when we inevitably have another, lower sale on this title w/in the next 30/60 days (silver). No way is $2 worth the trip now.
 
[quote name='godsmack13']Is $2 really worth your time and fuel?[/QUOTE]

You can PM over the phone if you paid with a card. Quick and easy
 
[quote name='godsmack13']Is $2 really worth your time and fuel?[/QUOTE]

Sometimes I feel people are in a competition with each other on this site. Almost obsessive to get the lowest price possible no matter what. They see someone save a dollar less and can't be satisfied even through they were happy with the 10 off yesterday. This mentality is going to put bestbuy out of business and lose us any deals. Honestly the 20 cert should be enough.
 
[quote name='atc250es']Already pm kmart for 49.99, should I go back for $2 more? I probably will since im going to get a new headset this weekend.[/QUOTE]

I guess if you have the time sure. But I think it's going to drop to $40 anyways so you'll have a chance to PM it down to that newer price at some point.
