Does it count on all editions of the game?

Yes. A pre-order and/or purchase with a Best Buy gift card or Reward Zone certificates will count as an eligible purchase toward the $20 bonus certificate offer. The Reward Zone program rules regarding earning points when a gift card or certificate is used still apply.

If I find a lower price on the game will Best Buy price match?
Yes! Best Buy has a price match guarantee which can be found here.

If I receive a price match from an in-store or BestBuy.com purchased game, will I still qualify for the $20 bonus certificate?

[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]

I have 2 Blops hardened editions preordered. One for me and one for my cousin. After we buy the games, will I get $40 in certificates or is the $20 promotion just for 1 copy of the game per rewardzone account?
 
I was informed last night by the manager at my nearest store that I could not Price Match Assassin's Creed 3, with Amazon's price, because I had used Reward Zone Certificates on it...Are these guys lying because they don't want to try to figure it out, or did I screw myself by thinking that Best Buy is legitimate in their Price Matching?

You might have better luck calling cs, that's how I got ac 3 price matched.
 
[quote name='dEvAnGeL']shit, my halo 4 purchase appears that only earned 11 points! WTF?[/QUOTE]

Did you use any gift cards or rz certs to pay? If so maybe that's why it only shows 11 points.

RZ certs don't matter. So they were wrong
 
[quote name='Jimmienoman']RZ certs don't matter. So they were wrong[/QUOTE]

The RZ denial is bs, but he still might not get the price match. Game software is not on the list of what they'll pm online prices for. The policy also states its an at time of purchase pm, not during the return period. So its a YMMV situation.

Is Best Buy currently running any tests or promotions under the Price Match Guarantee?
Yes. Best Buy will match the new, identical, immediately available current pre-tax appliance and electronics hardware products price for these designated major retailers: Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Buy.com, Circuitcity.com, CompUSA.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, hhgregg.com, hp.com, homedepot.com, lowes.com, newegg.com, officedepot.com, officemax.com, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, Tigerdirect.com, and walmart.com. Appliance and electronics hardware products include audio hardware, video hardware, cameras, camcorders, desktop computers, notebook computers, e-Readers, tablets, TVs, MP3 players, small appliances, major appliances, gaming handheld devices and consoles. Best Buy will not price match accessories, during the return and exchange period or the online prices of third party vendors (Marketplace Vendors) on major retailer websites. Valid for purchases made between October 7, 2012 - November 17, 2012 and November 27, 2012 - December 24, 2012. Best Buy may amend these terms at any time. All other terms and conditions of the Best Buy Price Match Guarantee apply. See Store for details.

Thank you all for the response. The cashier did say he was a fucking idiot, so I guess I've to take your, and her word. I'll be a little more hard on them next time.
 
I saw that my Halo purchase has the normal amount of points currently Pending, but the second purchase that shows up next to Halo, which I assume should be the bonus points, is listed as Pending as well but shows 0 points. Is this normal? I know they said it'd take a little while, but it's the 0 that's weirding me out.
 
I got my points for ac3 today! Should get my points for halo in 5 days and hoping to get my bo2 points before black friday!
 
Question (for those who pre-ordered online and picked up in-store):

How long does it take for the purchase to show (pending) on your Reward Zone account. I picked up my Halo 4 order on 11/7 and it does not show my points for the purchase price or the $20 reward certificate as pending(or at all). I used a RZ ($5) cert on the order and have my reward zone number attached to my online account (auto-filled in) so I know it was on the order. Thanks.

I preordered Assassin's Creed III several days before it was released and picked it up in store the same day as release. I got the points pending in several days.

trade it in, keep the rz points
 
Pre ordered both AC3 and Halo 4 and picked both up on their release day's. Neither the purchase points nor the bonus 1000 have posted for either of them. Am I screwed?

Still going to call in today and see what's going on, but has anyone else came across this?

This has been mentioned 1000 times, its still part of the deal. Check the OP.

Yes. The bonus, doesn't show up until a few days after your purchase has posted. Even if you did call, they'd just tell you to wait 30 days as they can't do anything about it.

Have you looked at the details to the purchases that are listed as 0 points? Those are probably the preorder bonuses. They are for me. The 1,000 points will be added to the points with your game purchase. It may take a few more days for them to appear.

My AC3 points are listed and pending. My Halo 4 points are not. Strangely, myrewardzone.bestbuy.com shows Halo 4 as being $11.99, so I'm being shortchanged both bonus points and purchase points. Sadly, my pitch in card was deducted $60+. If I was actually only charged $11.99, I'd be okay with that.

Edit: of course, as soon as I post this, Best Buy changes. Halo 4 is still listed as $11-->11points, but the 1000 bonus points are there, which is the important part.

You don't earn full points when using pitch-in or gift cards.

I don't think you're supposed to earn any for using GC/PiC

BBYs system just likes to spit out random points when using GCs
 
Kept going back n forth between regular blops 2 and hardened, now hardened OOS. Will it be available on launch day like Halo 4 Limited? Anybody remember if blops 1 hardened was available on launch day?

I am in the same boat, my AC3 points posted and is pending, my Halo 4 is showing as 11.99, my pitch in was charged 49$ since I did a price match to Frys. Weird thing is I did a trade in right before this purchase and it is not showing, I am thinking the guy did not scan my rewards card because I only got 40$ on my gift card, no 10% bonus. I think he did not scan my reward card when I did the purchase either.

Don't remember but the MW3 one was definitely harder to find at launch than Halo 4 has been.

It has to do with the exchange. I exchanged Forza for Need for Speed and got 60 points or something. Both of my Halo 4 pre-orders earned points.
 
Heads-up to Premier Silver members who preordered Borderlands 2: Amazon currently has both versions at slightly reduced prices, though the Amazon listings themselves are hidden in the Marketplace.

:ps3: $51.52
:360: $52.54

I recommend taking a screencap or printout of the price just to be safe. :)

Good deal if you couldn't get in on the Fry's PM for $49.99.
 
Did anyone have any luck getting the Halo 4/12+1 xbox live card/800 point deal AND the $20 cert for preordering?

I figured no, but I've been tempted to cancel my blops 2 preorder and try it.

Well I got the deal ($20 off the Live Card) but they did not add the 800 points to the receipt so that is my first issue. The transaction is there now but no bonus yet but I do not think it will be a problem. It should post in a few days. I am doing the same thing for BLOPS2 because I am giving my nephews the Gold cards for Xmas. Now to figure out how to get $10 for the missing 800 points.

Edit: I also noticed my GTA V pre-order is listed as a pre-order now on the My Rewardzone website. I hope that means there will less issues with codes and stuff in the future.
 
Is anyone else still waiting to get the $20 for Resident Evil 6? The OP says to give it up to 35 days but it's been a bit beyond that.

Great, thanks for letting me know.

No. This is the same process that happens if you ever misplace your preorder receipt and you go to pick up the game. They print out a dupe receipt and then fill the preorder. You're good.
