Just got done the BB to GS sheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QHes9WjTbQvu-uB5Bkp_cwrKtJtZiqANFr_RfwvzkYs/edit#gid=1330826904

Thanks! I'm about to scoop up a bunch of preowned mirrors edge catalyst and flip to BB. Getting closer to elite status for next year.

 

[asspickle]

Mirrors edged will go back up to full price tomorrow at gs right?

 

[reaperztoll]

dang no witches or empires close enough for me, I would have burned a bunch of my points on pre-owned coupons

Same here. Literally zero of both, I own a copy of each but I'm not willing to trade them right now even though I know I probably should.

 

[trip1eX]

Ebay cards still good in boondockville usa.  Manager said she hasn't heard anything about Ebay cards going the way of the dodo bird.

 

[whitereflection]

Im not in this thread that often and Im not going to check a few pages back but if it's already been talked about Im talking about it again lol

FYI the RETAILMENOT app has a 20% off any 2 or more used games at GS that expires 7/30

That reminds me - there was a free 20% off coupon for PUR members that was removed before the expiration date. I think it was the same date, 7/30. Has anyone tried to use it recently?

Yes, I had a printed coupon I tried to use last week on Tokyo Mirage. Doesn't work - scans as invalid code.

 

[whitereflection]

Really? I had a birthday coupon the month before but it didn't scan even after multiple attempts. The clerk typed it in manually and it worked instantly. Did you try that?

I wish I had seen these posts before I ran out the door. I just tried my 20% coupon also and it did not work. The clerk typed it in and then told me someone had used it already (not true). I guess the lesson is if the coupon is not in your PUR account, don't bother. My store does not use ipads to look up coupons.

 

[whitereflection]

Well, it expires on 7/31, so you still have time to try it. I'll also say that the previous free 20% coupons have been pulled before the expiration date multiple times now, and it's worked every time when I used the saved PDF. I'll post my experience on this one if I try it soon.

Wondering this as well, anyone know by any chance?

Bought an online GS giftcard in hopes to buy a few copies tomorrow to move to BB. Hope it won't be too late! D:

It was on sale in last week's ad. New ad starts tomorrow, so the price will probably go back up.

Yes the new weekly ad starts tomorrow, so unless MEC is on sale again, it will go back up in price.

Thanks Bobby!

And a reminder that if anyone does buy it, test it while you are in the return window. Wii U used games are notorious for not working if they are so much as looked at funny.

Can you expand on this? I'm thinking about picking up a Wii U and some used games.

 

[reaperztoll]

Wii U games are extremely easy to damage to the point of being completely ruined. Not sure if it is resurfacing or what does it but they are a crap shoot. I've had them fail from Best Buy, Amazon, and Gamestop. If you buy a used Wii U game test it out immediately, make sure it actual starts and play it for 20 minutes or so. The failure rate on used Wii U games has been as high as 75% for me.

You sure it's not just your system? Out of a couple dozen used Wii U games I've never had one fail on me

 

[reaperztoll]

100% sure. Never had a new game fail and I actually know several people who own a Wii U to try them on other systems. It's mainly GS used that I've had issues with.

I'm sorry but how would that bring you a profit? ME would've cost 33.59 with PUR, right? And trading in for 27.20 I believe with 50% bonus at BB. Just asking because I think maybe I'm missing something

They must've just dropped the base to $17?

 

[asspickle]

yea its part of a sale going on at best buy right now, its back up to full price at gs anyway so...

 

[RoxyWahine03]

[gameupboy84]

[Nick51705]

So star fox and Mario maker are on sale at BB for a really good price. Use my GCs and basically convert them to cash by trading back to GS or hold onto them and wait for another 50% promo?

By the time another good promo comes, I'm willing to bet most stores will have their POS registers updated to not allow any gift card transactions with trade credit. GS credit would then be rendered useless to me

Yeah the only enticing thing about GS credit for me is no tax so if I want a console or something it might be worthwhile.

Damn I checked and those are some great prices, will this sale be live for non-elite members tomorrow? Save some for us!

Oh and since you're elite you'd probably know the answer to this off topic question: Do purchases made with BB gift cards count towards the elite status total?

It should be live for non-Elite members tomorrow.

No, any purchases made with Best Buy GCs do not count towards the amount needed to reach Elite status.

They don't with the GS -> eBay -> BB cycle I've been having a hard time racking up purchases towards elite. Since there is that Visa promo, I'm thinking of using my BB credit card instead this time.

How much will they be tomorrow for non elite?

 

[Nick51705]

I think prices will be the same but you just have to wait until tomorrow.

 

[CookieMonster156]

How much will they be tomorrow for non elite?

$30 for Yoshi, star fox, xenoblade, mario maker. $24 with gcu

 

[bn222]

Anyone know if a b2g1 coupon can be used online?

 

[AndyD33]

Thanks. And If I knew how to do that spoiler thing I would add: for nothing.

Seriously though you're thing was pretty funny. I literally loled

 

[Hereck82]

Do any of you guys know if we're able to purchase gift cards with certificates that we get from the points?

 

[person123]

Do you know how it was labeled on the receipt? I was denied trade-in right now. No biggie but I figured that I would try

Blackbeard always like your work. I noticed a couple credit movers missing though. Nobunga's Ambition Sphere $23.84 PUR at GS to $30.4 GCU at BB and Tranformers Devastation & $15.74 PUR at GS to $22.4 at GCU BB.

 

[jedex]

I'm getting three of each for those prices.

Thanks, yes my BB to GS and GS to BB code is still a WIP. Transformers Devastation is on there but BB names it "Transformers 2015" and since I initial pull the name from the BB trade in page it doesn't pull results correctly when I query gs with "Transformers 2015" I will fix that today. Nobunaga's Ambition.... I don't know why the it isn't listed, I will add it to my to do list.

EDIT:
I don't think there's an actual Pre-Owned SKU for Nobunaga's Ambition on BB.com so I am guessing that is the reason my app doesn't pick it up at all.

 

[bigmanwes99]

Does it matter if the chat adapter is the official one or can it also be from Polk or turtle beach?
