i have 3 but only redeemed 1. You'd have to assume that BB will even be around in 3-4 years and I'm not so sure of that. Not like you'd get a refund if they shut down. Even if they are around, this program may not exist in this capacity by then, so I think the safest bet would just be to renew once
Go back in time and sign up for the 15$ year plan.
The $30 ($15/year) isn't too bad. I don't believe I'm getting the $30 offer because I let my @GAMER expire like 2 years ago. However for $30 I'm sure I would get my money's worth. Especially if the 20% stacks even when the games are discounted, which I believe it does (so $20 game becomes $16 game). It wouldn't take much to get $30 worth of savings.
One cant share an extra coupon with a non-member?
I had to contact somebody about the coupon. My last magazine came in the mail this last October. According to the representative I hadn't purchased a GCU membership since before 2012... meaning I somehow have been receiving magazines and using the coupons for over a year? They suggested I had subscribed directly to the magazine somehow... but I'd have never done that because IIRC it was 19.99 for just the mag or 14.99 for the GCU program... and I know what I do and do not subscribe.
Who else votes for "XzMrHitDatHoezX" screen name of the year?
It only really adds up if you buy a lot of games. If you buy an average of 1-2 games every 2-3 months outside of Black Friday the points aren't worth it. Especially if you don't trade in games. I will admit this is a better deal than PUR (which took me 4 years to get enough points for a useless $5 coupon). Even with the discount and certs, it's usually still cheaper on eBay.
$48 is definitely not "expensive" in comparison with other types of entertainment and their value/cost ratio. I would much rather spend for a game than a movie i'll only get 2 hours out of and have to put up with annoyances out of my control in the crowd. Sporting events are the same. Most games give you 8-10 minimum unless you quit partially through, and if you do multiplayer the value skyrockets as you can easily get up to 100 hours in one game. Not to mention you can then recoup the value of the game, even sometimes for more than you originally spent when utilizing deals appropriately.
I heavily dislike spending more than $30 on any game unless it is Pokemon or Smash Bros. If ut means I have to wait a year or two for the price to go down, so be it. I don't play online much either, though a large part of that is because 80% of my games are single-player only.
lol BBuy is extending the $15 year GCU to existing members per targeted coupons either snail mail or email...
This.
Ignorance. Best Buy could have their worst two years of sales and still not go out of business. 5+ years from now, who knows...but their near future isn't in any sort of jeopardy. In fact, they're actually in an upswing right now.
