Posted this in another thread, but they gave my Injustice to someone else...I got an email confirming pickup. How do I prove I didn't pick this up?

Your signature compared to whoever signed the receipt?

How did you pay? Don't they normally ask for the CC used to pay, assuming of course you used one?

Well you have to sign for a pick up don't you? Hence YOU never signed for it...

Also if I were you, I would change your password on two three things, the main bestbuy website, the mybestbuy website, and also your email address that is TIED to your mybestuy account.

Just noticed in the fine print it says something like "The three PS4 or Xbox One titles must be purchased on the same receipt." In reference to the $25 deal. Guess that's confirmation that this will apply to Xbox as well.

Yay for stacking the $10 preorder coupon with the $25 promo for even more certs.

From my experience running this thread and following these bi-weekly gamers club offers since January 2013. Best Buy has never changed the offers 1 week later, it is always every 2 weeks. But this might be the first...

Only 70%. No stacking. Down to $12. I know it was $8 before in that 2-day sale, but wondering if I should bite on this.

It's not great but I'm having a lot of fun with it the last two days. Hoping there's a little more than it's given so far though since it's a little shallow mechanically so far. I think $8-10 is the perfect price point for it personally.

I feel like I'm missing why the $25 off three promo is appealing.

I don't even know if I'll be picking up my Zelda 3DS XL, so I'm not sure I can even play it lol.

Plus additional $12 off each game for GCU which is basically equal to Targets B2G1. Also its next gen so if you are getting a new system it makes sense to grab a few games.

Wonder if the $25 promo will work with a mix of PS4 and XB1 titles.  Fine print suggests as much.  The offer's essentially useless now, since so many of the PS4 pre-orders are sold out online.  Which is weird.  Either they have a small allocation, PS4 is blowing XB1 out, or PS4 has a higher pre-order attach rate.

Still not used to that. So not quite as good as the B2G1 at Target if my math is correct and I'm not overlooking anything else. Plus Target has the flexibility of being able to return 1-2 games where BBY likes to package discounts.

I could of sworn in the details it specifically stated it has to be 3 games for the same next gen platform.

True about Targets prorated discounts. But otherwise they are the same. Only difference is stock at Target sucks. Also I have a buyer for Killzone Shadow Fall for $50 which makes the deal that much sweeter. I prefer using credit at BBY as well.

A combination of platforms will not apply for the offer.

 
Think I'll go with this deal instead of B2G1 from target. You save $36 up front instead of 60 but get 25 back. You get another 5 back from 2x purchase points for games. I'll use it all towards infamous SS for $48 later.

I did the math.

If you get the $10 per in points for preordering (if qualifying game), the 20% off, and this new 3 for $25 in points Bestbuy is about $30 cheaper than Target with red card. This is ignoring tax and assuming purchase was with gift card (so no points) and assuming all 3 games are bought in store at once. So either all Xbox One or PS4 games.

So $25 off PS4 titles? Working in conjunction with the 20% off that's a pretty good deal. and the deal in paper said buy 3, get $25 in MyBB points? So that's like crazy isn't it? That's like 40 for each title and $25 cert? or was there some fine print I missed?

I was just about to point out this as well because this offer has a lot of potential for PS4 titles if all those offers stack.

So if my math is right it would be $180 - $61 if you have GCU and use the bi-weekly offer. Then you get the $25 certificate for weekly ad offer and a possible $10 more in certificates if you get NBA 2k14 as 1 of the games.

The gamers club offer is the weekly ad offer.

No the gamers club offer is for $25 off the purchase. The weekly ad is for $25 in rewardzone certificates.

This how it should work. First off from the games listed in the weekly ad, AC4, BF4, NBA 2K, get you $10 in rewards certs just for pre ordering. (I just checked my bb site and they removed the advertisement for it, but if you had any of those already pre ordered you will get the $10 cert) If you buy a combination of those three, it would come out to $30 a game. $180-$36(20% off)=$144+tax You should get 3 $10 certs back plus the $25 cert for buying 3. So $144-$55=$89. You pay $144 plus tax upfront, but when its all said and done you paid $89+tax. Keep in mind I'm talking about if you were to buy 3 of the above games and already had them pre ordered.

edit- $10 certs are for GC members who pre ordered.
edit - nvm on this since BF4 and AC4 is already considered released.

and you would have had to preordered all 3 at the same time, or at least get all three on the same receipt.

It always takes mybestbuy a bit to update with the new offers. You can see them if you go to the featured offers on bestbuy .com.

this is going to cause confusion because the ad says nothing about having to be GCU, actually clearly states only needing a my best buy reward membership

you do not need to be GCU, only mybestbuy since it is for the free gamers club which everyone who has a mybestbuy membership is part of.

my mistake then, i guess i was thinking the gamers club offers were only for the unlocked memberships.

 
They didn't remove the info about the $10 certs for preordering - click on the "Even getting the game is a game.  Be first."  link on the main page when you first log in.

My problem is, they STILL haven't extended my GCU (mine expired in Sept., so supposedly I qualify) or sent me the stupid coupon they should have sent.  So I can't take advantage of this deal even tho according to them I *should* be able to.   :roll:

 
Is it even too late for people to pre order and get the $10 certs? It shouldn't be, but its not under the GC offers on mybestbuy.com any more.

Edit-^thanks.......its still active....nice!

BF4, AC4, and NBA 2K14 are the only titles left that qualified for the $10 pre-order RZ Cert. BF4 and AC4 for PS4 are considered as released as of last Friday.
