hmm saints row 2 for $51+ $10 gift card is tempting since i want a number of games but doesnt divide into 3's and i dont wanna hassle with that place holder strategy.

[quote name='danh920']this did not stack with the saints row 2 preorder w/gc[/quote]

try it tuesday when it actually comes out...ad says you get the gc when you buy it (didnt say anything about preordering from what i remember)

This sucks that this does not work with pre-orders I just ordered all the pre-xmas games I wanted(like5-6) last night with my CC credit card because they gave me a special 12 month interest free code, it would have been nice to stack this on top of that.

p.s.
I still might use this on Tuesday to pick up Saints Row since the games I pre-ordered all came with Gift Cards as bonuses($55.00 total).

thanks!!!!

Has anyone got this to work? Might be tempted to jump on this.

Only works on certain games online...the code will display next to eligible games...

Print It And Take It To The Store

dammit, i was just there today.

I noticed if you order Saints Row 2 on their website it automatically applies the $10 gift card to your order. However if you try typing in that coupon code for the additional 15% it doesn't work.

I wonder if you can order online on Tuesday for in-store pickup, get $10 off instantly via the gift card, then print out the 15% off coupon and get it applied at the store? Not sure if that'll work but it'll be very sweet if it does.

Circuit city usually doenst stack anything i have there 10% of gamer card and if a game comes with a gift card i dont get the 10%

Just 3 days? But i wana use it for LBP

Thanks OP. Got Army of Two for the same price Toys R US B2G1 offer, except I only had to buy 1 game.

Wonder if i can get fifa 09 on tuesday with this?

$45 for Saints Row 2? I'm in.

Very nice! Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up almost forgot about this coupon.

This might stack but YMMV...

Might pick up Socom with this. Thanks.

I'm having trouble using my eGiftCard from the Ninja Gaiden II deal. Where do you put in the 16 digit code? I can't get it to take anywhere.

[quote name='Hoffgod']$45 for Saints Row 2? I'm in.[/quote]

how do you figure this? I'm not mathematics professor, but if my TI-89 serves me correct 15% off of $60 is like $51

[quote name='opportunity777']I'm having trouble using my eGiftCard from the Ninja Gaiden II deal. Where do you put in the 16 digit code? I can't get it to take anywhere.[/quote]

it should be right below where you put in the code for 15%. check the box that says I have a gift card, then put in the code. That's at the checkout screen right above your credit card information.

Coupon code does not seem to work me does it only work on certain games? I tried on NBA 2K9

[quote name='kearns710']how do you figure this? I'm not mathematics professor, but if my TI-89 serves me correct 15% off of $60 is like $51[/QUOTE]It is. That's what I get for checking this forum at 2:30 in the morning.

How reliable is CC at sending this stuff ontime? I hate the stores they are awful. I don't trust that they will send out Pre-order in a timely manner. I think I will just try and go to TRU and get games there.

Tomorrow I'm going to CC with that coupon and walking out with a 50ish dollar game and a 10 dollar gift card!

WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?

I think this deal instore will be YMMV big time.. unless you get an employee that just doesn't care. Luckily mine has LOTS of those, but they usually require a manager override. Now, I will have to cross my fingers and hope the game I want will be there tomorrow after work, Dead Space ain't in until Wednesday in the Circuit City Ad. keeping fingers crossed.

I'm pretty sure that will not work plus I got an email from CC talking about the deals pushed the link 15% off 360/PS3 it took me to pages that had only about 20-30 games on it. I don't think you can apply it to every game.

Does CC normally get things in on time? I never shop there and I would be happy to use this coupon to get Socom.

[quote name='MrBeatdown']Might pick up Socom with this. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

Ditto for the $40 (sans headset) version; $34 is nothing to sneeze at for a brand new title (which despite the glitches plays pretty well in the beta).

Thank you for the coupon. Picked up NBA2k9 for $55 with tax.

I might use this for Dead Space tomorrow - it's so damned tempting, especially because I already have a $10 gift card to use.

Yeah, I'm in the exact same situation. I've had this gift card for so long and now that games are rolling out I need to just get rid of it. Too bad I get another GC which I will most likely have to turn around and use right away since CC is so far from me

I'm having trouble with the online free giftcard thing.

I pre-ordered five games. Four of them come with a $10 gift card. One of them came with a $15 gift card.

That adds up to a free gift card worth $55 right?

The order said that the giftcard would be applied immediately to my order and indeed the bill as seen online shows a pretax bill of 245.95.

Well I got billed for a $55 gift card.

I called Circuit City and was eventually escalated to a customer service manager that either cannot communicate basic ideas or cannot do math.

My question was: Why am I being billed for a free $55 gift card. The answer was that since all of the orders were preorders that have not shipped yet, the giftcard is the only transaction that shows up. This is apparently an inventory requirement. The system sees that I have a gift card, so naturally the system bills me for it.

Supposedly this all comes even when they take $55 off of my combined purchases.

Little Big Planet $59.99 - ($15) = 44.99
Gears of War 2 $59.99 - ($10) = 49.99
Dead Space $59.99 - ($10) = 49.99
Saints Row 2 $59.99 - ($10) = 49.99
Fallout 3 $59.99 - ($10) = 49.99

Total Full Price $299.95 - ($55)(giftcard total) = $244.95

BUT, they charged me $55 for a $55 giftcard and sent it to me by e-mail. So if I add that $55 back in the total is $299.95 again, which is full price. Yeah, I still have a gift card worth $55 at Circuit City to make up the difference, but I did not order that giftcard and should not have been charged for it.

I should have just been charged $244.95 and the giftcad should have remained "virtual", and preferably not appeared on the bill at all.

Instead I was charged $55 and will be charged $245.95 for the items when they ship. That means $299.95 total comes off of my credit card when all is said and done and the net position is that I am stuck with a $55 gift card that I never wanted, never ordered, and shouldn't have happened. Great.

This is stupid. Trying to explain this to the manager I was on the phone with proved challenging. She did not seem to understand that I had not ordered a $55 gift card which makes being sent one and charged for it stupid and extremely shitty. She did not listen to my arguments (which are that $299.9 - $55 + $55 = $299.95 bill and $55 giftcard)/ She suggested that I had somehow miscalculated but was unable and/or unwilling to show me where my miscalculation actually was. The manager seemed to think that she was extremely important and that no one anywhere would ever get in her face on my behalf so I guess I will have to find some other means of escalating this issue.

In short , Circuit City's free gift card deals do not work especially well with online preorders and no one at Circuit City cares at all about it.

OT, but what happened to the thread about the giftcard glitch? It's gone completely.

I am sure it is considered fraud or something and was taken down by MODs.

Well I ordered the almost the same thing as you did(replace Far Cry 2 for Saints Row 2) and they charge you for the Gift Card because they send that upfront right after you place your order. They do take the gift Card amounts off all the games if you look at you order status page. The reason they charge for the Gift card is that now you cant go back and cancell anything off the order and get that amount off the Gift Card for free. I dont think it is to hard to understand if you sit back and think about it for a minute or two.

So this coupon expires tomorrow (Tue) before Dead Space arrives (Wed)? Is there a possibility they could still honor the coupon on Wednesday? There's no expiration date on it, and maybe I could feign ignorance ("but I got it on my email today!"). I just don't get why Dead Space is out Wednesday and not Tuesday.

Yeah I realize that they deduct the gift card amounts from the price and I mentioned that, but NOW I'm stuck with a paid for $55 giftcard on top of the order price and my card gets (when all is said and done) charged the amount of the full price without any bargains! And I have a $55 giftcard that I didn't want which is only good for buying more games at Circuit City.

If they just applied each free giftcard to the purchase price AS EACH ITEM SHIPPED (like the site implies ) then there shouldn't be a problem at either end. Because order cancelation means the giftcard is canceled too (it is never sent). When you apply a giftcard to a preorder purchase when shopping online it makes more sense to run it as a discount or a money off deal doesn't it ?

Which you can take it off at checkout (Your are not suppose to). Look in the LBP preorder bonus thread. The whole point of the gift cards is to get you to come back and do business with them again.

You pay $10 for your $10 gift card, which you get instantly via email so you can't cancel it. When they charge you for the game, it's $10 less. The bargain remains a bargain only if you keep your preorder, and yes, plan to buy from them in the future.

I stopped by the GS I reserved it at today and told them I wanted to move my $5.00 onto Prince of Persia. The guy was the same one who waited on me when I pre-ordered LBP on Saturday and gave me the Kratos code card he had no problems moving the pre-order for me at all.

I printed the coupon by itself on page 1 though, so that expiration date isn't listed.

Will this coupon only work once per game, or can it work on a combined purchase?
