$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

bestbuy is taking over all my pre-orders!

[mgorsi]

ok so, every game I pre order and Purchase I will get a $20 gift card? For example i buy madden 13, and get a $20 card, then later, i buy AC III and get another $20?? or is it just for one title

[Timenice]

What's all the games included ? Ps3 is all I care about

[evophile]

wow... I Preordered AC3 way back when with the Steelbook. It should still work shouldn't it?

[dino88]

ok so, every game I pre order and Purchase I will get a $20 gift card? For example i buy madden 13, and get a $20 card, then later, i buy AC III and get another $20?? or is it just for one title

"Limit one award per member per title."

[TooPoor]

Damn it the ultimate loot check edition is sold out.

[kevgret]

BB... you complete me.

[iiiweaponiii]

nice find

[mgorsi]

"Limit one award per member per title."

damn it, I will still pre order 2 games.

[Dunder]

ok so, every game I pre order and Purchase I will get a $20 gift card? For example i buy madden 13, and get a $20 card, then later, i buy AC III and get another $20?? or is it just for one title

Fine print:
Eligible Gamers Club Unlocked members will receive 1,000 Reward Zone points (worth $20 reward certificate) per qualified purchase. Limit one award per member per title.

I interpret this as if you buy 1 copy of each qualifying game, you get 1000 reward zone points. IF that is the case, I will buy every one of these titles, keep the ones I want, sell the rest and do the follow-up price match when they inevitably drop in price.

[abhinav]

That's a damn fine deal on AC3 and Halo 4. Looks like I wonder if Best Buy will have a midnight opening for either of those games...

[Vap]

I need to find some GS to BB flips ASAP!

[iduncurr]

I hope it's 1 copy of each qualifying game.
Cause other wise why wouldn't they just put:
Limit one award per member.

[Vap]

That's a damn fine deal on AC3 and Halo 4. Looks like I wonder if Best Buy will have a midnight opening for either of those games...

I'm 100% positive Halo 4 will. Hard to say about AC3..

[dino88]

damn it, I will still pre order 2 games.

Why "damn it"? You'll get the $20 cert for both games. "per title"

[mgorsi]

My plan to get 3 games at $40 each on release day.

Picked up max payne 3, and got $20 GC, next pick up Madden 13 for $40, get another $20. Then pick up AC3 or Halo for $40. not bad I guess. Last year, we got $20 back for 5 titles ($100 for buying 5 games) this year we get $20 back on 3 titles, which is a let down.

[YBX87]

man the list is limited, i wish sleeping dog was on that list

[mgorsi]

Why "damn it"? You'll get the $20 cert for both games. "per title"

i wanted it like last year, get $20 back on every title I purchase. (remember get $100 for buying 5 titles.

[Pliskin]

This is the reason why I don't bother converting my credit to Amazon anymore. I love you BB. I'm in for AC3, Borderlands 2, RE6 and maybe MOH. With the added 60 day PM ability for silver members this is a no brainer for me.

[MrBeatdown]

Nice. I got in on the $20 gift card Max Payne deal hoping they'd do more of these. Although, I'm a little disappointed that they are going back to the RZ certificate crap instead of the gift cards. At least they can be chained. That's a hell of a lot better than the $100 deal last year.

Hopefully they add more games. AC3 and RE6 are the only games there that seem worth pre-ordering, but I'd rather take my chances and try to get AC3 for $20 a few months later. I'd like to see Hitman added. And GTAV if it ends up releasing this year.

[Bosamba]

what don't you understand? any of those games you preorder and purchase you get a $20 gift card. pre-order + purchase = giftcard you can do this with any of the games

I think he's saying he's upset that he can't purchase ANY titles he wants like last year, which according to my memory is incorrect as it was only for certain titles too.

This is a much better deal since you aren't forced into buying five to get the deal, good job Best Buy If enough people cancel their Amazon pre-orders, maybe it will force Amazon into being competitive again.

[dino88]

man the list is limited, i wish sleeping dog was on that list

Limited? They're offering a $20 bonus on a list of 11 games that will be released within 3 months of each other.

[@FIF]

Bear in mind the difference between 1000 RZ points and a Gift Card. RZ certs have to be used in full in a single transaction and expire 90 days after they're issued. And this is enough points that anyone whose not a Silver member will be auto-issed a certificate. Not a huge deal since these certs will be active during the holiday shopping season, but it's definitely less flexible than an open-ended Gift Card.

[ChaosLaw]

in for 4 of these. is the rz cert going to be instant so you can chain game to game?

[YBX87]

Limited? They're offering a $20 bonus on a list of 11 games that will be released within 3 months of each other.

well, none of those titles on the list interest me

[ShockandAww]

Nice will get at least Dishonored and AC3 and probably more. Hopefully Amazon stops sucking and brings back the $20 credits because I'd rather shop there but BB will do if not.

well, none of those titles on the list interest me

Are you sure you're a gamer?

No, 30 35 days after I think it is.

[htz]

With the added 60 day PM ability for silver members this is a no brainer for me.

You have to remember your dealing with 1,000 RZ points instead of a $20 gift card here. I think Best Buy has wised up to people doing PMs plus getting the $20 gift card. When you do a PM you essentially trigger a partial refund which deducts points from your RZ account.

Points will post to your Reward Zone account approximately 35 days from purchase date, delivery date or shipment date. Points are based on dollars spent on qualifying purchases. If an item is returned, Points will be deducted from your Reward Zone membership equal to the amount of Points earned for the applicable amount of that purchase.

[iduncurr]

I was just thinking about that.
That's kind of a bummer.

[mgorsi]

Nice will get at least Dishonored and AC3 and probably more. Hopefully Amazon stops sucking and brings back the $20 credits because I'd rather shop there but BB will do if not.


Are you sure you're a gamer?


No, 30 days after I think it is.
