Can I pre-order and purchase multiple copies of a
qualifying game and get multiple awards?

Spoiler

No. There is a limit of one (1) award per My Best Buy
member per game title.

What if I pre-ordered a qualifying game before I
saw this offer?

Spoiler

If you pre-ordered a qualifying game before seeing
this offer, you’ll still qualify for the offer as long as
your member ID is attached to the transaction.

When will I receive my $10 reward certificate?

Spoiler

For each qualified purchase, you will receive 500 My
Best Buy points (worth $10 in reward certificates)
credited to your account approximately 15–20 days
after street date or store pickup.

If I pre-order a game now using my GCU and the
game releases after my membership ends, will
I still get the 20% off discount?

Spoiler

- From BestBuy Support Forums (link):
For in-store pre-orders, I can definitively say that if
your GCU membership is expired when you
complete your pickup, you will not receive the 20%
discount. This is because in-store pre-orders are not
processed until the time of pickup, and we only
collect an up-front deposit.

Pre-orders made on BestBuy.com are not as cut and
dry as in-store, but it is possible to retain your GCU
discount on a title released after your membership
expires for these types of pre-orders. Reason being,
when you place your pre-order the GCU discount is
calculated up front, and we then pre-authorize the
discounted total with your bank. If all goes well, the
discount can be retained upon release, however,
there is no guarantee.

A sure way to lose the discount on BestBuy.com
pre-orders is if any modifications are made to the
order prior to release, but after your membership
has expired. These modifications could be updating
the billing address, changing the form of payment,
and others. This is because when a modification is
made it triggers another authorization on your form of
payment, which should recalculate the price if your
GCU membership is no longer active.

Nice. It makes the $200 GCU Destiny CE a bit more palatable.

[blackopslady]

BBY dropped the ball on missing out on Horizon and Zelda

[Saix_XIII]

BBY dropped the ball on missing out on Horizon and Zelda

Yeah cause BBY has control on giving the games the offers. Plus those are first party games from both Sony and Nintendo, they don't get $10.

[shortyman920]

This is on top of the 20% GCU discount correct? Seems like a really solid deal if so

[stryker]

This is on top of the 20% GCU discount correct? Seems like a really solid deal if so

Yes!

[kelo360]

This is on top of the 20% GCU discount correct? Seems like a really solid deal if so

Yes. The only reason I may not go digital on these titles. Expect $10 certs to be added for Madden and COD WWII as well.

[Jonkai]

Thank Goodness! The oddly spaced drought is over. I would have thought titles like Ghost Recon and Mass Effect would have had the Certificate. Thought they e're going to kill it off for a sec. I expect they'll add a bunch around E3.

[justinTlME]

Why can't I post this inline?

[Larry Davis]

Shadow of War too, I think.

[Nick51705]

https://giphy.com/gifs/oOTTyHRHj0HYY

Yes, we all know it's overpriced.

[zeldafanjtl]

I'm assuming you have to pay upfront?

[AFarewell2Arms]

I'm assuming you have to pay upfront?

You can just do $5 in store or the full amount online. They don't charge you til the game ships or is ready for pick up for doing it online, though.

[bobaroo2]

Well I will definitely get destiny then, will buy bf and take it back if the reviews are not great

[LonelyBacteria]

I'm assuming you have to pay upfront?

No.







Battlefront.

[RespectTheChemistry]

Aaaaw yeah, the $10 offers are coming in!

[Jodou]

Glad this applies to the Elite Trooper Edition. Already had a pre-order in so should be upgraded with this.

[kV Snake]

So, i pre order and then i get a 10 dollar cert? Or do i pre order, wait for it to ship in November and then i get it?

Because then wouldnt you be able to just pre order and then cancel?

[gogomo]

Yeah, the cert doesn't go on your account until up to 20 days after the purchase/release date.

[Jodou]

You can sometimes get the cert issued immediately on release day if you pre-order well in advance. Bit of a loophole in their two week hiatus is that it will use the pre-order date to issue the cert rather than the day it was released. Same applies to how points are issued.

[Kristaps Schwartzingis]

Looks like I'm going physical for these two this time around. 20% off + $10 cert = too good of a day one deal to pass up.

[litepink]

BBY dropped the ball on missing out on Horizon and Zelda

Yeah the attach rate for Zelda really took a hit with no $10 certificate.

[DietKFC]

When Hubert comes through

 

 

Pre-ordered both. 

[EveningNewbs]

Wait, didn't you guys hear? This deal was dead last year when they stopped adding new games to it. This thread must be a shared hallucination.

[gogomo]

When Hubert comes through

What happened to the guy that used to pose as Hubert in these forums?  Did he get banned or something?

[Danimal]

Really glad to see them bring the $10 preorder rewards back, even though I'm not interested in either of these games myself.  Hopefully many more will follow.  Maybe Red Dead 2 and Crackdown 3? 

[Directive]

Does anyone know if all the Deluxe bonuses are specific for MP?

Edit: I'm referring to Battlefront, thanks.

[JakeM17]

Sweet, haven't seen these $10 bonuses in a while.

[Sunrisecityrider]

What happened to the guy that used to pose as Hubert in these forums? Did he get banned or something?

He got a position with GameStop.

[Spurbs]

Does the $10 apply to digital purchase? I know the 20% does not
