Same for me. That said, I'm anticipating they'll just yank the benefits at some point before that.
I could see them pulling GCU from in January or February (new fiscal year) and mailing everyone a check for how long they had left.
If they did that, they wouldn't be mailing any checks. They would probably just dole out points to people. I've got a feeling though it is just easier to let people expire naturally and avoid any PR or other complications. At least for the two years after the date they cancelled it, that covers everyone that bought it without stacking years. I could see them cutting people off after that, because the number of people with more than one period is likely very low and can probably be handled on a case by case basis.
The only reason I said a check is they could have it as part of a letter that said something along the lines if you cash/deposit the check you can’t sue, join a class class action lawsuit, or create a class action lawsuit.
Same here and still no coupon. I may call them later in the week.
Well, you can sue but it technically wouldn't go anywhere due to the terms they laid out long ago. But it would cost money to defend it and cause some bad PR, so they will do what they can to avoid that. If they do end up drawing a line I think they would do it when the number of aggrieved parties is minimized. People that bought in right before they cancelled it would have the strongest case and be the most numerous as it was being actively sold. People that stacked up years and years would be much less. So in April 2020, everyone that bought in regularly will expire and that would be a much better time to cancel and cash out people with stacked years. Probably with points or maybe a gift card as compensation to ensure you spend that money at Best Buy. I'm sure someone will try to sue though.
Where GCU?
Im sure you can after it releases. AssOdyssey new release gets taken down to $38 after tax. So when red dead releases I’m sure the gcu and coupon will work.
The coupon specifically excludes RDR2. It's not just because it isn't out yet.
I had better luck than you. I placed my last order Saturday night (with GCU supposed to be valid “through” the next day). And despite the discount showing up in my cart that morning, it was gone when I went to check out. So I placed the order and then used their chat. The rep was able to confirm my GCU was still showing as active, despite the discount not working. Eventually he credits me back the difference for the missing 20% (+tax).
That’s basically what they told me after the fact - if I had gone ahead and placed an order at full price, they could’ve helped me. But since it was after my expiration date, it was too late. Funny that they never mentioned that as an option when I first contacted them when my GCU should’ve still been active.
Mine expires tomorrow. I placed an order without any issues today and GCU applied. Planning on just getting all of the items with the $10 rewards certificate.
Yeah, it says 11/4/2018 to 5/4/219 thats why I was thinking that even though it shoud be active today it might not yet be.
My email came on October 31st and my GCU expires on November 5th. Used it to preorder RE2 Deluxe Edition for $44.68
I used to do it a lot more and certainly could look at doing it again with some of the games that have come up on PS Plus, just to get some store credit... but haven't done it in a year or two.
Holy
, how? I forget the details, was there any heads up? I kinda remember they just pulled the plug one day, but it was so long ago and I probably blocked out the details to avoid unnecessary emotional trauma. Or did you just decide to buy like 10 years just cuz? I guess realistically with how cheap it was, that wouldn't have even been that much up front. Damn do I wish I hadn't been in my poor college phase at the time, was skating buy a year at a time.
Enjoy your last two years of freedom before you are dragged back into the pits with the rest of us. Meat is back on the menu boys!
