Also, no guarantee BB ships items from the same order together.

I know this sounds shitty, but can I preorder dead island 2 and just send the game back and keep the steelbook?

I’m like 90% sure they’d charge you $9.99 for the steelbook if you do that

This is accurate.

Thanks for the responses. I have a series s, so the physical copy doesn't do much for me. Plus, I feel like this will drop in price fairly quick. The reviews do make it look like a pretty good time though. Either way, I think it's worth 10 bucks, so I'll just do that.

Anyone else get a $5 cert email? Because I sure as hell haven't been buying anything from best buy lately.

Yeah I got one too. The last time I shopped at Best Buy was when those two amiibos were five bucks each. Maybe because we rarely shop there they are trying to get our business? Regardless, I'll take it. Most likely using it on a PSN card.

Can we actually use these on digital credit? I assumed not.

I got one also.  I have bought a few things from them in the last few months, but it was definitely a surprise.

I got a $10 one.

Maybe it's a consolation prize for the $800 repair for damage their washer installation people caused that still hasn't been reimbursed.

I didn't get the email (and don't usually get any non order related emails from BBY) but I did have a $5 reward certificate sitting in my account that expires 6/24 which I know I didn't earn from spending.

Looks like they called everyone out and topped up to next 5. I had points for 10 and got 15.

I haven't gotten the email yet, but I don't have the BB CC so they are supposed to cash everyone out and issue certs.  Hopefully that is whats happening.  I'm still sitting at 146 points so either I'll get a $5 cert eventually or they'll give me the middle finger.  If I get the cert, I'll use that towards one of the few games I planned to preorder or I'll preorder something far out so I can later cancel it and they'll reissue the cert with a new expiration date (which I've done before to churn and combine certs).

coupons and gift certs do not apply to digital credit annoyingly.

I have a question for everyone, well anyone who has a definitive concrete answer. I've asked this question to three separate care reps by phone and two separate store managers. Every single person gives me a different answer.

 

All of us know by now that best buy got rid of their my best buy program, so all points earned are from the best buy credit card itself. So here's the inquiry.

 

Person A has a best buy account and totaltech.

Person B has a best buy account and best buy credit card.

 

Person B uses the phone number and/or account of Person A to make a purchase using Person B's best buy credit card, who gets the my best buy points? After asking at least 5 different best buy employees, everyone is split. The two logics of this conundrum are:

 

Person A's info/account was used so their my best buy account gets the points.

Person B's credit card was used and points are now tied to the card, not the account.

I did not get the certificate the other day, but I got the email today and it’s in my account now.

You can’t use it on digital credit, but you can use it on a digital game.  So you can get a game like Subaracity which is $5 for free.  It won’t apply on anything below $5 though.

I got my $5 email cert last night. The odd thing is, it expires on 6/24, which is a long ways out compared to other certs in the past. I only have 25 points on my Rewards account.

I got the $5 email today. It didn't show in my account when I signed in, but when I purchased something, it was there under payment options.

I got the $5 cert email yesterday and as someone stated it expires on 6/24. I had 7 rewards points left before getting the cert and now I have zero, lol.
