[quote name='lordopus99']$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[/QUOTE]
^Thanks lordopus99!

[quote name='wingzero16']they need to up resident evil 6 to the collection or anthology versions.[/QUOTE]

All versions count. I'm in for one of these...
 
So if I read the OP correctly you can only get 1 $20 reward certificate per title per system. I wondered if I had 3 copies of Madden:ps3: preordered if I'd get $20 per transaction. Anyone have any knowlegde of this this?
 
[quote name='wingzero16']well if all versions count i'm get PS3 collection. hope your right 0.o[/QUOTE]

Yeh PS3 4 me too and yes, it was verified by enuf and htz. Wish I was one of the lucky biatches that preordered Borderlands Ultimate Loot edition before it sold out-that gets a 1000 reward points too. I just did the standard version and hopin that someone at my BB cancels their Loot preorder or just flat out can't pony up all the dough for it, so I can swoop in. I already asked and they said they will only hold these orders for a week and then they're fair game.
 
Getting Unlocked tomorrow & I plan on pre-ordering Madden (online so I get the $10 savings on top of the $20), Fifa, Black Ops 2, NBA 2k.. Warfighter & Assassins' Creed I'll consider later, I'm still on the fence w/ those ones.

Spending $150 for $240 isn't that bad especially after the GS to BB flip. No money out of my pocket being spent for the games.:D

[quote name='209chromatic']I highly doubt blops 2 or halo 4 will drop within 60 days.[/QUOTE]

Modern Warfare 3 went on sale end of Dec in 2011 for $40 at BBY. You will have until as late as Jan 9th for Halo 4 and Han 16th for BLOPS II it to have a sale with the 60 PM. BLOPS II is getting a sale for certain someplace. In fact, I would be willing to bet every game on the list sees some type of sale within the 60 day window.

Was looking at last years pre order 5 games and get $100 thread and most if not all games dropped, including skyrim. Too bad price matching won't work on BF , I remember Walmart had several titles for $28.

The 5/100 deal was so weird last year. I ended up not doing it because they put a bunch of titles on sale for $29.99 on BF and I had my welcome packet B2G1 coupon so I ended up with AC:Rev, Batman: AC and Uncharted 3 for $63. Then for some weird reason BBY gave me the $100 cert anyway even though I returned those 3 games. I wonder if the B2G1 game coupons from GCU have any new restrictions on them to prevent a Black Friday double dip?
 
[quote name='k1ngster']I would love to have the 60day pm window... How are most of you all silver member? I thought this was cheap ass gamer ;)[/QUOTE]

Haha I wonder this too, I feel so left out.
 
[quote name='k1ngster']I would love to have the 60day pm window... How are most of you all silver member? I thought this was cheap ass gamer ;)[/QUOTE]

Many of us got a random invite to it. I got it 2 years ago and for some reason they kept it going for another year. It runs out in Feb so I am hoping I get it again but I am going to be at like $1200 in trade/purchases so I doubt it. Others use a BBY credit card to earn points which is the smart way to go if you pay it off every month.
 
[quote name='simdog']So, can i jsut preorder 4 games for $20 and get $80 in certificates then just never go pick up the games?[/QUOTE]

yes. you've figured it out.
 
[quote name='k1ngster']I would love to have the 60day pm window... How are most of you all silver member? I thought this was cheap ass gamer ;)[/QUOTE]

i pay for everything with my BB cc. bills, gas, groceries, taco bell, etc. It's not hard to hit the mark if you do that.

on a side note, I'm finally gonna get GC unlocked today before I trade in NCAA 13 and preorder Madden tonight.
 
[quote name='typesdragon']Does anyone know if I preorder RE6 for instore pickup will I also get the $10 bonus? The fine print saids that the promo is over on 9/30/12[/QUOTE]

I am not sure about the pre-order thing but the promo actually ends on 8/31. The cert is good till 9/30. I would say no since you won't be picking up until after 8/31 or 9/30 but you might want to check the other thread. Someone might know better over there.
 
[quote name='typesdragon']Does anyone know if I preorder RE6 for instore pickup will I also get the $10 bonus? The fine print saids that the promo is over on 9/30/12[/QUOTE]

no, the game must be picked up before 8/31 to get the cert. doesn't matter when you preorder it, it's when you pick it up.

the promo ends 8/31, the $10 coupons expire on 9/30
 
[quote name='209chromatic']What if you pre order a game that releases after 9/30 and use the $10 promo code. Would it still work?[/QUOTE]

They don't send you the promo code till you pick it up... so.... no.
 
[quote name='209chromatic']What if you pre order a game that releases after 9/30 and use the $10 promo code. Would it still work?[/QUOTE]

Yes, as long as you use the code before that. Obviously if you wait to use the code when the game releases you're SOL.
 
[quote name='typesdragon']Does anyone know if I preorder RE6 for instore pickup will I also get the $10 bonus? The fine print saids that the promo is over on 9/30/12[/QUOTE]

  • Eligible pre-orders must be placed and fulfilled during promotion.
^It must meet that requirement in the fine print. The promotion ends on 8/31 not 9/30. 9/30 is just the expiration date for the $10 promo codes on in-store pickup orders fulfilled in the month of August. You can't fulfill a pre-order like RE6 during the promotion since the promotion expires before the game even comes out.
 
Anyone remember what day prior to NCAA coming out that the $20 offer disappeared online? I really want to try to make it out to BB to trade in some games to put towards Madden but I know it's getting close. I tried searching but that was turning into a pain in the ass and I was hoping someone might just remember.
 
[quote name='JahMakinHerbz']Wait are you being sarcastic or is he actually right?[/QUOTE]

He is right. You should totally try it.
 
[quote name='simdog']So, can i jsut preorder 4 games for $20 and get $80 in certificates then just never go pick up the games?[/QUOTE]

Might want to read the original post. Requires preorder AND purchase of the titles within a select window of launch for each title.

I'd say get it done by Friday/Saturday.
 
[quote name='JahMakinHerbz']Alright bitch[/QUOTE]

Ask a really stupid question, you deserve a really sarcastic response. I know you're new here but did you honestly think that would work? and now you're just being straight up offensive which makes you look even worse.

I hope you do end up trying it though, because OBVIOUSLY it's going to work ;)
 
To those who pre-ordered Madden and if the TRU price of $45 holds Tuesday, would it be wiser to try and pick up and PM the game at the midnight launch or do it when they open in the morning? I haven't been to a BB midnight launch but I'd guess that there wouldn't even be someone at the CS desk, just people ringing up the game.

Well in his defense someone else asked the question but yeah the response want necessary and logically thinking, why would that give you $80 for only paying $20 which you could cancel which would be giving you it all for free
 
^It's not only about asking question, it's also about even having the thought of doing something like this. BBY has been nothing but awesome to cheap gamers, but still some just want to get something for nothing from them.
 
[quote name='Sway']I haven't been to a BB midnight launch but I'd guess that there wouldn't even be someone at the CS desk, just people ringing up the game.[/QUOTE]

Wait a minute...which stores are doing the midnight launch of Madden? Any link available? Thanks.
 
[quote name='jza1218']Is there a way to check and make sure your reward zone account was linked to an order?[/QUOTE]

Even if it wasn't you can always add it yourself (if you have the receipt) on the reward zone website.
 
[quote name='dan77733']Nice. My store is actually participating. Thanks a lot for the link. Appreciate it.

Has anyone gone to a midnight release before and if so, is it just for people who pre-ordered the game or it doesnt matter? Thanks.[/QUOTE]

i'm not sure if it varies by store, but the ones in Madison, WI I went to for Madden or Call of Duty always had tons of extra copies for people that didn't preorder. but i would say most people that are going at midnight to get a game probably preordered it anyways

Thats true. I just wanted to know and yeah, I did pre-order it since its part of this promo. Shame I didnt pay attention to this promo prior to NCAA being released. Oh well.

And can anything else be purchased at the midnight launch? Or is it just for Madden?

I successfuly preordered Monday morning before work (7:00am central). Later that day people were posting they could no longer preorder online. So if that holds early Monday morning is the cutoff.
 
When at the payment section for a pre-order online, it tells me in the reward zone section that my current status is "core". That just reflects that I'm not silver but am still a Gamer Club Unlocked member though... right?

Yeah, it will say core if you are not silver and in GCU. Mines still says core. The only place it shows the unlocked is in your actual reward zone account.
