[quote name='donut']lmao damn lazy ... read the first post ....

redundant lazy, posts all so early ... not too bright in making sure this pans out ...[/QUOTE]

So my coupon for $10 off Madden 07 on the PS2 that expired in December of 2006 and is only good at Toys R Us, can I use it on Saints Row 2 for 360 combined with this new coupon at Best Buy? ;)
 
[quote name='kodave']The coupons all have this general disclaimer:



[/SIZE][/FONT]Does this mean they won't mark down Guitar Hero Smash Hits from $19.99 to $9.99 because its on sale this week?

It also says its not valid with any other promotion - so they might not take the manufacturer's $5 coupon for Guitar Hero.

Has anyone had any problems getting a coupon to work with a sale price? Has anyone ever stacked a RZ coupon with a non-Best Buy coupon?[/QUOTE]

It should work. It won't work on PM's for sure. We'll find out tomorrow.
 
[quote name='polishpride212']I just went to BBY and Saints Row 2 and Let's Tap were both marked at $29.99. I don't know if this was the price they scan for, but that is the price they were marked at.[/QUOTE]

Read the OP on the first page.
 
[quote name='polishpride212']I don't see what you are trying to point out.[/QUOTE]

and it just keeps a comin...:wall::wall::wall::wall:
 
[quote name='donut']and it just keeps a comin...:wall::wall::wall::wall:[/QUOTE]
I am not commenting on the games not being free. I am pointing out that BBY has switched the price. On Wednesday, the games were marked at $19.99, today, $29.99. Might be YMMV, or mislabeled.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Returning and rebuying(or attempting to) on the spot won't work, if you ask me. Unless the return desk clerk is a total fuckin' idiot, they're not going to let you return a game for cash back, then say 'oh and I have a coupon(that makes it $0)' and then walk out with the game(s) you just returned for FREE.

If they do, expect not to see that dumbass the next time you hit up that BB store, since they will probably be fired.[/QUOTE]

Are you saying any clerk that accepts the $20 coupon would be fired as well? I don't see the difference between return / rebuy and new purchases.

For Xblades, I did in-store pickup and they had to return it and resell it to me to apply the coupon.

Let's tap and saints Row 2 were $20 today at my store.

Strange, Saints Row 2 is showing 19.99 online and is still the same price at the closest BBY to me. I'm thinking it's probably mislabeled.
 
Just to remind everyone that Amazon is currently PM'ing BB, including Smash Hits for $19.99.

I wanted Smash Hits, but after reading the coupon disclaimer, I doubt I would get SH for $10 at BB if it's left to the manager's discretion. Not to mention all but one BB in my area has it...and by tomorrow, it would most likely be gone.

So I just ordered Smash Hits (and Mirror's Edge for $14.99) from Amazon. Saves me time, gas, and tax. So just a heads-up for those looking for an alternative...especially if you still have Amazon credit.

They probably would be fired if they let you walk out of the store with something for absolutely nothing. Then again, I walked out with a stack of guides a couple years ago when they had a $10 off any guide from Prima Games and I brought up all of the $9.99 guides.:D

Of course, since then both local BB stores have become sticklers on not allowing anything out the door for a penny or free, unless it's part of a bundle and you're actually paying something for something in the order.:roll:

Why would they be fired? The return policy is clear return it within the allowed time. Then you can ask them to repurchase since its not opened and would be back on the shelf, where you can use the coupon that is put out by them (ie they made a mistake) so not the fault of the employee if they follow the rules. Hell the coupon just takes the amount of without authorization
 
[quote name='Nikadimas']Today is the 6th, coupon starts the 7th.[/QUOTE]

Thanks. I assumed the coupon would show up on the website at least one day before the actual start of the offer.
 
oh snap! BB is onto us!! We're not getting anything for freez anymore!! j/k, who knows why it hasn't updated, maybe they are lazy, or maybe the guy that replaced the guy from the X-Blades mishap is triple checking everything and realizing they are about to have another major sanfu-this time double!!...and what's this disclaimer for GH:SH?? Let me guess, "Not valid on Sale Items" so that means the box will pop up in the POS acting like it's applying the discount, but likely will not adjust the price...great!! :roll:
 
Picked up my SR2 yesterday. Hoping the coupon goes through. Otherwise it goes back...just too much backlog of games.

You'll be waiting a while - the SR2 coupon is not supposed to go live until the 21st...
 
So does anyone have any idea when we could expect these coupons to go live? I wanted to grab Fairytale Fights and maybe Smash Hits and I am about to head out now.

we can text message you if you give us your number! j/k! actually, some stores now have a kiosk where you can log into the RZ site to check your balance and print coupons. All standard functions should apply, so no reason why you couldn't go to the Gamers Club area and check to see if the coupons are up when you're in store and print them too.

EDIT: This kiosk should be by Customer Service... \/ \/ - you're welcome joshnorm!

Thanks for the info I did not know that
 
[quote name='jgiovanni']Just to make sure my browser isnt screwd. As of right now, BB reward zone does not have any coupons to print?[/QUOTE]

That is correct.

Correct
 
very strange, the coupons have been live usually before they were usable. I was remotely curious on fairy Tale fights. SR2 and a few others. I can wait it out.
 
Something tells me they might be altering the coupon for items on sale and/or notifying stores about proper SOP at the POS.
 
Well, I for one hope that they plan to wait and put them up at about 5:00pm or so. I was planning to go after work, so the less time there is for other people to grab everything before I get there, the better, as long as they appear in time for me to print them before leaving the office! ;)

Trust me, the dedicated El Hoardos have probably already pre bought every game available for free or otherwise with the coupon(s) and they're holding them till the coupon(s) go live so they can return/rebuy and get them for nothing or super cheap.

As for me, I've never had the time or money to do all of that just to try and make sure I get a deal, but I will try for a copy each of Let's Tap and Saint's Row 2 once the coupon goes live.
 
[quote name='Wario64']I just want the coupons now so I can get GH Smash Hits for $10...[/QUOTE]

Same here man. Looking to give these away as christmas presents.
 
Im looking to get GH:SH also, I wish these damn coupons would get posted. I also have the $5 off for GH5, so I will try and get it for $5, but I really dont see that happening.
 
All the offers other than the 150 points have been removed. THEY ARE ON TO US!!!!

Actually, SD probably killed it before it happened - I am pretty sure BB, BBV, HWV etc. are smart enough to watch the internet and modify accordingly. Hence the massive crash in Blockbuster TIVs. It was only a matter of time before Best Buy caught it - perhaps the last price guide drop did it??

Uh, no. There is always a gap of a day or two before the new coupons/special offers get posted. Everyone needs to just chill.
 
I just hope they still bring back the $10 off Silent Hill SM coupon on the 21st. It was good last week, but the game doesn't come out til this week :whistle2:(

Wow. Seriously? You think that they have the manpower to monitor stuff like this?

BB TIVs went for years before they changed them, and only then because their business is failing.

You act like no one on CAG hoards the shit out of games when deals like this happen. Yet, how many people bought up all of the copies of XBlades the last time this happened solely for flipping to Gamestop or wherever? Go check the GS thread if you don't believe me. People are inherently greedy and they screw it up for themselves by not being cautious when exploiting these deals.

I know I'm guilty of it and due to that fact I am essentially stonewalled most every time when Best Buy has a guide drop anymore, since I used to clean out the local two stores of penny guides. For a while I was even going to a much further BB store, but the employees there must've been told not to sell them AT ALL after my first couple successful runs there, as I've been blocked from buying them for .01 there now too.

But to think that only Slick Deals and Fat Wallet have caused this drought of exploitable deals is a bit naive. Look in the mirror before putting blame on someone else.

Exactly, when this coupon comes out take a gander at the trading forum, you'll see people asking for 15-25 bucks for Saints Row 2 and have like 10 copies of it.

I just want 2, one for me and one for my brother.
