I picked up three DVDs on the BB RewardZone $12.99 deal this week and only got the $12.99 price on the first one (GB&U). I had to go to the service desk and convince them that they screwed up. The uninformed staff tried to tell me that the Fight Club DVD I was trying to buy was the two disc SE and the single disc was on sale (they said wrong picture in ad). They had no explanation for the incorrect price that Die Hard rang up. Good thing they had some single disc FC there selling for $14.99 (at regular price) so they could realize that it was the two disc set for $12.99 ($17.99 for non-RZ members). It took about 10 minutes at the service desk and a trip from an employee back to the DVD section but I finally got the discs for $12.99 with the difference credited back to my debit card.

Thanks for the heads up!

How is this a bargain?

Dabaomb

it's more of a warning.

Though it probably didn't deserve it's own thread and could've just been posted in this week's Best Buy Thread.

same thing happened to me,went up to register with GTBTU and the Great Escape and told cashier they where 12.99 with RW zone membership,she rang them up and only GTBTU rang up at the correct price,i told her great escape is in the AD and she looked at the ad then manually changed great escape at 12.99

NEUMANN

Its about possible widespread store mistakes on the bargain,so i see no problem with it being in the bargain forum

dvdphilic

This thing happened. The cashier must manually change the price.

Same thing happened to me today. They had to manually fix it after triple checking the ad to see if the DVDs qualified. I got Boogie Nights, Great Escape and Goodfellas.

I also had a problem getting the 18 months no interest on my Sony DVD Recorder I bought today. That took a quadruple check of the ad before they would find a way to give me the extra interest free time.

So are you saying that we can't buy the 2-disc version for $13? If so, fuck.

darkside

You can, but for some reason their system only puts the discount on the first DVD. You have to get them to manually fix it or ring up each DVD individually.

ben12

Got it, thanks!

I was going to get in on this, but it's not that much of a deal.

BB puts these up as 2 for 25 often. That's better than this hassle.

whotony

i never saw these titles in any 2 for 25.
anyway these are 2 for 26 for rz so what's the hassle?
just make sure they ring properly at checkout.

Big Worms

Never seen these titles for 2 for 25. But anyway another question, is this reward zone thing worth it besides for this sale? I want 2 movies but the difference is $10 which is the cost of the reward zone thing.

The cost of the rewardzone membership is $9.99 per year. You earn 100 points per dollar and occasionally get double or triple points. For every $15,000 points you can redeem for a $5 reward cert that you can use in-store for purchase of $10 or more.

Peep

If it works out to be the same price, why not join? You're not losing anything and you'll be kicking yourself if they have similar sales in the future.

As annoying as Best Buy can be at times the reward zone has been well worth it for me. I got back a lot of GCs for my purchases (I got back $150 on my PC in addition to the other rebates) which i turned into free DVDs and this deal was excellent. I haven't expected to get any of these SEs this cheap. It really is worth the $10 a year is you spend any kind of money at Best Buy.

too much

They only did the 2 for $25 when the first batch of Warner 2 disc collections first came out (Unforgiven, etc.). This is actually a good deal!

alfredog1976

I was able to buy Great Escape SE and Goodfellas SE on same receipt with no problems (both scanned at $12.99).

Big Worms

Thanks for the response back on the RZ membership.

HumanResearch

Picked up Goodfellas, Boogie Nights, Schindler's List, and True Romance with no problems.

This happened to me as well when I picked up Se7en and Fight Club. The cashier had to call over a manager who said "for some reason, it will only give the discount on one per purchase, so you have to ring them seperately." The ad doesn't say anything about limiting it to one per purchase, so it's just something with the computer system.

Neuman

I checked my receipt... and released I paid $12.99 for Seven and I got Citizen Kane from free! And the guy who checks the reciept at the door didn't notice.
