According to the DVD Bargains forum (read here), next week Best Buy will have a deal on PS2 Greatest Hits and XBox Platinum Hits. Buy two and get a $10 gift card.

So I'm wondering ... what are the chances of the cashier accepting the coupons for $5 off a $19.99 game AND giving the gift card? If so, two coupons and one gift card = $10 per game! Just need to find a willing cashier...

There should be no problem with using ONE gift card. Those bonuses just ring up at the end automatically. Using TWO at the same time won't likely work The coupon says "Not valid in combination with other coupons or offers".

It's possible, BB let u have $10 GC if u buy 2 XBOX games separate and use $5 off $19.99.

I am looking forward

Where do you guys get these $5.00 off coupons I hear so much about?

Decker

Easiest way: Go to BB. Find the Gift cards in the CD cases (at the CD racks, game racks or in the front). Find the green ones. Put $1 on each card (or any amount you desire). Each card has a coupon clearly visable for $5 off $19.99 or higher game or accessory. It's a great deal and they're in every BB I've visited lately.

There are literally hundreds of those coupons at the Best Buy stores near me (2).

If you buy the games separate, how would the free gift card ring up? Would the cashier have to do it manually?

I hope you guys take advantage of their Zoner Clun promotion. I get a $5 coupon every couple of weeks....

It's doubtful that you'll be able to use a $5 off coupon. When BB does a buy x get $x GC free, what they usually do is drop the price of the items by the amount of the gift certificates. That way, even if you return the items, you'll still have purchased a gift certificate from them as gcs can't be refunded unless you live in certain states.

Also, the computer won't let you do both as it won't let you reduce an item that's part of another offer. When I tried to do this on another offer, it kept on changing the price back to the buy 2 offer and was really giving the cashier fits.

So the receipt for the buy two games, get a $10 gc would show two games @ $15 and a $10 gift certificate.

BB more than likely will not allow you to do this deal w/ a coupon. Usually their policy is when you are getting a free item along w/ your purchase, you can not use a coupon on it. They may allow you to, but YMMV.

doubting this will work, but someone please keep us informed if you try it on sunday.

I've been wondering about this too. If anyone does try this with 1 or 2 coupons, please post here. Thanks.

If you buy the games separately, you don't get the deal. It's the computer that does the adjustment and it'll only do that when you buy them together .

That's exactly how it works. I did this a couple months ago.

so, the CC deal this week is still better. Buy 2 get 1 free, comes out to $13.33/game. BB's deal comes out to $15/game in the end.

Do you really want 3 of those games?

Gideon68

Just saying which was the better deal if you were interested in the games.

Lame, I know, but I just had to!

Can you mix and match, X-Box Platinum and PS2 Greatest Hits, and still get the gift card?
