Not that it makes a huge difference, but if you're not currently GCU, you'll get $20 for the trade in, if you are currently GCU, you'd get a 10% bonus or $22. That $6 figure was based on getting $22, so it might cost you $8 + tax to upgrade. It's a really nice deal either way -- especially if it allows you to get 2 years of GCU for $30 as well!

Decker

It's a $20 gift card (or $22 if you already have GCU). You can spend it on anything at any time (gift cards don't expire, unlike Reward Zone certificates).
Still, it prints out a $10 off CoD Advanced Warfare coupon that expires one week after game is released, so if you did the trade-in, it probably makes sense to do it this week and put $5 down on CoD AW so you can get the extra $10 RZ certificate issued to you on the back-end after you pick up the game at the discounted price with GCU and trade-in coupon.

I picked up Sunset Overdrve and added a new GCU subscription as well. I'm a current reward zone member as well as a current GCU member. I had them scan the game first, then reward zone card, and finally the new GCU card. Game rang in at $48 and GCU card rang in at $30. I found the GCU cards back in the games area. Pretty easy transaction, no manger required.

They don't know what they are talking about. I bought Super Smash Bros 3DS and extended my membership all the way to 2018.

I just checked my GCU status and it shows good until May of 2018. So it most certainly stacks.

Decker

I only needed the manager to get them to scan the card. No override needed. My teller was completely clueless (and I know who she is -- I almost let the guy behind me go ahead to avoid her. Should have done that in retrospect).

Darn. I ordered online for instore pickup and was hoping they could add the GCU extension to the order. Might just have to buy another game and then exchange for a different one in a few weeks, so I can get both my $10 rebate and the extra 2 years.

Rob V

^^ Me too... they'll allow the extension.

Deftones

I just finally checked my account to make sure it stacked. My GCU was applied to my existing account. Good through May 2018. Debating if I want to buy a game next week, just to put me even longer. This $30 price is the lowest it has been ever, right? I got in at $60 and though it was a great deal.

Decker

For the general public, yes. We existing (and recently expired) GCU members (back when the promotion wasn't 20% off new games but rather monthly coupons, game magazine and increased RZ credits with pre-orders) got in on the new GCU membership at this rate $30/2yr via an email coupon.

You got overdrive for $30? How does that GCU thing work exactly? I only skimmed through the thread. Can I still get in on the GCU?

Rob V

Guys, where - exactly - can you check the details of your GCU membership? For the life of me I cannot find the link to show those details.

Deftones

re-read what he posted. game was $48, GCU was $30.

click on the my best buy tab on their main page. after you sign in, click on rewards where you'd print a certificate. once you get to that page, about halfway down on the right side, it'll list your date of expiration.

tlwizard

You got it to work with the order online and pickup in store?

Canis Firebrand

Damn.. I forgot to add mine yesterday when I picked up Sunset Overdrive. Though I wasn't sure it worked on a pre-order as I did the pre-order online. I'll have to see if there is another game I want before the offer expires. The next pre-order is Halo collection, but that isn't out until 11/11 I think and I think the GCU offer will be over then.

Music

Only if you wanted them to cancel your online pre-order and then ring it up in the store, losing the $10 pre-order bonus.

Best Buy is doing a buy 1 get one 1/2 off for 3ds games too.

mattysemo247

Finally!

Though I do wish Best Buy was doing it, so I could stack it with GCU.

Schloob1

Sweet, should be on long enough to see what stores are doing for BF. Otherwise will be picking up these 3 for sure and getting to use the gift cards I got on the sweet 3x trade in value that happened this summer there.

Sunset Overdrive
Halo Collection
COD

Guru Askew

I'll probably be getting Halo: MCC and Lego Batman 3 plus a 3rd full-priced $60 game that can be exchanged for GTAV the following week.

Jcheckel

Id love it if Amazon matched this, I'd pick up Shadow of Mordor, Lego Batman 3, and Unity, with all the credit I have there.
