You can use Amex cards (or visa, MasterCard, discover or debit cards) with Visa Checkout. It's their version of a secure PayPal Checkout and nothing more.

So here's how mine worked out in case anyone else is in the same boat with a $5 RZ cert.

$48 - Horizon Zero Dawn
$48 - Zelda: Breath of the Wild
$10 - PSN Card

$106 - $5 RZ card
======
$101 - $25 Visa deal:
======
$82 after tax and free delivery

Not to shabby for two new/unreleased games and a $10 PSN card.

Thanks for sharing Matty & Rich.

Thanks....I was hoping to find the Deluxe/SE version of Horizon: Zero Dawn but they only have the normal one. Have to think which way I want to go on this, on the PS Store they have the Deluxe version up for $10 more with some extra goodies worth it.

that I did not know...wow, that's a bit unusual. I'm considering For Honor and Ghost Recon: Wildlands and both of them have disc Deluxe versions.

Here's a link that goes in detail on whats included in the different versions. Doesn't look like anything really worth paying the extra money (just some consumables and skins) especially since you can get the regular version for 20% off at Best Buy or Amazon.

He means the Collector's Edition. That's what Matty and I picked up for $72 last month. It looks pretty nice. Here it is K&A J :

Except it looks like they fixed their mistake from last time. Now your subtotal has to be at least a $100.

Last time I added a $10 PSN card to go over $100, but only got $24 off. According to Corvin, you can still add a Network card to cross the threshold. That's no big imposition there.

I'm wondering what I should order...

Yeah, like I said above, gift cards can cross the $100 threshold but they don't get discounted.

There's both a Deluxe Edition of GR Wildlands for $56 (GCU) that just comes with some weapons and skins and an XP Booster and there's a Gold Edition for $80 (GCU) that includes that stuff as well as a Season Pass with two big expansions.

I just placed an order and tried to pay part of the order with a gift card and it made the Visa Checkout discount go away. I decided to just save the gift cards and take the 25 dollar discount despite not really needing to spend any money. At least the 3 items are pre-orders:

Zero Dawn Horizon
Doctor Strange 3D Steelbook
Ghost Recon Wildlands

I picked up Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition and the Moana 3D steelbook for $76.98

When they inevitably lower the price of the Moana steelbook before release, won't that screw up the discount?

Mine did. Bought a stream mop for 90. Put a 25 dollar Xbox card in there to get over 100 and I got the discount. Maybe they changed it at some point today.

Did you get a $25 discount? Because I bought two $48 games (Mass Effect Andromeda and Persona 5 Steelbook Edition) and a $10 PSN card and I got a $24 discount, not $25

Also, if any of the items prices you ordered gets reduced at Best Buy, or if the item has a lower price at a competitors', you can go ahead and do a price match and it won't affect the $25 off promotion. I did the price match after I ordered just to be safe.

It shouldn't, because the way it's broken down is I'm getting charged $30 for the movie and $52 for the game. So I would imagine that the movie would have to go below $30 before release to receive any more discounts.

Hey, that Visa Checkout deal looks like it's not a one-time use thing.
I just used it to order Ghost Recon Wildlands Gold Edition for $60. Seems like a good enough deal to keep live until reviews come in.

Hell, I might even order the Mass Effect Andromeda Collector's Edition car-thingy. Probably not, but maybe....

I thought people said last time they were canceling orders, including original ones?

Two day sale starting today. I've never jumped into the Skylanders games, but I figured for $4 for the game and some figures, we would take a chance on a set. I was also thinking about Guitar Hero for $16, but I don't even play the Rock Band games we have now that much.
