Works on preorders as well and stacks with GCU discounts. Does not work in combination of rewards certificates though. If you have an existing order, youd have to cancel it and reorder, its finalized with VISA checkout not the normal Best Buy checkout.

If you don't have a VISA card, no worries, you can register your MC or Discover and still take advantage of it.

EDIT:

Looks like its one transaction per account, which wasn't the case before.

Exclusions:

Excludes Amazon streaming players; Amazon Echo products; Google Home; Google Chromecast and Chromecast Audio; Google Wifi; Bose® audio products; Sonos; Polk Audio; Denon; select Samsung home audio, TVs, Blu-ray and DVD players; Sony audio, TVs and 3D glasses, Blu-ray and DVD players, and set-top boxes; select LG TVs and Blu-ray players; subscription software services; GoPro cameras and accessories; digital music services and download cards; select Dyson products; Pacific Sales products; and all Magnolia Home Theater products.

Can I change my payment method on a pre-ordered item?

 

[Burning Justice]

Hmm... This on top of GCU might make getting MK8 Deluxe worth it after all...

Sadly, can't really do it with the Switch itself, since I can't cancel and re-order.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Can you buy a $100 PSN card for $75 or are prepaid cards excluded?

 

[Pantz]

Wonder if it's one time only or if you can do it unlimited like last time?

I'm curious about this as well

Shame my bank changed from Visa to Mastercard.

you can use Visa Checkout with a MasterCard

[Velcro Fly]

Don't think giftcards or prepaid currency cards will work as they didn't when this was live before Christmas.

 

[Glassboy]

I can't get it to work. I did previously use it to stack of other preorders so they may have fixed the one use per account unfortunately.

You don't need a Visa card to use Visa Checkout.

Dang it. I was looking forward to preordering all the switch stuff I wanted for the rest of the year

 

[Rootbeer]

cancelled my 5 BotW amiibo and re-ordered all 5 along with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to get the $25 off... off to a great start.

Now, what to order next!

 

[Aztechnology]

So ummm. Will 2 games with GCU count on this? Or does it have to be before tax? Because I'm at 95.98 before tax.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Has to be $100 after GCU. They stopped prorating the discount.

Time to stock up on some amiibo I guess.

 

[-MD-]

Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0 and a GCU sub for $104.

 

[Rootbeer]

NOTE that while the Master Edition is gone and probably won't be restocked outside of cancellations, you can still get the Breath of the Wild Special Edition which has everything the Master Edition has sans the Master Sword Statue.

Great item to order if you are wanting Zelda this March.

Add another game or some amiibo to it and you're golden!

[Totakeke]

Re-ordered the BotW special edition with Arms in one order. Probably could do another with Splatoon 2 and another game... could always cancel them afterwards.

 

[immortald3ath]

Worked for me. Got Zelda special Edition and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Just let the Switch Pro controller be available then I'll get that a and ARMS.

 

[ironmang]

Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, and $10 PSN card for $86.

Would have preferred to use some of the credit and coupons that are piling up but not bad.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Not nearly as good as when i could pair it with the B1G1 sale, but what can you do?

A shame I can't preorder a Switch with this.

 

[The Maverick]

How long will this apply for? Looking at a new PC.

Oh, good call. The gift cards won't be included in the discount but they'll still apply for the $100 minimum. After GCU you get two $60 games for like 95 so you'll still get $24 off. Better that then spending more money on useless junk.

They usually just last one day iirc.

 

[Rootbeer]

*EDIT* nevermind... order went through... i got the discount twice... course, I don't know if they will cancel the 2nd order or what... but it went through and didn't tell me I couldn't do it

I know the OP says one per account, just wondering if anyone has been able to use it more than once?

I tried to do a 2nd order... discount showed after entering my details... but when i submitted the order, it seemed like the order went through, but i never received a txt/e-mail and my cart got emptied. nothing on order page either.

if the order didn't go through, at least keep my items in the cart? hmmmm

Anyone? When does it reflect the price change? Only after checkout or?

Does Tax not count? That's what I'm asking. It's over 100 after tax.

 

[Totakeke]

No, tax rarely counts for minimum purchases.

 

[Aztechnology]

No, tax rarely counts for minimum purchases.

Ok thanks. What to buy for $5 to bring this up.

 

[Velcro Fly]

With GCU, two full priced games are going to be $96 before taxes, so a $5 or so filler item to get the discount.

amiibo make good filler items if you're a nintendo fan

Or... lego dimensions packs.

just some suggestions!

What are the chances I can get my money back out of the Amiibo if I sell it on something like Amazon? I know I'm being frugal as hell, I just don't care about Amiibos.

 

[Burning Justice]

I got it to work fine--twice, even--and I've used it before.

 

[Rootbeer]

So, I have two orders submitted and now showing on my order page. Would it be pushing my luck if I tried to get more than 2 orders using this promo?

Is BB known to cancel orders on stuff like this?

They didn't cancel any of the three I did before Christmas and I know of others who did way more.

[leroidys]

Just buy and return them. If you check your order, the 25 off gets distributed based on the price of each item. You do actually have to pick up the item though. If you try to cancel online, the promo disappears.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

When they had this promo last month I pre-ordered two games at a time and it gave me $24 off a $95.98, but it looks like they changed it this time around and I have to hit $100.00 with filler items.

 

[Rymuth]

Does it exclude Digital downloads like season passes, etc?

 

[Aztechnology]

Awesome, thanks. Also as for Visa checkout and only being able to do the deal once. What if that was just your primary payment method. You can't not get the discount, so I don't know why that is an issue. Why not enforce it once per account?

Also I don't know why, but I can't add the BOTW special edition. It says it isn't available for local pickup, so I change it to shipping and it just goes right back to local pickup.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Hell yeah. Just preordered nioh and horizon zero dawn. Thanks OP!

 

[GodfatherX]

Just used it 3 times, so not exactly sure about only being able to use it once
