Nope, I did it 4 times (I ran out of shit to preorder).

You know this is really showing me that I have no interest in anything coming this year. I preordered Ghost Recon and Mass Effect but anything else I'd rather just get on sale for cheaper.

I'm gonna pre-order the Wii U version of BOTW later today simply because the Switch is going to be impossible to find until sometime in September.
Edit: Ah, deal is dead. Bummer. Well, I still have a $10 coupon I might throw at BOTW anyway.

Fuck, I just realized I should have used this to buy a bunch of vinyl. Oh well, I have like 10 orders of video games, so can't complain.
The assumption that I would make a decision based on one person's opinion (even though I listed two... but it's easy to ignore Bosman because Moriarty is controversial) is pretty silly. I understand why people would think that though since they're the only ones I referenced in my post. I do have a brain though and am perfectly capable of independent thought and decision making.
Anyway, most importantly here is that I'm happy to be getting BOTW on launch day for even less than GCU/Prime would have afforded. Plus I'll be able to play it instead of trying to figure out how to secure a Switch, which is already proving to be damn-near impossible.

5 days later and bestbuy finally activated by gamers club, so incompetent.
Motherfuckers -_-
Of course it's after my account finally gets gamers club.

Sad.
I forgot RE7 and KH 2.8 were coming out and was going to use this deal. Thought the promo was good till the 25th, but they killed it early. Oh well, should probably clear up my backlog before I start piling up more.

it is really weird that they extended the deal (it was supposed to end on the 21st) and then killed it only a day or two after :-/

My guess is that they extended the deal, still had a cap on how many redemptions they wanted, then when new sale prices hit in the Sunday ad flyer, a bunch of people made orders and the cap was hit. Probably wasn't from games, but electronics or whatever (although the B2G1 free preowned sale and Battlefield 1 Early Enlister deals were good).

So uh. It looks like when you pick up one item in an order they so charge you the full amount for the order, not divided amongst the items like I was led to believe.So if you have a pre order down the line attached to an order you end up pre paying for those items as well.
Not a huge deal. But something to consider when placing these orders. Make sure everything is close together.

What happened with mine is that there wasn't enough credit on the card when they charged it. So I had to put another card and the discount disappeared.

I think it gets refunded though... I can't say with certainty but I've had more charges and credits from bestbuy from a single goddamn order than I've ever seen in my life. It's finally sorted now that I picked up Yakuza 0 to complete the order but I had partials plus the full then minus everything then plus the full then minus that and plus only what I picked up and now it's finally finished. I had like 8 pending entries (mostly offsetting) in my pending transactions over the weekend.

What? My RE7 and Kingdom Hearts from two different preorders were shipped and I was only charged $39.xx for each with two different charges.

Mine was paid with a debit card. But it's showing the full amount having been charged to my card and when I asked the customer service person there, they said it would be charging the full amount. Hopefully you guys are right, and she was wrong. I mean the deal still makes it worthwhile, but I don't want to have that money held for months by BB.

Dammit, should have put in a second order when I had the chance. I keep thinking of more and more games that I wanted to pick up.
I also paid with Debit Card on Friday for a Persona 5 Take Your Heart pre-order, and a copy of Gravity Rush 2. Set both to pick-up-in-store because I wanted to play GR2 ASAP. They charged the full $104 up-front as a hold. I picked up GR2 on Saturday. The hold was released on Monday (all money went back into my account, not just part), and I was charged Tuesday for JUST the GR2 portion of the order.
Now I just owe for the P5 portion when that comes out.
Which IS weird, but it works out in the end

i just realized i couldve preordered mass effect and Battlefield 1 premium to get the $25 off. I just feel bad paying $50 for a fucking season pass.

Just keep and sell. Pretty easily turn a profit if you don't want to keep them.

Thanks for the info, guys. Never thought to turn around and sell it. Lol.
