Be careful with cancelling orders in the future, if you have orders where some games have shipped out. I just cancelled some games from my last visa promotion ($10 off of 100), and I just noticed that I got charged for the discount I received on the games I have from those orders.

For example, the game I received... I got a $4.80 off promotion, but because I cancelled the game I didn't receive yet, they billed me $4.80 because of cancelling the promotion.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to cancel in pairs if I ever do. If I only want to cancel one it might be better to just keep the order and sell off the extra copy.

 

[KevMan1815]

Yeah for me it showed the discount until I hit place order and it reverted back/removed the promotion. So I had to make sure I was over $100 for it to actually work.

Okay, that's what the problem was. I just threw some Animal Crossing cards in there to bring it over $100. My wife is getting Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer from my son, so now she has something to use with it. Thanks again!

I'm trying to pre-order Last Guardian.

I logged in with Visa Checkout, added my credit card to it, and I'm using $15 in certificates (and GCU).

Not getting any sort of Visa Checkout promo (even less than $25 like some people are saying)

am I doing this right?

you can't use certificate or gift card

 

[mysocksarepink]

So how does the $10 work after you preorder a game?

 

[Rookhelm]

well, poo

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

So how does the $10 work after you preorder a game?

Some time after the game ships, or after you pick it up, the $10 reward certificate should be loaded onto your account. I forget if they give a heads-up or not.

 

[Rookhelm]

Eventually, you got a $10 certificate added to your account. I think i'ts after you get the game.

Thanks. Was searching for Spider-Man and coming up empty handed.

 

[Koppai]

Have any of yall ordered Persona 5 LE and another 60 game, how much you paid.

 

[zulux21]

that was 91.76 shipped.

 

[FHIZ]

53.99 before tax.

Have Persona 5 special edition and another standard game, with all discounts the total order is 100.68 (including tax)

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

So are orders placed with this method charged immediately like Paypal, or upon shipment like usual Best Buy orders?

 

[RedlineRonin]

Does BBY charge you now it when the games actually ship?

 

[perfectsil]

Does BBY charge you now it when the games actually ship?

No they charge you when you order, always been that way with online order

 

[goldenpp72]

For anyone worried, so far a lot of my orders have shipped, I had about a dozen of them and multiple items of each have shipped, so they don't seem too upset by it anyways.

 

[tm24]

Does BBY charge you now it when the games actually ship?

If you preordered stuff theres a temporary charge

 

[zulux21]

No they charge you when you order, always been that way with online order

uh no...
they temp charge you to verify your card, and that vanishes, and then you aren't charged until it ships.

though if you pay with paypal it is right away I believe.

Yeah that's what we were asking about. Thank you!

 

[Living the Dream]

Just another reason to buy physical. Amazing deal

 

[LiK]

I don't have a Visa card. Sigh.

 

[pip77]

Sweet. Will definitely use it to get my wife's Christmas gift

 

[Living the Dream]

I don't have a Visa card. Sigh.

You don't need one

 

[DangerMouse]

I don't have a Visa card. Sigh.

Despite the name you don't actually need one, you can add a different card, which is certainly weird to think about lol

 

[pip77]

Yep

From: https://secure.checkout.visa.com/customer_support/faq?locale=en

Q: What kind of payment methods can I add to my Visa Checkout account?

A: You can add Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover credit or debit cards to your Visa Checkout account.

Wat, thanks, will try it out.

 

[maximum360]

Sweet, just saved a shitload with this. 10 orders, so that's 250 bucks on top of GCU savings.

Persona 5 Premium Edition
Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age
For Honor
Horizon Zero Dawn
Resident Evil 7
Nioh
Kingdom Hearts 2.8
Digimon World: Next Order
Tales of Berseria
Nier Automata
Gravity Rush 2
The Last Guardian
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Yakuza 0
Max Effect Andromeda Deluxe Edition
Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD ReMIX
Red Dead Redemption 2
Days Gone
Kingdom Hearts 3
God of War


I was also going to put FF7 Remake, Spider-man, Detroit Become Human, and Zelda BotW on it, but I ran out of room on my card until those orders clear off lol.

Nice. Already had preordered Resident Evil with GCU and $30 in gift certificates so didn't use this deal [cancelling and then waiting for gift certificates to become available again is a pain].

I did use it however to order:
God of War
FF 7 remake
Horizon Zero Dawn
Mass Effect Andromeda

All for a grand total of $152. I might even get some $10 gift certificates down the road for these. Worse case scenario is that for any of these that I may not be into after purchase I can trade in for almost no loss.

 

[LiK]

holy crap, glad i whined about it. just canceled and reordered with the discount. this is amazing. thanks guys.

 

[Square Triangle]

So Visa's says once per customer but it's still working after the first order?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

So Visa's says once per customer but it's still working after the first order?

Yep. I put in like 6 orders all together, gave me the discount on all of them. Now, we wait and see if they cancel them. I doubt it, but you never know.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Correct

 

[Jamaro85]

Exactly. My main concern with this was ordering games that are nowhere near one another with release date, getting the first game, then deciding that I no longer want the second game before it comes out. I'd hate to cancel the order on the second game and then get charged back for the entire discount. But with how cheap the games come out to there is no risk as you can easily trade in/sell the game on eBay and get your money back (and some extra on top I'm sure).

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

gravity rush 2 and Nioh still dont have release dates

i swear they hire chimps to run the videogame section

also cant pre order them

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I just pre-ordered Nioh.

 

[Jamaro85]

Weird, others in here have mentioned using the deal to pre-order those, and it's letting me add them to the cart.

Edit: I see what you mean with both having no release date though, and I agree that it's a little lazy of them to not have that up to date.

 

[PhantomVash808]

Damn I already pre ordered both Horizon Collectors edition and Mass Effect Andromeda Deluxe edition together almost 2 weeks ago. With GCU it came out around $159.

Do you think Best Buy would honor this deal if I contact them?

Just cancel and re order.

 

[Jeremy]

When does this end?

 

[Jamaro85]

When does this end?

Supposedly through Christmas Day. As for how long they'll allow customers to place multiple orders using the promotion? I wouldn't necessarily expect that to last for very long.

 

[PhantomVash808]

Just cancel and re order.

I paid for most of it with a gift card will the gift card balance return to my account if I cancel it? I only just joined GCU and 1st time buying from Best Buy online so i'm not sure how it works.
