Store card without branding? Probably not. But worth a try.

Mine went to $102.xx after tax, still wouldn't work. It's really weird. I'm not going to even bother adding a fluff item. No point in spending $10-$15 on something I don't want just to save a few bucks over that.

neat trick for those not wanting to go over the ~95 for two games:
add a third item that puts you over 100 dollars (doesnt matter the item)
proceed to checkout
select visa checkout and sign in
after you sign in to Visa Checkout select [Continue] to get to your order screen
Note: This is BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY CONFIRM YOUR ORDER!
the items in your cart will be listed with the option to choose shipping/pickup as well as update any quantity.
select [Delete] from the item you do not wish to purchase.
you'll see the right side of your screen update the Discount to -24.00 regardless if your order is below 100
cheers.

So this deal ends pretty soon, right? I'm on the fence about getting a Pro but I have no idea how much I could get for my 500 GB PS4 on eBay.

You don't need to do this. Just adding 2 games will get you the -24 automatically.

didnt work for me when i tried it. i guess ymmv? maybe it matters what screen you're on in the checkout process.
anyway, the above listed method worked for me so i hope it helps at least one other person get this deal. i'm set on all my pre orders for next year!

it will be dead by tonight or tomorrow for sure, if not sooner. And don't sell your console on ebay man.
Also 25$ off of a Pro is NOT a good deal. Do not do it. Sign up for target registry and get 15% coupon minimum. I ended up getting a pro for 324$, many people got one for 296$

you're better off selling on Craigslist with a meet up at a Police station.

Eh, it's pretty easy to avoid selling to shitty buyers on ebay.
it's not impossible, but to be fair for any solid deal some slickdeals users will say you get banned for doing X thing
far more likely is they would just cancel your order and warn you.
the only thing I know they have banned people over is abusing GCU and ordering for other people or ordering more than 3 copies of a single game.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of the slickdeals people were legit banned, but that is because they placed a bunch of orders of last guardian or ff15 (like 21 of each) in order to sell them locally for a $10 profit each.

Take a look at your order once you've put it in - each game will have its own value. That's what they will charge you once the game is released.

I love how down in Bradenton Florida, they have special parking spaces at the Police Station, clearly marked, for meeting up and completing online transactions. They have had it for several years.

Ah, yeah - this makes much more sense. Best Buy has been pretty strict in their GCU 3 identical games always, so I can see that being the case with a lot of slickdealers.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
The only thing I can see there being an issue on is the Limit 1 offer per customer.
During the last promo I ordered several orders at $100ish U.S. and gotten the discount. They haven't canceled any from those orders. During this one, I placed two orders which haven't been canceled yet.
Last time:
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon The Wildlands Deluxe ed.
MLB The Show 17
Mass Effect: Andromeda Deluxed Edition

This time:
Kingdom Hearts III
For Honor
Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Limited Edition

They do and this is the link but no titled have been added since FFXV which I believe was the last title to offer that pre-order promotion.
Actually I'm debating picking up another set of games. TLG and pre-ordering Nier Automata. What ya'll think?

Sorry for the double post.
Nier Automata looks sweet, but Bestbuy doesn't send Steam keys so I won't be doing that. As for TLG do you have a PS4 pro?

Do they charge you right away, or not until they have been shipped like amazon?

Not sure why there's two concurrent threads, but I posted this to the other thread:
Definitely worked for me.
Double checked all my confirmations as well.

Ah okay. Cool.
This deal seems like it'd be a lot better if I had Gamers Club card. Debating on getting or not, but I don't buy many games at launch.

With GCU you get 20% off all new games, whether you buy them at launch or not. Also 10% off used games and an extra 10% credit on trade ins. It's a great value.

Definitely worthwhile. 20% off software at any time during its release (not just new releases) and stacks with sale prices. The only downside if that I have to pay Best Buy tax, which I don't have to pay Amazon.

Thanks OP. I put in orders for Gravity Rush 2, Resident Evil VII, Nioh & Nier Automata. ~$40 each after gcu and deal.
if you pay income tax you have to pay tax on amazon otherwise you are doing something illegal
but yeah I recommend GCU.
it's $30 for 2 years, and a single order to make this deal would basically pay for it. two orders and you would be instantly saving money.
amazon's prime switch to match GCU to a degree is nice, but GCU working on sale prices is also amazing.
