Does somebody have the Best Buy coupon for $10 off of $29.99 and up? I'm going to buy Guitar Hero tomorrow and I need to save as much money on it as possible. Does the printed coupon work or do I have to have the actual thing?

 

[Timo]

You bastard, taunting us like that! You have the picture, but no way to click for the coupon for the cheap eats! :lol

(Don't really eat much at BK these days, ever since I gave up on eating the artery-clogging goodness that was the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch... do they even still serve that?)

 

[blindrocket]

I used it on Eyetoy Kinetic to get it for only twenty bones. That includes the new Eyetoy, too.

PDF says "No Copies", assuming you need an original?

Best possible after christmas purchase I can think of!

 

[Lindsay]

No copies? It wouldn't even print for me. ;_;

I'll be doomed for never getting a super coupon like this!

 

[Drensch]

Cheapassgamer has it, and so does 4color rebellion.

 

[PeachSmasher]

thank god for this coupon, i have used it 17 times with a total savings of 170 dollars thanks Best Buy

 

[ruffles]

It won't print right

 

[Belfast]

Hmm might use this to pick up an extra post-X360mas game.

 

[cvxfreak]

Nice coupon! It's even better than the 10% off any game one. I have a few ideas on what I want to use this for, too (GBA games and regular RE4).

 

[RevenantKioku]

So it is working for some via printing? Hoorah! Lets hope they have Shadow of the Colossus then.

 

[Ecrofirt]

If this isn't printing out right with Acrobat, you might want to try opening the file with Photoshop. Photoshop will open pdf files.

edit: And also, I can just print this out and hand it to the cashier?

 

[cvxfreak]

Yes, hand it to Best Buy and they'll scan it like any other coupon.

 

[Beezy]

Yes, hand it to Best Buy and they'll scan it like any other coupon.

And even if it doesn't scan, they'll just punch in the number.

Going to go pick up Guitar Hero with this tomorrow, assuming I can find it in stock anywhere. One thing I read on another board was that GH is classified as an accessory, not a game, so you may need to use the $10 off accessory coupon instead of the game one.

Me, I'm bringing both, just in case.

Just yell at them. That's what I did. They told me "Uh, not scanning because it's an accessory." Pointed at the game included, manager came over and he didn't put up a fight. I mean it includes a mother fucking game right in it.

 

[StoOgE]

is their an online promo code equivellent?

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Wait, there's a coupon for accessories too?

Neeever mind. This will be interesting, I bought an Xbox 360 controller and a game with coupon on same receipt, wonder if I can just price match it and be done or if I gotta return the damn thing.

We don't have photoshop. ;_;

 

[Son of Godzilla]

CAG has links to the gifs, just grab em and print in paint or whatever.

 

[Duderz]

It says in the fine print "No Copies."

Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

EDIT: All right, from the looks of this thread, looks like it's ok.

Well, I ended up printing up one of every coupon, just in case. The person scanned the game coupon, and it didn't take a discount, but the accessory one did. The best part was that there was such a huge line there (apparently the day after Xmas is a huge shopping day) that she didn't bother reading the "no copies" in the fine print, so I ended up getting the game for $60 + tax.

 

[shoplifter]

was it mismarked or something?

 

[ruffles]

Will the coupon work if it's printed out in black ink?

 

[Lindsay]

Thanks Ecro! Worked perfectly fine for me. It was wayyyy busy at BB today the line was huge but went speedily. The cashier scanned the printout (had it in color-blue background and all)~it worked (so it wasn't the guy just rushing to get the next person up) and so I snagged Advance Wars DS for $26. ^_^

But now my mom wants me to print out another so she can use it on a game for a b-day present for my brother. -.- I don't wanna "cheat" the system twice but I guess it can't be helped.

 

[cvxfreak]

You're not cheating the system if you come back later. Not like they'll remember you out of hundreds of people or anything...

 

[Red Blaster]

Yeah, you're allowed to use a coupon for different purchases. Has anybody been caught by a cashier with the whole "no copies" thing?

 

[heavy liquid]

I haven't been caught even though some haven't scanned properly, and they've had to punch it in manually and check with the supervisor. That said, I've been using color copies on good paper so I don't know if b&w will work (in response to ruffles question).

Bought Popolocrois and Tokobot today with the coupon. Maybe some DS games that I've wanted tomorrow.

 

[snacknuts]

Just to be safe you could probably open it up in Photoshop and paint over the "No copies" part. I wouldn't, but one could.

 

[Hero]

Nobody should feel bad about saving money.

I mean, really, think of it this way.

Would you have bought this game from BB if not for the coupon? Most likely the majority of people using the coupon would say no, so this coupon will make people on the fence about shopping for video games at BB go there. So they lose 10 bucks, but they get your business and move product off of shelves that otherwise might not have.

 

[ruffles]

Here's 2 coupons on a page that come with the no copies part deleted, courtesy of CAG.

[Ecrofirt]

I don't understand. How is this cheating the system?

Was this ad not supposed to be made public or something?

 

[Lindsay]

I dunno. I figure it was made available to one per person who actually had the ad book or whatever it was in. Its good until the end of January right? Maybe by then there'll be some other game I want/need to use it on.

 

[aerofx]

Retail employees care a lot about the Best Buy corporation

 

[Barry Lightning]

I think the $10 off any game one can work for PC games, too. But just to make sure get the PC one anyway.

That said, someone scan the second one please.

Ooo, and $5 off any Player's Choice / Greatest Hits / Platinum Hits game please. Thanks!
