Can you buy a GCU membership with this and have it count to the $100 total? My discount expires soon so I'll need to renew anyway.
No. It remains 25 dollars off.
The idea is that you would get '50 off' by making two 100 dollar orders.
Yes.
2 59.99 dollar games + GCU > 59.99 becomes 47.99 because if GCU is in your cart it discounts the other things in your cart:
Product Total $125.98
Discounts
Promotional Codes -$25.00
Shipping FREE
Sales Tax, Fees & Surcharges$0.00
Order Total
$100.98
So 101 dollars for 2 full price preorders and GCU.
If you can afford the temporary hit, you can order them again with this deal then return the full price ones after they arrive

Nope. One $25 discount per order.
That's what I was guessing but I was hoping to be wrong. Guess the SSD will have to wait.

I was thinking about this too...I'd be at $99.99 if I get a Switch pro controller. Does over $100 after tax work?
Course I wasn't even planning on getting the pro controller. Maybe neon joycons. A discount on the dock would've been nice but that's not there yet.

They must be getting slammed. I can't get Visa checkout to work.
Think you're right, thanks.

It wouldn't connect for me at first, but the second time it went through.

I've tried about 15 times so far. Guess I'll just keep at it.

If it isn't $100 before tax it is prorated I believe.
It got slick dealed, better believe it's buckling.
Np
Am I blind or is it really difficult to actually tell when my GCU is expiring? Can't seem to find that info on the website on mobile.

Just bought a bunch of stuff last night...shit
Tried a few times for AirPods and figured it wasn't meant to be (I have a $50 gift card elsewhere waiting for those to get in stock there). Tried with neon joycons and GCU membership and it worked.
Now I won't have to preorder stuff off Amazon for a discount, and I get some money back eventually when points build up! (And like another 1% back from Ebates!)

Yeah. I can't seem to get my orders thru.
Well, I got my order through. Then cancelled it five minutes later when it said my card couldn't be verified and I ended up with a screwy order. Nothing has changed, it's the same card I used that worked just last month for this promo. So I just went in, "changed" my card details, and it went through... For full price, no $25 discount. Now I just hope I don't wake up to my phone blowing up with bank notifications tonight/tomorrow. Nothing was pulled so there should be no issue, but then there also shouldn't have been an issue with my card, so.

Thanks for reminding me about ebates. I always forget to do it. If I can ever get my order through.
Guess I need to post this again since there are some people who seem to have already forgotten after 2 page. Wow, how the mind slips!
"Allegedly"
Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)
Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.
You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM

A couple... try 40 and no luck. Might be a regional issue. West Coast here.
I've tried like 20 times, I swear. Keeps saying there was an issue connecting to Visa Checkout.
Oh how fun, got a pending charge not only on the $86 (after tax) order, but a partial order of $23 that it for some reason broke off into when I cancelled the order, as well.
That's $100 in pending charges to have to work around for a week or two, in an account that I was trying to keep at $150~. My freaking luck.
And it makes NO sense -- Same card, house, phone, everything!
This sucks.

I refuse to believe Visa checkout can't handle the checkouts right now. What is going on.
Best Buy why don't you want me to purchase these ridiculously overpriced Joycons.

After beating my head against the wall for 15 minutes I gave up on the checkout, and then an hour later tried again and got through on the first attempt. Maybe its a timed cookie or something?

FINALLY. $85 for Joycon Charging grip and double red Joycons. Still stings, but significantly less than it would have.

Well guess I'm cancelling my pro controller stand alone order and reordering with Arms
I mean, GCU is only like $30 for two years so there's that. GCU also applies to amiibos for anyone that likes those lol.
Edit: Warning to anyone who decides to buy GCU itself through this deal. It'll apply to the other items in the cart, but GCU may take days to actually activate on your account to use for future orders when purchased online.

I couldn't get it to connect but now that it connected, the discount isn't showing up. :/

Damn, Best Buy really is heaven for a gamer. Between these VISA checkout things and GCU, I'm getting brand new games for $38. Don't know how this is sustainable for them, but whatevs.
I'm glad I waited on preordering Nier. Question is, what should game 2 be? Should I put money down on Persona 5 now, or should I go backwards and get RE7? Or maybe I should Crack and get Horizon on launch? What does GAF think?

So irritated. Wouldn't connect, so kept logging in again. Then it said we need to verify your identity. I did the verification code, entered it correctly, and it says you've reached the maximum number of attempts on this verification code, click here to send anther one. Did it 3 more times and it said the same thing for every verification code. Tried the challenge question, answered it correctly and it says we are unable to verify your identity. We've locked your account. What the actual fuck!
Nier and Horizon for me.
