    Does GCU only apply to games when brand new or does it take money off games after they've been out for a while as well, so say a game has dropped to $39.99 does it further discount that?

      Yes, the discount would apply on any price drops or sales on new games, it looks like.

          Wow so even if a game is on a weekly sale I still get the 20% off? If that's the case then it's an even better deal then I thought. Wonder how this discount works with Black Friday specials?

            From what I can tell, yeah. I went to bestbuy.com to test it out, and Destiny is currently on sale for $55.99. Added it to my cart and it comes out to $44.79, so it's discounting the 20% on the sale price. Not sure if it'll work the same on Black Friday. I would imagine it would, but don't know for sure.

              The GCU discount works on sale prices and Black Friday. The only thing is doesn't work on is price matches from other stores/websites.

                Went to Best Buy had these $15 phones that were supposed to be $25 but they put them in the wrong place. They gave me the $15 price tag anyway.

                So I got 2 $15 phones and 4 years of GCU for $30.

                  I had the exact same experience about an hour ago. $15 phone's ringing up for $25 but got the lower price. Only bought one though since I had just joined in June.

                    For the trac phones did you guys get rung up at the register or use the phone department? The phone department won't give it to me unless I activate it

                      I went to the register. Didn't have to activate it. They gave me the option.

                        Stupid question probably, but can you do this online? Or just in store?

                        You don't have to do separate transactions. My 2 phones were bought on the same order. They just used 2 GCU cards. I checked online and I'm good until 2018.

                          Does this GCU thing need a phone of a certain dollar amount for it to work? Or will any amount work? Because their DOTD has no contract phones for 3 bucks today(Friday)

                            Rakuten.com has PS4 controllers for $15 off today (white, blue or black) if anyone needs a controller. I never did get my PS4 from them though, they shipped it late and we moved so it got sent back to them, so if you need a controller in a hurry it's not your best bet..

                                Yup, just got 4 years of GCU for $6.34. They only had two left or I would have stacked more.
