      Yeah no discount, guess I'll have to call customer service.

        But you have to go in store to activate them, this is from Bestbuy.com


        Membership Activation Card

        can be purchased online and can be sent to your home or is available for pick up at your local Best Buy store

        Purchasing this card does not enroll one into the program. The redemption barcode must be redeemed in-store to sign up for Gamers Club Unlocked and begin receiving the program benefits.

        This redemption card also allows purchasers to gift the card to someone else.

        The gift recipient would just need to go into any Best Buy store to redeem the membership and must be a My Best Buy member or sign up for a free My Best Buy membership prior to adding the Unlocked membership to their account.

          were you a My Best buy member before you bought this? You have to sign up for that before you can get GCU. My best buy is free

          Plus, you can just buy it for someone else, did you tell them to activate it to your account? Just tryin to think why it didn't show

              I had a date next to mine, but now that I've added another two years, there's no end date. It just says "Gamers Club Unlocked" with the club benefits link next to it. I'll give it a few days before I contact BB to make sure it went through OK.

                          Serious question, should/could we have a separate thread for the BB GCU stuff since it seems to be so frequent?

                            As of a few weeks ago they removed that. They said due to the holiday traffic on website they removed the exp date... WHatever that has to do with anything.
                            Last I looked it's still gone. Haven't checked for a few days though

                            Easiest way to check is go online and log in then add a game to cart. It will show your discount if it's set up.
                            Just be warned (And supposedly they are aware of the issue) that in store sometimes the discount doesn't show up. Watch it and if it doesn't just tell them to re-ring it up until it does.
                            One transaction it took 3 tried before is showed up. I even showed them (on my phone) where online shows I had GCU and gave the discount.

                              Not sure if that's consistent for everybody, because it shows up just fine for me...





                              I didn't memorize those directions by heart, I had to navigate to find it.

                              Oh, and that number is going to skyrocket about $1000 in two weeks haha.
