    Re: The Official Best Buy Gamers Club Thread

    The thing is there was no card she just rang it up on the register. so is there an actual activation number on the card that she is supposed to use?

      It took about 5 minutes to get the email after I paid for it. You might have to go back to the store and make sure they did it right.

              Do you have your receipt?
              I had to order my card, and it came yesterday. Last night I went in to activate it. The cashier at customer service scanned it and said it was already activated. I was like well it said I have to come in. He kept scanning and I mentioned a sticker on it and he pulled it off and was like oh I have to scan that. It wasn't reading and 5 minutes later he took my number so "my best buy" account was in. He scanned it and then it worked. When I got home I put MLB 15 in the cart and it came up 47.00, but it didn't double the points so I don't know if it's supposed to show up or it does it later. I haven't got the welcome email yet, or the buy 2 get the 3rd pre owned game free email either. I read it could take 24 hours to activate though. Log into your " mybestbuy" account and click on view all rewards. It should say gamers club unlocked and the date you got it. If not go back to the store and walk them through it.

                There is no card needed. It just has to be purchased under your my best buy account. The membership is tied to your account. When I bought it a year ago they just rung it up at the register without a card.
                It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.

                  I know there were a few issues with it around the holidays.

                  The first issue was they had GCU gift cards in addition to the regular ones. If you had a gift card, you had to scratch off another number for them to scan. I had that issue when I stacked them.

                  And then when they scanned it, it sometimes said it had already been activated. You had to have them scan it multiple times for it to finally take. I had that issue as well.

                      It took me a month back and forth with best buy for them to get mine activated. To get it to work for me they ended up happening to give me a refund on the gamers club and signing me up again. It worked after that.

                          FYI..You do indeed get the "welcoming" coupons for every GCU membership you buy. I didn't get them when I bought my most recent to stack on, but after talking with one of the mods in the BB forums he just sent me the b2g1 free used, 50% off strategy guide, and a $5.00 off one good for any game

                            Be aware i am pretty sure if you pre ordered a game at the store before you became a BBGC Unlocked, you will need to pre order the game again at the time you pick it up to get the discount. Make sure you get the pre-order bonuses.

                                @All Best Buy'ers -

                                Got a question my brethren...

                                So I saw this deal for WWE 2K15...you get the Season Pass for Free now (Limited Time Offer)...And now since Walmart has WWE 2K15 at $39.99, I will have them price match it. So basically, I could get WWE 2K15 for basically $15!

                                Was wondering...How will Best Buy provide me the downloadable content? Via email or what? Do I need to make sure to provide my email to them upon checkout?

                                Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks fellas!
