1. The regular price is $99.99 for 2 years, Sometimes they have deals where it's been $60 and even as low as $30 for 2 years. Definitely keep a look out for the sale, which if it goes that low I'm sure someone will post it here.

2. Yes you can buy an xbox1 with saved points, you can set how often you want your reward certificates to be issued, you can get them at $5-$10-$20-$50-$100-$250-$500. You also get 2x points on new video game software, digital content and game accessories

If you spend over $1,500 in a year your considered an Elite member & you get an option to bank points and you can redeem them into certificates as you need them.

3. Here is a link with the benefits:

For me the biggest benefit is the 20% off games, so a new $60 game costs you $48

you have to be an Elite or Elite Plus member to be able to bank your points over $20. That's the highest I can set my Reward certificate too.

What are you guys talking about with points?

You get points when you purchase, trade in games.

You don't need to be a GCU member. You just need to have a free myBestBuy account.

Those points are saved and can be totaled into certificates.

I believe it's 250 points for every $5.

The points are equal to a dollar, unless this has changed. So a $60 purchase will net you 60 points. A $30 trade in gets you 30 points.

IF you can snag this for $30, even the $60 price, it's a no brainer.

And with GCU those points are doubled for trade ins and video game purchases.

I use BB exclusively now, except for if Amazon has a great deal once in a while.

I'll preorder online and they'll ship to store so I can pick it up on release day. I don't know if BB guarantees release day shipment, so prefer to pick it up.

Pays for itself in the 20% off new games, plus added value on trade ins.

Since I got the platinum on The Order: 1886, I may trade it in at Best Buy. Game was great. How much would I get back for it?
