JTello Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Well, I'd be interested in picking up 007: Everything or Nothing. Has anyone done this before,.... pricematched $19.99 at Bestbuy (using Circuit City's ad), and then used the gamer giftcard coupon to save $5.00? Will they let you use a coupon if they've price matched? I'd like to pick this game up for $14.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hmm, Bond for $20, I might have to get that. I rented it and enjoyed it, but felt people gave it too much credit for a $50 pricepoint. For $20 though, the game is a must buy. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 You might be able to get CC to match the $5 coupon on the GGC if you have one in hand. Otherwise, worth a shot at best buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I've had better luck with pricematching the coupon at CC. Heck, one time the guy even gave me the coupon back after I was done using it. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 That's sounds good except for one thing, then you end up spending a little extra and leaving on the Bestbuy giftcard till another day?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I can always find a use for the Giftcard. How would I be spending more though? Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Well, I didn't mean that you were spending more for the game, but rather you would be putting more money down at the time of purchase, (basically in order to get the $5.00 coupon to use at CircuitCity you would have to put some amont of money on the Gamergiftcard), and it would be locked up until you decided to then go purchase a game at Bestbuy. Sorry for the confusion. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I usually put a penny on the gift card. There is no minimum after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Effectively knocks the game down to $30. As for PMing and using a GGC, most BB's won't let you do it since the coupon says "not valid with other offers". If you can convince them, they'll have to ring you up on a yellow reciept at customer service. Circuit City's policy is to accept competitor coupons so it should be easier there. As for putting 1 cent on the coupons, if you make it so obvious that you're blatantly abusing their promotion, it's likely to be yanked. Be respectable and put a 5 or 10 spot down.

The Daisy Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Oh, I understand now. Yeah, it does stink to have to lock up $5 bucks on the gamer gift card, but I know I'm going to spend that $5 eventually... it's just a matter of when. Half the time, I just put $15.81 on the card, as that's the amount of a $14.99 game here after tax. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 In the Best Buy & Gamepro "Top Games of 2004!" book (Ray Lewis on the cover), the last page has a "$5 off any Live game" coupon. I picked up NBA2K5 at BB for $10.49. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Oooh. Now that's a good call. I'll have to go pick up ESPN NBA at that price. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsappel Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yeah, it's free, just a collection of GamePro previews and coupons. I've also used the coupon to get Outlaw Volleyball for $5. The cashier might have to talk to a manager first, since selling the games for so cheap frightens their feelings of job security, but it's perfectly legit. The mag is getting a little scarce, but I always find one mixed in among the strategy guides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howiedo1n Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 So can you get Mortal Kombat Deception (at Target) - $49.99 w/ $10 Gift Card and still use the $10 off coupon? Making the game $29.99. If I missed something and can get a better deal somewhere else please fill me in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 My experience with target gift cards is you cannot use them for that purchase. As for the coupon the only one I know of was posted earlier in this thread. As for putting 1 cent on the coupons, if you make it so obvious that you're blatantly abusing their promotion, it's likely to be yanked. Be respectable and put a 5 or 10 spot down. Well I would normally, but a Best Buy manager told me to do it that way. Besides, I now have a small stack of 1 cent gift cards for the white elephant Xmas party my friends have every year.
