Sign in to your My Best Buy account. To see the current exclusive offers, visit the Gamers Club page and go to the FEATURED OFFERS section. Gamers Club exclusive offers are only available online, unless otherwise stated. To receive offer benefits, make sure that your My Best Buy account is added to the transaction before it is completed.

Make sure that your My Best Buy account is added to the transaction in store or you are signed into your My Best Buy account online before your order is completed to get the 20% discount. Exclusions may apply. Valid on in-stock items only. No rainchecks. No dealers.

Yes, members are limited to 3 copies of each video game title (excludes pre-owned video games and digital gaming) per platform, per year, per member.

Collector's Editions and Limited Editions would count toward your limit for that title. However, Game of the Year Editions, usually released with additional content much later than the original version, do not count toward the original game title's limit but would count as a separate game title and limit.

No, a free game does not count toward your limit for that title. Only qualifying games purchased using your 20% discount count toward your limit of 3.

No, a digital copy included in a bundle does not count toward your limit for that title. Only qualifying games purchased using your 20% discount count toward your limit of 3.

No, it applies to all new physical video games, regardless of platform and includes PC games (excludes pre-owned video games and digital gaming). Limit of 3 for each title per platform, per year, per member.

Yes, My Best Buy offers stack on top of your 20% discount. For example, if you are eligible for reward certificates or a discount as part of a My Best Buy promotion, you will get your 20% discount plus the other offer's reward certificates or discount. Here's an example:

You pre-order a video game as part of a My Best Buy promotion which offers 500 My Best Buy points worth $10 in reward certificates for pre-ordering that title in store. You then become a Gamers Club Unlocked member before you pick up and purchase the video game at the store. You get both the My Best Buy points and the 20% discount. If it's a $60 game, you get $22 worth of benefits in one transaction.

This will depend on whether you placed your pre-orders in store or through BestBuy.com.

In Store: If you pre-ordered in store, you will receive the 20% discount as long as you are an active Gamers Club Unlocked member when you pick up and purchase your pre-order. You will need to make sure that your My Best Buy account is added to the transaction before you complete your purchase.

_BestBuy.com: _If you pre-ordered on BestBuy.com for either store pickup or shipping, we are not able to add the 20% discount to your existing order. To get the 20% discount, you will either need to cancel and repurchase your pre-order or to return and repurchase the game once you receive it. To receive the 20% discount going forward, you will need to make sure that you are signed in to your BestBuy.com account when you place an order and have your My Best Buy account linked to your BestBuy.com account.

No, you get the 20% discount immediately when you purchase your new games. Other promotions may deliver benefits on the back end, but not your 20% discount.

No, you would receive either the price match or the 20% discount, whichever is the lowest price. You would not be able to get both.

Best Buy takes the discounted My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked price into account prior to a price match request. For example, if Best Buy sells a new game for $59.99, a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member will be able to buy it for $47.99 plus tax. $47.99 is the price we would compare for price match purposes. If a competitor sells the game for $49.99, there would not be a need for a price match as the Best Buy price is lower. If a competitor sells a game for $44.99, we would match that price and sell a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member the game for $44.99 plus tax with no additional discount. If Best Buy lowers our price during the return and exchange period on a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked purchase, we will, upon request, apply the 20% discount on the new lower price. For example, if a Gamers Club Unlocked member paid $47.99 for a new game priced at $59.99 and Best Buy lowers the price to $49.99 during the return and exchange period, we will, upon request, price match the new price with the 20% discount and sell the My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member the game for $39.99 plus tax.

No, the 20% discount cannot be combined with promotions advertised in Best Buy's Thanksgiving Day physical ad or expanded digital ad. Any early access offers to those promotions are also excluded from combining with the 20% discount.

When you trade in your games, make sure that your My Best Buy account is added to the transaction before it is completed in order to receive 2x My Best Buy points (2 times your My Best Buy program tier point) for every dollar in Best Buy gift card value on video game trade ins. Please see the Best Buy Trade-In Terms for qualifying products and details. You must be 18 or older. Not valid in Puerto Rico.

When you trade in your games, tell the Customer Specialist that you are a Gamers Club Unlocked member. Make sure that your My Best Buy account is added to the transaction before it is completed in order to receive the 10% bonus trade-in credit. Please see the Best Buy Trade-In Terms for qualifying products and details. You must be 18 or older. Not valid in Puerto Rico.

Yes, it does. You will get your 10% trade-in bonus in addition to any other trade-in offers you are eligible to receive. The 10% bonus is calculated from the base value of the video game. Any promotional bonus offers are also calculated from the base value of the game. Here's an example:

A game has a $20 trade-in value, and the trade-in promotion offers a 50% trade-in bonus on all games. You get a $10 bonus for the trade-in promotion ($20 x 50% = $10) plus a $2 bonus ($20 x 10% = $2) for the Gamers Club Unlocked trade-in bonus. You get $32 worth of benefits in one transaction.
