Best Buy IdeaX

[#1]

There`s already an existing "sticky" thread for $10 pre-order games in the "Gamer`s Club" section so can we add another one for the games that receive instant $10(or more) giftcards too. Even for someone who keeps track of alot of BB promos the instant giftcard offers can easily fall through the cracks. Promos like these play a huge part on where a game is purchased & if it`s purchased on day 1 or later during a sale or via competitor price match. I`m sure BB doesn`t wanna work hard to get these great offers added then still lose out on potential sales because customers simply weren`t aware they were being offered. http://www.forums.bestbuy.com/t5/My-Best-Buy-Gamers-Club/bd-p/gamersclub

Small, simple & cheap request.

I think what they do is fine.  Personally, why make it easier for the company to make less money.

@Bobbi, as hard as they work to secure these promos you think it`s wise for them NOT to then advertise correctly? They lose money if another retailer offers a weaker deal or no deal at all and the customer either buys elsewhere or waits for the game to drop in price. Release week sales are generally the highest as only a select few titles have Mario or COD "legs" too many games release. If BB is able to offer a deal that nets just 3% extra of the total first that can be huge. Plus with GC/GCU 2x pts, 20% discount that can means more pts in 2 weeks leading to more sales. If they were better at converting that 2 week cycle it`ll do wonders in the big picture.
