OK, so some clarity on this deal.
tl;dr bad deal and not worth it.
I have redeemed and used it already, so here was my experience:

You pay the amount, in my case the $36 for the $60 "arcade card". An arcade card is different than a gift card as people have implied.

You then get emailed a PDF for redemption instructions. In short, you have to use the link in the pdf, then enter your name and email address (which I assume has to match your order) and the redemption code. You will then get a second email that has a link to the actual QR codes that you will use. They will not be enclosed in the email, you have to go to a site again via the second email. Again you have to enter your email address at this site.

Each QR code is worth $20. However they restrict it so you have to get $20 worth of chips and cannot combine the monetary value for a higher package nor can you pay the difference. At my location that is 100 chips for the $20. So for example, you want to get the $100 package for more chips per dollar. They will not let you do that. It MUST be $20 each in separate transactions. You can use all three on one card on the same day, but you are locked into buying $20 packages. So, since you pay $36 for 300 chips (again this amount may vary by location) it is 12 cents per chip. Also, this cannot be applied to food, drink, or non-arcade activities like pool or shuffle board. If you are a rewards member, you can get more for your money just in the app. Totally not worth the trouble and very restrictive. Thumbs down on the deal.

Also, for those asking, you cannot redeem anything like this, coupons, etc. on Wednesdays because games are half off, but they cannot stop you from redeeming it any other day, and you just come back on a Wednesday. Chips (their nomenclature for money or credits) do not have different value nor are they changed at any time.

T-Mobile runs these promotions for D&B all the time using this website. I've done it three or four times. Legit and delivers within minutes.

Can this be used on half price Wednesdays? I had issues redeeming those $20 cards for $12 deals on Wednesdays.

EDIT : Not valid with any other offers, including Half Price Games Wednesdays or any Half Price Game promotion.

I'm regretting my purchase of $60. It seems like it might be a pain in the butt to redeem:

> Promotional Value Expires 10/31/2024. Receive $60 in Free Game Play. Barcode coupon is required for redemption at the front desk. You will be sent a unique barcode per each $20 Arcade Card purchase. Each barcode may only be scanned once. Only one offer per guest, per day, may be redeemed.

So I received 3 x $20 cards that need to be scanned (can't be added to the app). If you can only do one a day that means I need to go 3 times before 10/31?! That's not going to happen.

Have the games improved at all since ~2018? The last time I went it was eye-opening how bad the games were.

Every restaurant is different. You have to go and check.

Previously bought $12 for $20 credit; and what I did was went in store to redeem on a Sunday to add to existing DB card, and went on a Wednesday to use the same DB card with the filled credits.

I've used this twice in August. Chips are the gaming currency for D&B. It's a good deal. In Florida I purchase D&B gift cards at Costco $100 for $79 which makes these deals even slicker.

After checkout via the website you get a QR code which you bring to the front desk.
Are these the same thing as sold at costco, DandB gift cards? The way this is written up it sounds like this is something else. For example, gift cards could also be used for food and do not expire just 2 months later.

Yes that works. I just hate having to go there twice. This is treated as a coupon, not a gift card. So they won't take it on Wednesday. I find it easier to buy the gift card from Costco for $80 and buy the $110 supercharged chips.

Yes I'm talking about Florida Costco locations. They offer two $50 gift cards for $79.99. I used them and purchased multiple deals like this deal listed.

Btw for those interested in redemption process. Take the screen shots of the QR code to the front desk. They scanned all three of mine at once and added them to my physical card.

Yeah, I buy the ones at Costco too here in the Seattle area, but the description of these sound strange like they are not normal gift cards.

Question: I believe D&B has pool tables. Will these work for that or do I need to get arcade card? Sorry not familiar with them
