Seems to fail silently if your chosen name is taken. If you refresh the page and still have a sign-up button, try a different name. You can change your name later and it will correctly show an error if you try to change to a taken name.

Community Reviews

Best Buy's Gamers profile signup is a quick way to get a $5 promotional certificate for eligible purchases, and the reward often arrives within minutes to a day, though some accounts see longer delays. The certificate has a short expiration window and can be used on a wide range of Best Buy items, including game-related purchases, chargers, trading cards, and other low-cost accessories. Some signups loop or fail when a chosen name is already taken, and certain items or gift cards do not accept the certificate at checkout. It works best when the cart total clears the minimum before tax.

what is everyone using their $5 for
I wound up getting Dragon Quest III HD-2D for $20 ($15 on sale + $5 off with the reward certificate). I guess I'm a sucker but I want another RPG on my backlog that I'll never play.

I would have gotten Collection of Mana since it's on sale for $10 now, but it's OOS.

I saw that it will come in 24hours buy how long did actually it take for everyone to get $5 rewards?

Update: got the reward on 10/21 morning - expires 11/20
yep, expires a month after receipt... may want to wait for 7 days to fill it out (less than 30 days until black friday)

Is there a way to apply 2 of these promotional certificates to a single purchase? I'm thinking no because the certificates are associated with different member ID numbers.

I'm annoyed they continue to not lower the physical ciopy cost of ocarina of time when amazon and walmart for weeks and weeks have had it $10 less than them.

Also, maybe I should wait before doing this since it expires in 1 month. Might as well make it last through black friday.

Be careful: "limited to the first 200,000 signups"
