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.

How long does it takes to get the $5 email/added to your BB account, when I signed up, saw a note stating it will be in within 24 hours? I didn't get any yet after 24 hours too.

Steps done:

- Create new BB account
- Signed up for new BB gamer account
- Got 24 hours notification when signup to gamer profile completed

I stopped my membership when they stopped including the Game Informer printed magazine. I'm old school and really enjoyed printed gaming magazines....
They just recently brought it back.

I'm presuming that Best Buy have already ran out of $5 discount certificates by now.

Anyone know if there is a way to apply two of these promotional certificates to a single purchase? I have two and it's easier to find one item for $10+ than two items for $5+.

They are tied to your account
So two separate orders

Thanks, that's what I figured but was hoping someone on SD had a workaround to be able to use two certificates on one order. 🤔
