Credit to CAG and Slick Deals. Best Buy has a deal for Gamers Club Unlocked 2 year membership for FREE with purchase and activation of any cell phone. Regular price is $99 for GCU. It is in this week's ad. However, fine print says prepaid phones do not need to be activated. They have the AT&T Z222 and LG TracFone (I bought this one) for $14.99 each...I just did it and it works without a hitch and doesn't need a manager override.
Here is how I did it.
1. I had them scan my Free Best Buy rewards zone membership card first..or you can give them your phone number and have them look it up. A good cashier will ask if you are a MyBestBuy/Rewards Zone Member before they even scan your goods. ..
2. Then scanned the Gamers Unlocked Card I found on an endcap in the gaming section (it will ring up $99, but relax)
3. I had them scan the phone 3rd, and the $99 charge for Gamers Unlocked dropped to $0.00...
$16 and some change out the door without a hitch...you can just throw out the phone....
This WILL extend your current GCU Membership. Mine was going to expire in February 2016, it now expires February 2018. You do not need to buy minutes with the phone. They will "activate/scan" the phone when you buy it, but you do not need to buy any extra minutes to make the phone work. The "scan/activation" is needed so you can add minutes to the phone if you want to in the future. This is so people cannot steal them and buy minutes for them somewhere else. My phone even says "You must scan this phone at the register to activate it"
Here is a link to all the Best Buy Games that will net you a $10 rewards certificate for preordering. You can preorder online and have it shipped, preorder online and pick up in store, or preorder in store and pick up in store. You will be emailed the rewards certificate in about 3 weeks after you get the game.
Games with the $10 Preorder Rewards Certificate (this makes the game approx. $38 with the GCU Discount), at the moment, include:
Ass Creed Unity
Batman: Arkham Knight
Battlefield Hardline
Dying Light
The Elder Scrolls Online
Evolve
Far Cry 4
Grand Theft Auto 4 Remaster
Halo 5 Guardians
Halo Master Chief Collection
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I went to get the LG phone and it was sold out at almost all Best Buys. I found one at a different store so I ordered it online and when I got there they wouldn't price match it because it was ordered online so I bought this net 10 wireless activation kit (I have no idea what it even is) and it worked. $6.99 no price match no hassle. I got 2 and am good for 4 years now. Thanks Best Buy.
If you are buying the NET 10 Wireless Activation, follow the steps below! Thanks to paulgandersman
-Enter your rewards phone number first, make sure they pull up the account you want to use.
-Scan GCU cards
-Scan net10cards (employee will have to select and "activation plan" for each, all are $0.00)
-All GCU cards should now be $0.00
-check out!
Also, does anyone know if best buy will match target's buy 2 get 1 sale next week? And if so can you use GCU with it?
