Just a quick heads-up.
The "Buy 2 Platinum Hits, Get 1 Additional FREE" offer going on this week at CC can be a GREAT way to redeem any MSN Holiday Rewards credit you might have.
Basically, you'd need to do this:
Order a Gift Card for however much value you want.
Shipping is free, altho tax is charged, of course.
Shipping takes 3-7 days, and the "Platinum Hits" deal will most likely be over before your gift card arrives.
So you'll need to go buy the games NOW.
Then...DO NOT OPEN THEM!
When the gift card arrives, you'll need to go back to CC, and have them apply the gift card to your previous purchase.
They will then refund the gift card amount back to you.
WHAMMO! Super-deal!
Here's how I plan to play it t with my $19.19 in MSN credit:
1.) Order $19 gift card...with tax it'll prolly be right at $19.19
2.) The card will take 3-7 days to arrive.
3.) Go and buy the 2 Platinum Hits titles in-store NOW
4.) LEAVE THE NEW GAMES UNOPENED
5.) When the card arrives, take it, the games, and my receipt in.
6.) Have them apply the gift card to the previous purchase and refund my credit card.
Not bad to get 3 Platinum titles at 66% off!
BTW: Of course, YMMV
BTW2: If it doesn't work, since you haven't opened the games yet, you could always return them.
BTW3: If anyone has first-hand knowledge of any reason this deal wouldn't work...PLEASE let me know ASAP! Thanks!
BTW4: Good luck!
