Not working
My Best Buy order got cancelled
I just read about 50 comments that all say it’s not working.
But I am still unsure, can someone do a drop of chazara. Is the friggin thing working?
@Worked for me:
why did they cancel>
I am getting same message. “Sorry, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again laterâ€
Any advice?
Just worked for me!! I tried doing it in an Incognito browser. Might have helped, or might have been luck, but this guy is not caring b/c it worked!
how can a major company like visa not have computer power to handle the load. you never see them declining cards cause they cant handle the load, this is bs
just got it, took 3 tries.
tried for a while, and it just worked.
just worked
It went through for me on the first try.
just got the code.applied about 5 min ago. 11,40 am eastern
Worked………..
@insider: just worked
Still not working for me
What’s worthwhile to purchase for $20 @ Best Buy?
gotit on 1 out of 3 accounts. ordered a gc and they sent me an email saying order canceled bec they cant confirm info, what does that mean?
Still not working, times out after I hid the coupon button. I’ve logged in like 10 times
Not working
@all after about 2 hours and 75 tries both internet explorer and google chrome i have successfully got through to visa and now waiting for code to be delivered to my email.
Good luck to all
Just worked after timing out 5 times.
It took me about 30 tries (which may more may not be working), I got to the last 4 digits/zip code window 4 times, finally i got through to the card and they said they’d email it to me. I
f you have nothing better to do, I’d say keep tring
Last week they said they would email the NFL code and they never did. I sent them an email asking what went wrong and only got a canned reply followed by nothing. Visa Checkout stinks.
@Mark:
i ended up getting the nfl code a few days later with an apology. it worked
I got my code emailed after 20 minutes as promised. now lets see if it works on bestbuy or will it give me the same issue I had last week with nflshop.
Plus if I plan on getting a gift card as I know I will be guaranteed it will work on black Friday or past the expiration of this code.
Keep getting this message:
The Visa Checkout service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
Just ordered myself a $20 bestbuy gift card with no expiration. Hope they have some good deals on blackfriady :). Should receive by 11/11
@Freebie:
did that twice, both times got an email a few min later sayinf=g order was canceled
dead
Several hours and still no dice for my gurlz and I.
@sam:
based on what?
I kept on trying and I was successful. I received an email in the spot for the promo code. Thanks @dan
Sorry — we are experiencing some technical difficulties right now — please check back later today for more Game Day Deals!
Just did it at 2:20 and got a code immediately. No issues.
Be patient. I waited on the NFL offer last week and they finally came through on Monday and got the deal for $25 in NFL shop for $28 in items.
@m65: So did I, but I called them and they placed the order for me. Now I am holding my breath I don’t get a third cancelation. As I write I got my third cancelation. Not sure what to do now
Officially DEAD.
Check back next week for new offers.
I’m confused.. Do I just click on the link and the offer comes up, or do i need to go to the Best Buy website?
It’s working smoothly now. Got codes on 2 accts. within a minute.
@T: continue to Best Buy.
It just worked smoothly for me.
Working now.
Well, it was working, website down now.
It’s not working at the moment
@chana k:
Why is Best Buy not showing? I checked all the store categories and don’t see any way to get to the Best Buy website from Visa,
ordered gift cards with the various $20 codes and they were all cancelled.
@T:
Same for me…I signed up for Visa Checkout, my pop-up blocker didn’t notify me of any attempts to pop something up, and I can’t even find Best Buy on Visa Checkout’s site.
has anyone successfully made an order from best buy using the codes?
dead
Not only was the orders cancelled from Best Buy, the original link in the email for the code does not work anymore.
It brings up a page just saying “null”
Looks like the GameDay Deals site is taking longer than usual to load. Thank you for your patience — please check back later.Visa Checkout – The easier way to pay online.
Worked on the second try. “Thanks! Once we confirm your eligibility you should get your savings code in about 4 business days.”
It’s dead already!!! I just tried on my phone. Will try again from my laptop.
“Looks like the GameDay Deals site is taking longer than usual to load. Thank you for your patience — please check back later.””
believe it worked; thanks Dan!
its not working
I signed up, then when I clicked on ‘get code’, it sent me back to the original page with a pop up that said ‘Looks like the GameDay Deals site is taking longer than usual to load. Thank you for your patience — please check back later.’ I know I was registered because I got a visa checkout confirmation email, but no mention of the code. Plus, the email has an option to sign up for future emails, which I thought I’d already agreed to.
Should I do that again?
It’s disgusting what visa is doing. They only give it to just one or 2 people those who are on their computer. Since most people are on a phone, visa intentionally makes their website work slow on phones. By the time you make a visa acount or have time to login the deal is dead!
Dead Again.
‘Looks like the GameDay Deals site is taking longer than usual to load. Thank you for your patience — please check back later.’
It says: “Thanks! Once we confirm your eligibility you should get your savings code in about 4 business days.”
It worked now
Just worked for me!
I agree get started button doesn’t work
Just worked….
Just got through. Only took about an hour of trying…Visa Checkout has lost some credibility with me the last two weeks.
What’s the point of posting this when its clearly not working?
Thanks! Looks like its working, i just got this message – Thanks! Once we confirm your eligibility you should get your savings code in about 4 business days.
Thanks once we will confirm youre account we will send u an email to the email associate with your account
Tnx dan
When I click continue to go to the $20 bestbuy gift card, it takes me back to the first page
can you get this even you got it last week?
VISA tries to give something for free, and everybody complains about it! It worked fine on my iPad! Thanks, Dan!
Got it! Thanks Dan
Just worked for me
@max finkel same here keeps sending me in a loop
Looks like you already received a promo code. It takes about 4 business days to receive your code, so if it’s been longer than that, please contact
Referring to last week’s deal where the codes didnt end up working… Great
took me 5 tries.
Finally got it to work in incognito after a bunch of tries
I keep getting same message as last week. Sorry, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later. anybody getting that?
@Hi!:
yup. over and over again. different browsers, different computers, etc…..
worked for me on all 3 cards
Just got it! After trying many times…
Got it on first try. Thanks dan.

Dead again- today’s promo has ended
rabbi dan any info y it uwas going bad today to help in future.
Today’s Visa Checkout Gameday Deal for Bestbuy.com has ended. If you signed up for today’s BestBuy promotion, an email with your savings code will be delivered to your Visa Checkout email within four business days. You can still use Visa Checkout to shop at BestBuy.com at anytime. Thank you for shopping with Visa Checkout.
It’s ironic that the HT is to Technical Difficulties.
Sorry, due to high demand this week’s deal has run out, but you can still use Visa Checkout to shop at BestBuy.com anytime.
The same thing happened this week as last week. I put the order in for a $20 gc and then 10 minutes later got an email that the order was cancelled. Got the exact same shpiel, “unfortunately, we were unable to verify your information so we cancelled the item from your order”. Was anybody able to successfully order the gc without it being cancelled?
did anyone get the email yet for the 2cnd round of the promotion?
@jay – just got it today
@jay got it today
@slomichael: I received it, When i tried to use it on BB they said they “How exciting to be shopping with Best Buy today! Unfortunately, Visa Checkout has been disabled from our site due to technical issues. There is no estimate time frame as to when it will be fixed, I do apologize for the inconvenience. Other payment methods are still fully available!” “The promotional code does not appear to be working with our site since the link has been disabled from our checkout. I would highly recommend calling into our customer service line at 1-888-237-8289 and a phone agent can try to process the order for you with the promotional code since the Visa Checkout link was disabled today.”
