Do pre-orders count towards myVIP if they are part of a mission

adam457 · Jan 9, 2017

At the moment there is a mission where you can pre-order certain games and get rewarded but do the games also count towards MyVIP Rank.

iknow if you purchases a pre-order it does not as it says in the F&Q but does it if its part of a mission.

few questions about MyVIP rewards and My Missions with Movies & TV content

(1) I was looking at the FAQ for what counts toward MyVIP rewards, it made specific mention that game pre-orders didn't count toward MyVIP but made no explicit mention of movie pre-orders count or not count toward MyVIP. rewards. So I was
curious about this myself. Do movie pre-orders count toward MyVIP offers?

(2) If "no" to the above questions, how would something like the John Wick Double Feature would count toward MyVIP rewards? Currently it is $24.99 for both movies, the first movie and the pre-order to Chapter 2 in one. Does something like
that count as an exception since it's a bundle?

(3) Also, with regards to MyMissions, I was curious about some of the movies on the Rebel Rewards mission. I see in this month's missions that movies like John Wick count toward the Rebel Rewards mission, as does Mad Max: Fury Road. Question
about eligible content - Would purchasing John Wick Double Feature count toward the Rebel Rewards Mission? Or with regard to the eligibility to Mad Max: Fury Road, I see both Mad Max: Fury Road for $12.99 by itself, or both Mad Max: Fury Road / Mad Max: Fury
Road (Black & Chrome Edition, the higher contrast black/white version of the movie), they're both essentially the same movie bundled together for same price - would buying something like that count toward the fulfillment of the Rebel Rewards mission with regard
to Movies & TV content?

Rewards is a joke

Pre-orders constantly count toward their own promotions. If they permitted pre-orders as part of MyVip people could abuse that and purchase/cancel items which would just cause a whole new set of issues.

If you don't like that pre-orders don't qualify (which is fair), the simple solution is to wait until it launches and it will qualify.

Preorders do not count towards VIP at all. so it doesn't matter if they're part of a mission or not.

Hi NNINJA STRIKE. Smwutches is correct. Pre-Orders do not count towards MyVIP.

In order to earn rebates on purchase through MyVip you have to first earn your initial star. In USA it requires spending $300. Once you do that, you receive the first star and start receiving 1%/2% back on purchases.

Unfortunately there is no list on which purchases you make are for MyVip, essentially you will want to review the FAQ and remember that pre-orders, in-game consumables, subscriptions, and items that qualify for other promotions do not count
toward MyVip. If a game/tv show/movie is already released (non pre-order) AND it is not part of an active promotion then it would count toward MyVip progress/rebate.

No. Preorders are not eligible for VIP.

I'm trying to understand why pre-orders are not eligible for vip. Is it because otherwise you would get rewarded twice, e.g. once for the vip star boost and once for the on demand pre-order punch card?

The fact that it's not eligible for the star boost is a real downer for me. I would like to pre-order Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition in order to play the Halo Wars Definitive Edition straight away.

It's not possible to get credit for a game twice anyway. So even if preorders were eligible for VIP, you would only get credit for one offer and not the other. It's essentially because it's just part of the terms and conditions. I do believe it actually
has to do with the fact that it's now easier to cancel pre-orders. So anyone could preorder a game, get the credit, then call and cancel the preorder.
