Everybody charged so far at best buy I assume is talking about orders they have set to ship and not pick up in store orders right?
All of mine is pick up in store with no changes.

I see that gamestop has an additional 60% offee on trades going toward switch games.
Could I trade toward games, then a month later switch the credit toward the switch console and keep the 60% or would it drop off?

Got charged for my Switch finally, now to wait until Friday. (I also may trade in a couple things in order to get Zelda on day 1, if only because previews make downloading it day 1 seem less preferable than just playing it)

Are we expecting Gamestop to have any Pro Controllers available to purchase on launch day? I've got my system preordered, but am considering lining up if I can snag a Pro.
Awoke to a text from my credit card company asking to confirm I made purchase at Best Buy, I respond with a 1 for Yes and says "Thanks. Your transaction was not completed.".
.....
I rushed downstairs and the order status page was asking for updated cc info. I put in the same card and it updated the order and now says Preparing.

Same thing for me, and I was advised to try a return/repurchase in-store once I get it to apply the gift card.

Gotta trade a bunch of older systems and games today to pay for at least half of preorder at gamestop.
Only a few more days left.

My Zelda amiibo orders had failed authentication yesterday, but it went through today without issue (or notifying me there was an issue). No idea why it did that, but it seems to have resolved itself.
My Switch charge didn't have this and charged my card fine today.

Yep.
first post in this thread, but I've been dying until Friday comes. What's scary to me is that I ordered the Switch and stuff through best buy, so I don't know when the package will come. The problem is that at my college, the post office closes at 5 pm every weekday, and it's closed on the weekends

Sign up with UPS or whichever carrier it winds up being shipped with to redirect package to shipping center for pick up. Results in a one day delay sometimes, but, you can get it yourself. Sign up with all (free, I think) to avoid wondering which to sign up for.

I called Best Buy support again about my failed authorization and everything is still fine on their end, but according to this thread on Reddit, quite a few people with failed authorization got their order's cancelled

Oh yeah mine is for in-store pickup.

They charged your card, haven't begun preparing. One of my Switch related orders has the same situation. All of my other orders including a second Switch have been charged and moved to preparing. They'll ship when possible/allowed.
Makes me hope they ship Monday, or Tues and arrive anywhere between Tues and Friday.
I mean the 2nd Switch status seems to be the same as last week, but the 1st one has at least been charged/moved to preparing.

So the falcons Switch is still awaiting authorization??
Same with my copy of Zelda.
Yep, they're both on my BB credit card too, so I know the card is ok.
I've got a pre-order hold on Zelda at Gamestop, so I'm not concerned too much, but I pre-ordered Horizon and Zelda at Best Buy with the Visa Checkout promo. If my card doesn't authorize (long story, but it's gonna be close to the limit on 3/1) do they cancel my order or give me an option to change payment/pay in store?
No, they will just cancel it and say too bad. I'm on hold right now with support trying to get them to reinstate my preorder they canceled on me and their support is the worst. They have no options to help you and won't let you talk to anyone that might be able to help you out. I've been trying to get them to transfer me to a supervisor and they just tell me they are busy and can't talk to me.
EDIT: never mind! Saw you said Zelda!!

Similar situation here. My Master Edition failed authentication yesterday at GS, but my two Switches didn't fail today at Best Buy and they've been changed to Preparing.
I really hope GameStop ships in time for me to get Zelda on day one. Otherwise I'll watch in agony as everyone plays Zelda and I just have Snipperclips, Shovel Knight and Fast RMX to keep me busy.

Odd. It'll be fine though. I have one Switch accessory order in the same situation. Not worried.
Cool, I was a bit worried they'd be enforcing some 1 per customer limit last minute.
...this thread caused me to check my Best Buy order online (in store pickup).
What BS.
Failed authorization with no option to retry, but still in the preorder status. Called up and they couldn't explain why I wasn't notified or why it failed. She didn't seem to be the most polished rep and suggested twice that my order was cancelled when the status is "Preordered".
Gave a new CC (not sure why first one failed) and status looks fine online. Let's hope it lasts the week.
Ugh.

If it is preparing status, might be too late. Would need to call CS.

I have two Switch preorders for the system. One coming to me, and one I changed shipping address to a few days back for another GAF member across the country for me. Both are preparing, so I don't think that's a thing to worry about either.
