Diablo III...blah, blah, pre-order...going to buy regardless, but if it might incur a promotional grant gaming giveaway should I hold off? Would the "receipt" need to be dated between some specified dates?

This is more a question about the behind-the-scenes business stuff, so while yes, this shouldn't matter in an ideal world, there's stuff that can complicate things.

  • Is there a reason (like an in-game bonus or something) for pre-purchasing it (now)?

  • I'd be interested to know about the receipt date thing. But I wouldn't rely on grants for all your games.

  • @Resorath I'm not relying on it (hence "buying regardless"), but there's no reason to unnecessary preclude obtaining one if it happens.

  • @JuanManuel for D3? Not that I know of, but I was trying to be general. Also figured if I could I'd just try to tick off one more thing on the never-ending to-do list of life.

  • I'm sure I've seen a comment before that said if you bought it and then qualified for the grant, you could get reimbursed, but don't quote me on that.

  • @MatthewRead I've heard that too, but can't find the root of it from an authoritative person. If you can...

  • If you do buy it, and there's a grant, you can give proof of purchase for a reimburstment. If there's not grant, well you bought it anyway so whats teh big deal :P

    Every grant so far has offered reimbursement, and I don't know why that would change because it's less effort for the SE folks. Just buy it and if you get lucky, hey, you get lucky.

    For both of the last two grants, I had pre-purchased both games before the grants were even announced, and I was reimbursed by providing a receipt.

Found it. The comments on this post:

GraceNote was saying last week to go ahead and order one, and they could reimburse you if you were selected. – Ullallulloo Feb 1 at 21:07

There is an electronic receipt you should get when making a purchase with Steam, Amazon, or any other online retailer. That will suffice for getting a refund, should you be selected. – Grace Note? Feb 1 at 21:26
